Frequently asked questions about the Sinks, toilets category
Sinks, toilets — what are they and what are they used for?
Sinks, toilets are sanitary fixtures for washing and waste disposal in bathrooms and toilets. Sinks (washbasins) serve for handwashing and mixer installation; toilets (WC pots) provide comfort and hygiene. Available types include floor-standing and wall-hung models and in-wall frames for concealed installation.
How to choose between floor-standing and wall-hung toilets?
Choose a floor-standing toilet for simpler installation and solidity; a wall-hung toilet is ideal for easier cleaning and a modern look. Wall-hung models require an in-wall frame and sufficient wall load-bearing capacity and correct outlet diameter.
What sizes of sinks and toilets are available in the "Sinks, toilets" category?
The category includes sinks from compact 40–50 cm models (e.g. Duravit 40x22, 50x22 cm) up to 60–80 cm wide basins. Toilets come in standard and compact depths; always check product dimensions listed on the product page.
What materials are used for sinks and toilets in the range?
The range mainly features ceramic (porcelain/sanitaryware) sinks and toilets, plus acrylic and cast stone (valumarmor) sinks. Ceramic is durable and easy to clean; cast stone offers a designer look and good thermal properties.
Does a wall-hung toilet need an installation frame and which frames are available?
Yes, a wall-hung toilet requires an in-wall installation frame for concealed mounting and support. The range includes frames compatible with models such as Villeroy & Boch and other wall-hung toilets, providing secure fixing and load-bearing capacity.
What types of toilet seats exist and how to choose the right one?
Toilet seats come in plastic, soft-close, children’s and ergonomic designs. Choose based on the toilet bowl shape (round or elongated), hinge spacing and features like soft-close or quick-release for easier cleaning.
How often should baths, sinks and toilets be cleaned and which cleaners are suitable?
Clean sinks and toilets at least daily with heavy use; baths typically 1–2 times per week under normal conditions. Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft sponges suitable for ceramic and cast-stone (valumarmor) surfaces; avoid strong acids and abrasive powders.
What spare parts for toilets are available and what are they for?
Available parts include fixings, flush valves, flush buttons, seats and seals for repairs and maintenance. These spare parts let you replace worn components without replacing the whole toilet, extending the fixture’s service life.
How do toilets with different flush systems (3/6 l, Rimless, etc.) differ?
A 3/6 l dual-flush system saves water by offering two flush volumes; Rimless toilets have no rim for more hygienic and even flushing with fewer hard-to-clean areas. Choose based on water efficiency needs or ease of cleaning.
Do standard traps and drains fit all sinks in the category?
Standard traps and drains (1¼" connections) fit most sinks; however, some models with offset tap holes, deep bowls or special waste layouts require specific fittings. Always check the chosen sink’s technical specifications on the product page.
