Toilets monoblock: advantages and disadvantages

A standard toilet is made of two parts, which must be fastened with special elements for tight connection. It is almost not possible to make installation by yourself. To facilitate production, as well as ease of installation and operation, models were released from a single design - toilet monoblocks. Consider their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the nuances of choice.

Since recently, the toilet-monoblock, which is rapidly gaining popularity, has appeared on the plumbing market. Manufacturers have combined tank and bowl, which in normal versions are separate parts. At the stages of production, each element of the monobloc toilet is carefully adjusted. Therefore, the model does not need additional debugging.The release provides test tests, after which the plumbing is sent for sale. Monolithic equipment is made of high-strength earthenware. At the same time, duroplast will allow to preserve the original color for the entire lifetime.

Despite the fact that the monoblock toilet is not different to the usual model, it has strengths.

Consider the main aspects.

• Single base. The connection of the bowl and the tank does not require the purchase of additional mounts.
• Easy installation. From the owner is required only to fix the monoblock on the floor, connect the water supply, not forgetting the sewer drain.
• Long service life. The unified system increases the strength of the product compared to typical analogues. Gaskets and seals in this case will not be required.
• Efficiency. Most models control water consumption.

• Design. Manufacturers offer a wide range of models in different shades and sizes. The buyer can choose the individual style and shape of the structure, suitable for the individual interior.
• Easy care. Production is made without the help of corners, which simplifies the cleaning process.
• Rounded shape.The narrowed base allows any member of the family to use the monoblock. All models fall under the social program, thanks to which the toilet can be used by people with disabilities.

Minimalism and modern production technology affect the cost of monoblock toilets. On this basis, the price is the main drawback. However, the minus pays off long-term operation, because manufacturers give a guarantee for the service life of about 15-20 years. The integrity of the design along with the dignity is a disadvantage. Replace the bowl or drain tank is impossible.

We'll have to buy new fittings for a full replacement. On this basis, experts advise to buy an additional set of internal elements at the acquisition stage. Such recommendations did not appear from scratch. In case of unforeseen breakdowns, the necessary parts may simply not be on the market.

Recommendations of experts will help you to choose the right toilet.

• Before buying plumbing, you must make sure that you have instructions that match the model you want. Some manufacturers produce a unified guide for all types of candy bars, which do not include individual features.

• Installation of products requires professional installation skills and a certain type of tool. Buying it for single installation is impractical. Therefore, you should use the services of specialists familiar with monoblocks.
• Models are equipped with a water saving device that raises the cost of the product. The acquisition of this type of monoblock toilet allows you to control the meter readings. Payment for utilities significantly reduced.
