Design Toilets
Designing a toilet furniture seems simple, but with the right design it is a feast for the “design eye”.
Sustainability of toilet
The design of a toilet bowl/furniture can vary based on several factors, including aesthetics, functionality, ergonomics and durability. But it will have to match the overall aesthetic of the bathroom.
Toilet bowls can have different shapes, such as round, oval or square. The size should be comfortable for users of all sizes and fit into the available space.
Various flushing systems are available, such as cistern flushing, pressure flushing and dual-flush flushing. Choosing an efficient flushing system can save water.
The height of the toilet seat should be comfortable for users, and this may vary depending on the target group (e.g. children, adults, elderly).
The material of the toilet bowl should be durable and easy to clean. Ceramic is a common material due to its durability and smooth surface.
Unique style of the toilet
The design of the toilet bowl should match the overall aesthetic of the bathroom. Different styles are available, from modern to classic.
Consider features such as a built-in bidet, self-cleaning properties and antimicrobial coatings to improve hygiene.
Designing a toilet bowl with low water consumption is environmentally friendly and can reduce water bills.
Make sure the toilet bowl is firmly on the floor to prevent wobbling or moving.
Simplified installation designs can make the job easier for plumbers.
Consider features such as grab bars, raised seats and space for wheelchair users to improve accessibility.
The design of a toilet bowl depends on the specific needs and requirements of the user and the room in which it is installed.
Easy maintenance of the toilet
The maintenance of a toilet is important to ensure hygiene, functionality and durability. Here are some steps you can follow to properly maintain your toilet:
-
Regular cleaning : Clean the toilet regularly, preferably at least once a week. Use a toilet cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar to clean the inside of the toilet bowl, the seat, and the outside of the toilet. Brush thoroughly to remove stains and grime.
-
Removing limescale : If you are bothered by limescale in the toilet, you can use a limescale remover or soak a mixture of vinegar and water to loosen the deposits. Then scrub with a toilet brush.
-
Use toilet brush and paper : Always use a toilet brush to clean the toilet, and rinse the brush thoroughly after use. Do not use abrasive materials such as steel wool as this can damage the surface of the toilet. Do not flush large amounts of toilet paper, sanitary towels, tampons or other foreign objects down the toilet as this can cause blockages.
-
Check for leaks : Regularly check for leaks around the base of the toilet and at the water connections. If you discover a leak, repair it immediately to avoid water waste and damage to the floor.
-
Sink maintenance : Check the sink for leaks and ensure that the flush mechanisms are working properly. If the toilet does not flush properly, there may be problems with the float or valve. Replace worn parts if necessary.
-
Ventilation: Ensure sufficient ventilation in the bathroom to prevent moisture problems, such as mold and mildew formation.
When cleaning, consider using eco-friendly toilet cleaners to reduce environmental impact.
Do not pour excess grease or large food particles into the toilet, and do not flush disposable wipes, cotton swabs or other non-dissolvable items down the toilet.
Regular maintenance of your toilet can prevent problems and ensure that it continues to work properly. It is also important for the overall hygiene of your bathroom.
