In the design phase it becomes essential to know how to choose bathroom sanitary ware. Beyond taste or style, in fact, it is important to evaluate all the technical aspects. Let’s find out more together.
How to choose bathroom sanitary ware
The first discriminating factor is the reconstruction or maintenance of the systems. If you want to redo the systems, there are no constraints in choosing the model or type of installation, the only variables that can affect this decision are the space in the bathroom and the footprint of the sanitary ware compared to the other furnishing elements, or the opening of doors and windows, present in the room.
If, on the other hand, the sanitary fixtures are installed on pre-existing systems without carrying out a real renovation, the limits on which sanitary fixtures for the bathroom to choose are:
- The position of the drain (wall or floor);
- The measures of the discharge and water inlet;
- The distance between the hot and cold water inlet for the bidet.
Without this information, you cannot choose the sanitary ware model for your bathroom.
Bathroom sanitary ware: which ones to choose
The first thing to decide is the type of installation: floor-mounted or suspended bathroom fixtures. Of course, the choice becomes mandatory if the systems are not redone: if the drain is on the ground, sanitary fixtures must necessarily be installed on the ground; if the drain is on the wall and the measures allow it, you can opt for both floor and wall sanitary ware.
Bathroom sanitary ware on the ground
There are two types of installation among the ground sanitary ware:
- The spaced from the wall: they are the first type of installation placed on the market, but nowadays it is used almost exclusively when the wall sanitary ware cannot be installed or in cases where no other solution is found for the measurements of an old system (a drain on the ground very far from the wall). The only Flaminia collection of this type is the Efi. Frequently, however, even for older systems, it is possible to install wall toilet and bidet thanks to the Plus drain system, designed by Flaminia, present on the series: Efi, Madre, Link, App, Quick.
- Wall sanitary ware: they are the most common as they allow you to completely remove the space behind the fixtures that remains open and where you can see the pipes, this space, in addition to being unsightly, is also not very functional as it lurks dirt and hardly you can clean. Furthermore, by eliminating it, the clutter of the bathroom fixtures decreases and space is saved in the room. The toilets with Plus drain allow flush-to-wall installation even where it would not be possible with normal sanitary ware.
Modern and design bathroom fixtures: how to choose suspended sanitary ware
Modern bathroom sanitary ware and design bathroom sanitary ware in general are suspended or flush with the wall. We have already talked about the latter, now let’s investigate how to choose the suspended sanitary ware. The convenience of the suspended is that of being able to clean the floor easily and certainly the attractive aesthetic result. For compatibility, the important thing is that the height of the drain matches that of the selected vessel. Another factor to take into consideration is the construction material of the wall on which the toilet and bidet will be walled: if, in fact, the wall is plasterboard or the like, then it will be necessary to purchase a box with a frame that can support the weight of the ceramic. If you want to replace the suspended sanitary ware with those on the ground flush with the wall, the Plus waste toilets allow you to do so.
