Combined Toilets and Cisterns

If you have decided on a combined toilet, the first crucial criterion when choosing the right model is the waste connection type. The most common types are bottom outlet and rear outlet, with both options similarly represented in product offerings. The rear outlet is horizontal, while the bottom outlet is vertical and goes into the floor. Another technological aspect to consider when selecting a combined toilet is the cistern fill type. This refers to how the water supply is connected to the cistern – it can be side or bottom fill. Both options are equally available for combined toilets in the product catalog.

Flushing Technology – With or Without Rim?

For a combined toilet, as well as for any other toilet, another key factor is the flushing method. A standard combined toilet has a so-called rim around the top edge of the bowl. This helps distribute water evenly so the bowl is thoroughly rinsed. However, the rim has drawbacks – it can accumulate bacteria, limescale, and other debris more easily. Manufacturers have recently introduced rimless solutions, known as rimless toilets. The bowl has a specially shaped edge where water flows directly. In addition to being more hygienic, rimless toilets use less water when flushing.

Accessories – Pay Attention to the Toilet Seat

Among accessories, the cistern is of course the first consideration if it is not integrated into the combined toilet. Besides the various flushing systems, you should consider the fill volume. Also, pay attention to the toilet seat. Some combined toilets come with a seat included, while others are sold without a toilet seat. If you can choose the seat, we recommend models with SoftClose technology. This ensures the seat closes slowly and quietly. Thanks to this technology, the toilet seat has a longer lifespan and is better suited for households with children.

Dimensions – Length and Height Are Important

Unlike wall-hung toilets, users cannot adjust the height of a combined toilet during installation. Combined toilets have fixed dimensions, which are specified by the manufacturer in the product details. Pay attention to them.

Both length and height are important. Length matters because a smaller bathroom can only accommodate a compact combined toilet. Height is crucial depending on the users’ needs. The standard height is 45 cm, but this may not suit everyone. For example, it may be too high for children, in which case families may prefer a smaller model or children’s combined toilet. Conversely, elderly people or those with limited mobility will appreciate a higher toilet that makes standing up easier. For these users, we offer combined toilets for people with disabilities.
