Rimless toilet in the interior of the bathroom (21 photos)

The quality of plumbing depends on the cleanliness and hygiene in the bathroom. We searched for a solution for a long period. Some companies created toilet bowls, the surface of which was covered with special coatings. The composition of the coating was intended to combat microorganisms. But after chemicals were used to wash the toilet, the coating quickly lost its properties.

The solution was found in 2019. The developers officially introduced the technology of "Rimless" ("without a rim"). The creators managed to achieve high hygienic ratings of plumbing equipped with new technology.

The goal of creating such models was the desire of developers to create toilet bowls with the most hygienic surface.

Design features

By design, a conventional and rimless toilet is similar. The external difference is only in the absence of a rim in the "Rimless" model. In the standard model, the rim ring serves as a guide for the flow of water. It is in this place that the largest amount of dirt and germs accumulates. Some time after the start of operation, it becomes more and more difficult to monitor the cleanliness of the toilet of the old model. Under the rim ring rust is formed, smudges.

The peculiarity of the structure of the rimless bowl is the absence of a rim. The developers solved the flushing problem in this design using the directional flow technique. A water divider, which is equipped with three ceramic channels, is mounted in the rear wall of the toilet. Channels control jets of water. Flushing occurs in three directions: left and right, in a circle and down.

The drainage system is designed so that the water pressure is supplied with maximum force. Thanks to the directed flow, the water thoroughly washes the entire perimeter of the bowl, but does not spray out of it.

Benefits

A rimless toilet has many advantages:

• Hygiene when using. In the model of this type, microbes and dirt are easily cleaned, since there are no hard-to-reach spots;
• Practicality and simplicity in leaving. A bezel-less toilet does not require frequent cleaning. The use of cleaning products and brushing are minimized. With light wiping with a damp cloth, all accumulations of dirt are removed;
• Water saving. For a one-time flush, the conventional model takes about 6 liters of water. In a bezelless - 4 l. Water saving during the operation of the new model is about 30%;
• Aesthetic look. Most models have an aesthetic appearance. A variety of shapes and sizes allows you to choose a toilet bowl that fits better into the design of the bathroom;
• Environmental friendliness. Detergents and cleaners are highly allergenic. The rimless toilet bowl is cleaned much less frequently and without a large amount of aggressive chemistry;
• Pleasant pricing. The cost of Rimlss models is not much different from ordinary ones;
• Convenience at operation. Suspended models produce less noise during operation.

Negative sides

Deficiencies in the operation of rimless models were not found. An exception is the individual flaws of some firms. Mainly:

• toilet shortage;
• improper bowl size;
• incorrectly selected bowl depth.

Varieties

Bezel-less models come in two types and differ according to the installation principle: floor-less bezel-less toilet and wall-hung toilet.

Some varieties of rimless toilets have a special compartment for cleaning products. When washing off, the product is trapped in water and spreads over the surface being washed. Such toilets are manufactured by VitrA. They are used for public toilets. This model is especially effective in medical institutions.

TOTO toilets have a built-in program, the task of which is the destruction of microbes and bacteria. The flushing system is thought out so that several streams of water are used.

Ideal Standart, Gustavsberg, Duravit, Hatria, Roca - the best companies that produce rimless toilets, known for the quality of their products.

Floor toilet

Plumbing of this type is installed with emphasis on the floor. It is made of porcelain or earthenware. Most manufacturers have developed a bidet cover or seat-lift of their own production for this model. The principle of operation of the lift is similar to the principle of the door closer. The convenience of a microlift is that the lid closes smoothly and without knocking. The service life of the structure is increased.

Using a bidet cover has an additional level of practicality and hygiene. Users can install mechanical or electronic covers. The mechanical covers are universal, suitable for any toilet, but have a drawback: lack of heating.

Electronic have increased comfort. Filters have a self-cleaning function in automatic mode. They have only one drawback - high cost.

Wall-mounted rimless toilet

The design of the hanging model is also called plumbing with installation. The model is new, and many raise concerns about maintenance, installation of plumbing and operation.

The installation for the hanging toilet is a frame that is welded from durable metal pipes. The frame is fixed to the wall in four places: two points on the floor, two in the upper parts of the structure. The upper mounts are fixed at a height of 1 m 20 cm. The installation is fixed with bolts (diameter 12 mm). One such bolt can support a person’s weight. In this design, two of them are used. Reliability adds leverage, which is formed by the installation.

The toilet is installed at a height of 35-40 cm from the floor. The bowl has a distance from the center point (shoulder strength) than the bolts at the top of the frame 3 times. This reduces the load on the mount 3 times. The total weight of the structure is able to withstand a weight of 500 kg.

If you fix the installation correctly, the reliability of the design is not in doubt. The tank, flexible hoses - everything is closed from above with drywall. It seems that the toilet is simply attached to the wall.

Maintenance and repair of wall hung toilet

The second question arises about the maintenance of a hanging rimless toilet. How to replace the drain tank when it flows? Do you have to dismantle the entire structure? Manufacturers give a guarantee for toilet mechanisms up to 10 years. Tanks of this design do not have seams, which makes their leakage impossible. In addition, the design is equipped with an emergency overflow system.

If there is a need to replace the mechanism, it is quite easy to do this by removing the drain button. The lid-button is fixed on the valves and is removed quite easily. The design is attached to the float with a threaded fastener. It is easily twisted and untwisted by hand.

The whole mechanism with a float and a valve can be repaired by pulling it out.

The faucet, which is located inside the tank, has a non-classical thread and a plastic "lamb" to block the flow of water. His job is to turn off the water during the repair of the structure. The faucet is connected to the piping with cold water.

Model Benefits

The advantage of this type of toilet is obvious.In floor constructions, the biggest problem is cleaning around the floor pipe. Mopping hard to reach places is not always possible. You have to carry out manual cleaning. This is not acceptable in public toilets. In a hanging model of a bezel-less toilet, such a problem does not exist. Due to the fact that the design does not touch the floor, cleaning the bathroom is much easier.

The drain tank is closed behind the wall of drywall, during its operation, almost no noise is heard.

Toilet Tips

• choose the model that suits your bathroom exactly. To do this, take into account the size of the room, especially the water supply to the tank of the selected device. A compact bezel-less toilet is perfect for small rooms. The tank is attached directly to the bowl and does not occupy additional space;
• get acquainted with the catalogs of different manufacturers, read reviews. Choose the color of the plumbing to fit harmoniously into the overall interior of the bathroom: take into account the features of wall decoration, the color of other plumbing fixtures;
• determine the presence of additional functions for the selected model of plumbing: a lid-bidet or a micro-lift.

The installation of rimless toilets is best entrusted to experienced professionals.
