What is the difference between a rimless and a rimmed toilet bowl?
Traditional rimmed toilet bowls are designed in such a way that they have rims inside. These are designed to reduce the risk of water splashing out of the toilet when flushing. Due to the fact that cleaning such a rim is quite problematic, more and more people are deciding to buy so-called rimless toilet bowls.
A rimless toilet bowl has no rim, which makes its inner surface smooth. This makes it easier to clean. To avoid water splashing from the inside of the toilet, simply cover it with a seat while flushing. Apart from the rim, there is no other difference between these types of toilets. Both can be:
- mounted standing,
- suspended on a special frame.
Better hygiene in the toilet thanks to the rimless toilet bowl
Rimless toilet bowls have gained immense popularity primarily because they make it easier to keep the toilet clean. In the case of traditional toilet bowls, even with regular cleaning with strong agents, it is difficult to remove all the dirt and bacteria. This is due to the protruding rim. There is a recess along its entire length, and such nooks and crannies are the best place for bacteria to grow and other dirt to settle.
There is no such problem with rimless toilet bowls. They have a completely smooth structure on the inside, so dirt has nowhere to accumulate. To keep them clean, just rinse thoroughly after each use of the toilet and regularly wash the entire bowl with products designed for this purpose. Water in such bowls reaches everywhere, which makes them extremely practical, and they also allow for maintaining maximum hygiene in the toilet.
Some people are afraid that the lack of a rim will cause splashing from the bowl. In fact, it is enough to choose a toilet seat from a reputable manufacturer. They have a carefully thought-out design, thanks to which they retain all the water inside. To be on the safe side, it is best to cover the bowl with a seat when flushing. Especially since this is necessary to prevent the spread of bacteria and their settling on nearby surfaces.
Who will benefit from a rimless toilet bowl?
Modern rimless toilet bowls have a minimalist look, making them perfect for bathrooms in any style. They will certainly appeal to lovers of elegant design. Thanks to such a bowl, the toilet looks much better even if it is not finished with expensive materials. The toilet seat is one of the most important elements, which is why it is worth paying special attention to it when arranging the interior.
It is worth mentioning once again that a rimless bowl will be a great choice for anyone who values cleanliness. By installing it in your toilet, you can be sure that dirt and bacteria will not grow in the toilet. The lack of a rim also prevents limescale from forming, so the bowl will look as if it was just bought for a long time.
A rimless toilet bowl will also be a good solution for those who value water savings. The flush volume is limited to 3 liters in most cases. Lower water consumption is possible thanks to the special construction. In this type of bowl, it is better distributed, which also helps avoid splashing.
How to properly install a rimless toilet bowl?
When it comes to installing a rimless toilet bowl, first of all, you need to pay attention to its type. It can be suspended or free-standing. In the first case, it is necessary to use a matching frame for proper installation. It will also be crucial to mount it at the right height.
The toilet bowl should normally be hung about 40 cm above the floor. However, it sometimes happens that it is better to mount the bowl higher. It is worth deciding on this if you have a disabled person in your home or when most of the household members are tall. It should be remembered that using the toilet may then be difficult for children.
Which toilet bowl manufacturers are best to choose?
When choosing fittings, it is essential to pay attention to the manufacturer, especially when it comes to elements such as a sink, bathtub or toilet. It is important to purchase them carefully, because replacing them later can be very troublesome. If the toilet bowl is damaged, it will be difficult to find another one that would be mounted in exactly the same way. It is best to choose a bowl from a reputable manufacturer that will serve for many years.
The most valued brands in the ceramics industry include:
They offer fittings with high-quality coatings, with minimalist design. When it comes to rimless bowls, the most popular manufacturers are Roca and Grohe. You can easily buy a matching, elegant seat for the toilets they offer. With some bowls, the seat is even included.
