Cersanit toilets: range review

In any home, the toilet is installed "seriously and for a long time." This is quite an expensive product, and its installation requires effort, time and money. There are a lot of offers on the plumbing market; however, for several decades now, the Polish manufacturing company Cersanit has held a stable leading position.

The Polish company Cersanit declared itself as early as the 90s of the last century as an enterprise producing high-quality sanitary ware, as well as ceramic tiles for facing bathrooms, furniture for sanitary facilities and necessary accessories (toilet seat, spare parts, gaskets).

Today, the holding's production is represented in various countries.including in Russia, in the Syzran region. Despite this, the bulk of products are manufactured in China. By the way, this is not advertised on the official Internet portal Cersanit.

The interests of the company in our country are represented by its subsidiary, Rovese Rus LLC, and in 2010 the company bought the Syzran Ceramics factory, where it opened its production facilities, thanks to which the products became available for Russians. In our country, sales are conducted through an extensive distribution network, and already 4 years after the opening of the plant, in 2014, this brand became the most purchased among our compatriots.

All products of this manufacturer are of exceptionally high quality., reliability, practicality and durability. Products meet all necessary sanitary standards, are made from environmentally friendly materials and are considered to be very functional.

The key to the popularity of Cersanit sanitary ware lies in a variety of factors.

• Almost all users note the aesthetic and attractive appearance of the toilet bowls of this brand.
• Models are compact and ergonomic.Many do not see the connection between modest size and convenience. However, the realities of life are such that the majority of Russians have very small bathrooms, in which there is simply no place to "turn around", which is why it is especially important for them to buy a model that will be both small and cozy.

• High quality enamel coating. This advantage favorably distinguishes the Polish company from numerous competitors, moreover, many of them would be worth learning from the Poles the science of enameling.
• Fortress pottery. The material from which plumbing is made is hard and resistant to mechanical damage, you can be absolutely sure that with minor external influences your “faience friend” will not be covered with deformations. You should not check its strength for strength and run for a hammer - if you hit a very heavy object, then absolutely any product can break.

• A multi-stage control system throughout the entire production line minimizes the risk of defective products.
• High-performance firing technology causes uniform color coating and aesthetic appearance. which remains unchanged throughout the entire period of use.
• The application of a special protective coating that prevents the emergence of bacteria and dirt accumulation - given the characteristics of the structure's operation, this property can be considered quite relevant and important for each family, such a toilet is quite simple to keep clean and tidy.

Obviously, the concept of “good toilet” each puts its interpretation: decorativeness is more important to someone, practicality to someone, and affordability is important to many. Cersanit is an optimal combination of price - quality, thanks to which the models of this series can attract the attention of lovers of comfort, order and affordable price.

The disadvantages of the model range of this brand primarily come from the correct installation of toilet bowls. If the technology was broken, after a short period of time there are leaks, and the toilet just fails. Therefore, any attempt to install such a toilet on their own can only cause even greater expenditure of effort, time and money.The situation is complicated by the fact that there are quite a few specialists, as well as service centers that specialize in working with products of this Polish brand in Russia, so the elimination of any defect can be seriously delayed.

Cersanit products have long been known to the Russian buyer. Having broken into the market of sanitary products a few decades ago, the company in a matter of years established itself as a leader in its segment, confidently moving manufacturers from other countries. The key to this success lies in the combination of the highest quality, stylish design and competitive prices. This allowed the Polish company to compete with venerable enterprises from Germany and Italy.

At the same time, the composition from which the covers on the toilet seats are made deserves separate consideration:

• Duroplast - a special film of polymers, which firmly covers the entire product. It exhibits resistance to abrasion and minor damage, adheres well to the base material,thus creating a warm and pleasant to the touch surface.
• Polypropylene - material that is durable and durable, it does not absorb unpleasant odors, does not react with water and products of human activity, but also prevents the appearance of stains on the floor.

Another feature that unites all Cersanit products is the functionality of sanitary fittings. Like all the most modern models, the toilets of this brand are equipped with a dual-mode sink and a microlift - some kind of closer, which contributes to the slow lowering of the seat cover, preventing them from falling and hitting.

The breadth of the range of models is another feature of Polish products. Here you can find the standard toilets, compact, original, as well as luxury models. In addition, in the product line there are toilets for people with disabilities, which are equipped with additional handrails and supports - and not every brand can boast of this.

Many consumers do not attach much importance to the shape of the toilet, believing that the only parameter that matters is its functionality and uninterrupted operation.However, the modern market of toilet bowls offers a wide variety of models, which differ not only in design, but also in the design principle.

Cersanit toilets are divided into several types.

• Outdoor These are standard, traditional models familiar to Russians. They are a comfortable seat located on a low leg, and behind it is a drain tank that serves as a reservoir for storing water.
• Wall mounted - these models, in contrast to the outdoor ones, are more complex in design, they require more labor for installation and installation. Such a product is located directly on the wall and does not come into contact with the floor, so the model is in demand from those users who need free space on the floor. Technically, the design is a metal frame within which the entire part of the device is not visible to the eye, as well as the drain tank. This framework is faced with plasterboard and covered with a finishing finish. Installation, as a rule, is carried out during the overhaul of the dwelling, and when it comes to private household, it is still at the construction stage.
• Cersanit toilets come without bezels, distributes an added option, and also versions in which the double discharge is equipped. The choice of products is wide, so everyone can buy a model to your taste.

Today, in the catalog of the manufacturer's online store, two compact models of floor toilets and ten - mounted ones are offered. In fact, the assortment list is much broader, it includes products for people with disabilities.

