Rules for choosing toilet dimensions

There are several criteria to consider when purchasing a device.

First you need to determine how the model will be placed in the room. We take measurements of the room, focusing on the location of the sewer outlet - the toilet siphon will be connected to it, accordingly, the accessory is installed above this place or next to it.

We take into account the features of the selected instance. For example, the performance of a corner toilet is determined by the width of the corner of the room. The frame on which the hanging model is mounted has different sizes, so they are chosen depending on the wall and load.

Attention! The bathroom can be combined or separate, but the installation conditions are identical for both cases.

There must be a free space of at least 600 mm in front of the structure. This is necessary so that the user does not experience discomfort, for example, does not rest his knees on other equipment. A distance of 300 mm is maintained from the side walls and other plumbing fixtures; this will ensure convenient cleaning and passage. General requirements:

• a person moves freely in the room;
• There is no blocking of the front door, the cabinets open freely.

We will pay special attention to the dimensions of the plumbing fixtures.

The height of the accessory is selected so that it is comfortable to sit on. Correct position: feet do not hang in the air, but stand firmly on the floor. The value is selected based on the height of the tallest resident.

The width is determined by the physical shape of the owner - there should be no muscle stiffness.

The length is mentioned above: the value is suitable if the device allows you to freely open and close the room.

What to pay attention to:

• the comfort of using plumbing is ensured for all residents;
• the device is proportional to the parameters of the room;
• The appearance matches the design of the bathroom.

Choosing a new toilet is not difficult. It is enough to decide on the desired type of device and calculate the parameters. Be sure to check the future installation location so that use is comfortable and all actions proceed without difficulty.
