Before choosing the type of sanitary ware for your bathroom, it is necessary to make some important evaluations, taking into consideration the layout of the room.
Do we simply need to replace them or are we in the middle of a renovation? Or again, are we about to furnish the bathroom from scratch?
In the first case, for example, we have to submit to the arrangement of the pre-existing exhausts and the choice will thus be limited on models very similar to those to be replaced. In the latter case, however, we will have full freedom and we will be able to make arrangements with the plumber and the bricklayer, so that we can choose the sanitary ware we like best.
Let’s find out together what are the main types of sanitary ware, and all the solutions offered by expert bathrooms for refined, modern and prestigious furniture.
All types of sanitary ware
Bathroom sanitary ware can be divided into classic, flush with the wall, wall-hung and retractable.
Today the bathroom is no longer just the functional environment responsible for physiological needs or personal care, but a real space to be furnished, with its own identity. For this reason, many people decide to rely on the architect and the interior designer, in order to combine the aesthetic and practical aspects.
A bathroom can be classic or modern, with vintage and retro references, or with an innovative and design taste.
Each bathroom has its own soul and character, and can marry with or distance itself from the general furnishings of the house.
Let’s now find out what are the various types of sanitary ware on the market, evaluating and comparing the characteristics and evaluating the pros and cons.
1. Classic sanitary ware
These are traditional floor-standing sanitary ware, with the toilet flush on the floor and the water cistern raised, backpack-shaped or built into the wall.
The toilet and bidet are fixed to the floor with simple dowels.
Classic sanitary ware is the easiest to assemble and also fits wonderfully into plasterboard walls. In general, these are the cheapest and most widespread.
2. sanitary ware flush with the wall
These are sanitary ware so as not to leave space between the body and the wall, installed precisely flush with the wall as the name suggests. The toilet and bidet drain can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted.
They are transversal and versatile sanitary ware for any type of bathroom, from the smallest to the largest and most spacious. On the market you can find very resistant and robust flush sanitary ware, much more innovative than the models of past decades.
3. wall-hung sanitary ware
Unlike a classic and traditional style bathroom, wall-hung sanitary ware is designed for a modern and contemporary environment.
They stand out for their clean and essential lines, and a modern design that makes them appear much lighter, precisely because they do not rest on the ground.
One of the advantages of wall-hung sanitary ware is the guarantee of a bright, large and spacious effect: they enhance small bathrooms and are much easier to keep clean, as you can mop under the toilet and bidet toilet.
4. Retractable sanitary ware
They are the most innovative and are designed for small environments. Sink, bidet and toilet are designed to be folded and inserted into the wall, so as to take up minimal space and not create clutter.
In general, the most contemporary designs consist of bidet toilets and tilting toilets, which once used can be closed like a book and, as the name suggests, disappear flush into the wall with a simple gesture.
