The best models of rimless toilets: floor-mounted and wall-hung

So in the renovation of the toilet the solemn time has come to choose its Faience King, or simply - the toilet. When you find yourself in a plumbing store, you may come across a model labeled “rimless.” Externally, such a toilet is no different from its counterparts, except for the absence of a rim, which logically follows from the name. But why did you need to get rid of it, why is this type of plumbing better than what we are used to, and why is it called the “toilet of the future”? I asked myself these same questions, so let’s try to figure them out.

Features of rimless toilets

To begin with, I propose to understand what is driving the decision to remove the headband out of sight. The “lucky” owners of the classic model will easily answer this question if they have had the opportunity to wipe off the dirt accumulated under the rim at least once in their lives. Without it, not only will it be much easier to clean the toilet, but there will also be much less dirt.Rimless toilet.

Reference! The latter is due to the updated flushing technology. It differs in models from different companies, but in general it is aimed at ensuring that the water is distributed over the entire surface of the bowl, without leaving empty spaces that can become dirty.

This is why rimless toilets are now considered the most hygienic of all those on the market. But won't the water, passing so dangerously close to the edge, overflow or splash over it?

Manufacturers have provided for this point as well. Now all leading companies supply our earthenware “friends” with an “anti-splash” system. It consists in a carefully thought-out direction of water movement and the degree of its pressure. So you don’t have to worry about the unsolicited “mini-bidet” function, or the need to wipe the floor with a rag after each flush.

Well, what about the price? The great news is that the cost of installing an updated flush system is almost the same as the cost of making the rim, meaning the financial difference is negligible.

Have you noticed how many advantages there are? But where are the disadvantages? You will be surprised, but this is a rare case when negative qualities simply do not exist. The only thing that can be considered among them is the danger of purchasing a low-quality model or a fake that will not meet the stated requirements.

But absolutely all goods and services sold in the world have such a “disadvantage,” so I am still inclined to conclude “there are no disadvantages.” And I think it’s not for nothing that the rimless model is called the “toilet of the future.” Now it is gradually removing products with rims from the shelves, and there is a high probability that sooner or later it will displace them completely.

Criterias of choice

First of all, let me remind you once again: purchase plumbing fixtures only from trusted manufacturers! Masterpieces from little-known companies, even those of very high quality at first glance, can bring many unpleasant surprises in the future.

As for the range, it differs in different flushing systems. A simple visual test will help you understand which one is most convenient for you - just flush the water and see in which direction it moves. The main thing is that it reliably cleans the bowl, which is its main function, but the aesthetics of the moment depends only on your taste.

The second classification determines how and what the toilet is attached to. According to this criterion, they are divided into the following varieties:

  • floor;
  • hanging.

Let's look at each of them in a little more detail.

Which models of rimless wall-hung toilets are better?

Wall-hung toilets are more compact than floor-mounted ones because the flush system is built into the wall. In addition, they allow you to thoroughly clean the room without any obstacles. Their main drawback is the higher complexity of installation than their floor-standing counterparts. I suggest you familiarize yourself with several of the models that most impressed me, presented by different companies.