Prices for toilets, according to 2017, start at 9.5 thousand rubles - in this category are offered Trento, Just, Eko, Facile and Parva Economy Models. In Europe, such models are also considered budget. By the way, the suspended versions belong to the same price group, if the basis of calculation is to take only the price of sanitary ware without installing it.

More expensive, but still affordable, models are presented in the collections of Carina, Nano, Senator. Their main difference from cheaper options is a stylish design and some additional technical features. For example, an anti-splash system or lid closer can be built in here.

From consumer information about the use of the toilet to the Polish company can draw interesting observations.

• Buyers pay attention to the aesthetic and attractive design of toilet bowls. Tank of the original form, a white seat of polypropylene and a comfortable configuration. At the same time the tank itself is rather ergonomic, you can easily place toilet paper, air freshener and fragrance on it.
• Users note that the models in most cases are quite heavy. However, this only contributes to the improvement of consumer operational features of the installation. The strength of the material, according to users, speaks of the high density of ceramics, and thus the strength and durability of the product, and its durability, wear resistance and resistance to mechanical damage. By the way, this factor is key when choosing any plumbing, and not just toilet bowls.

• In most cases, ease of installation and ease of installation are noted, the tank is attached without any problems, the bowl is standing firmly on the support,does not stagger when pressed and does not emit sounds during the use of the object for its intended purpose, and this is very important, since the extra sound often causes nervous irritation.
• Many users note that the drain mechanism works in uninterrupted mode, no complaints about its functionality. Even those who use models of 2-7 years note that for the entire period of operation they have not had the need to replace any parts.

• The water from the tank flows out in sufficient volume, washing off intensive and removes all traces of human activity from the first rinsing, thereby significantly saving the overall water consumption in the house.
• As for the minuses, sometimes there are some additional problems with their installation, however, most often this can be the result of the carelessness of the house craftsmen who have not studied the installation of the structure with their own hands well enough - while fixing the toilet bowl to the surface, many people connect it with disabilities technology and this inevitably causes problems.

• Also, a number of users point to the imperfection of the installation and the need to replace its main elements.Therefore, for reinsurance, it is possible to recommend to purchase individual elements of construction fasteners - in any hardware store they are represented in the widest range.
• A number of users note that with the passage of time on the surface of the bowl a raid occurs, in order to avoid this, it is necessary to regularly use special cleaning products that can be purchased at any store.
• Not all Cersanit models have a cover, so in some cases you will need to buy it additionally, and this moment also causes dissatisfaction of customers.

• According to the masters, the installation manual is very incomprehensible, it significantly complicates the installation and fixation of fasteners.
• A small percentage of consumers say that several months after the purchase of a toilet bowl of a Polish brand, the water in the tank began to accumulate with difficulty, which led to the need to purchase and install a new valve.
• Finally, for the first two years of use, many customers had to replace the duroplastic cover with a conventional plastic modification, since the first one went cracked.

Toilets, like any other technology, sooner or later fail. Most often the trigger mechanism or valves and its elements, as well as the seat cover, break. Failure of the latter may be due to improper installation and deformations that occurred during the use of the system.

Most often, the first breakdowns make themselves felt after 6–9 years, and this phenomenon is considered normal. However, it also happens that the first problems manifest themselves, already several weeks after the installation of the structure, in which case a serious problem arises.

The fact is that despite the constantly growing market for Cersanit toilet bowls, technical support for this product does not keep pace with its implementation. Brand products can be bought in almost every region, but service centers are not at all in any city, and the challenge of the warranty wizard alone makes it difficult to order too much.

Unfortunately, toilet bowls break not according to the schedule.Often, a problem arises unexpectedly and it is simply not possible to wait for the master to come. In this case, you can try to fix the damage yourself with your own hands. Of course, not all problems can be solved by improvised means, but many are quite amenable to home repair.

Sometimes the cause of problems can be a cracked cuff that connects the drain tank and the neck of the toilet bowl. In order to eliminate the malfunction of the equipment, it is necessary to simply replace the cracked rubber with a new one. To this end, shut off the main valve and shut off the flow of water, and then remove the lid of the built-in tank from the surface of the toilet bowl. Next, you need to carefully disconnect the inlet float valve, and also remove the fastening screw. The cuff from the toilet bowl is cut with a knife, then the tank is placed upside down with a shelf and the pipe is fixed to its narrower part about one third of the entire length of the cuff.

The extended edge of the cuff is tensioned onto the fastened nozzle. At the same time, it is turned inside out. Then the tank is returned to its place, the float valve is connected and the bushings with screws and the shelves are installed, and the nuts should not be tightened very tightly. Only then put the cuff on the neck of the container. As a temporary measure, when there is no opportunity to go to the hardware store, a simple pharmacy elastic bandage can help. As a rule, they wrap the cuff and firmly fix the end of the tape, hooking it under the finishing turn.

As you know, any problem is better to prevent than to fix. That is why, even at the stage of purchase and installation of a toilet bowl, one should focus on some operational features - this will significantly reduce the risk of breakdowns in the near future. Pay attention to exactly how water is drained: it should be distributed in a circle, and if it comes off in any other way, it is likely that you have a defective product.

Before you install the tank and put it on the base, you should cover the coating adjacent to the tile with silicone sealant. Otherwise, scratches and chipped coating may occur. Before you start cutting the pipes included in the installation, check the accuracy of the calculations.

If you do not have experience installing a toilet, it makes sense to turn to professionalsthat all work will be performed in strict accordance with the technical requirements. Of course, their services must be paid for. However, remember that the miser pays twice, and any flaw in installing the toilet can lead to serious leaks.

• Compact toilets look stylish and practical.

• Traditional floor designs harmoniously fit into any interior.

• Suspended models are good in modern interiors.
