The traditional color of the toilet, baths and sinks are white. Manufacturers deliberately produce large batches of plumbing of light shades, because the bathrooms in most buyers are small in size and only white plumbing looks appropriate and visually expands the space in a small room. If you are tired of a boring white color, and you want to purchase and install a color toilet, and your bathroom is spacious, then you can choose a suitable product from the presented assortment.
Color toilets appeared on the market in the last century. Every year, the assortment of these products expands and its buyer is located for each product. Back in Soviet times, in stores one could see not only white toilets, but also pale blue and green. Such plumbing was practically not in demand, because in standard bathrooms of high -rise buildings I did not look, but the invisible white toilet was just suitable. And now most people are trying not to pay attention to colored toilets and buy white plumbing in the old fashioned way. And in vain, because color toilets have a number of advantages.
Pay attention to color plumbing
So, you went to the plumbing store and with interest are considering color toilets - they are bright and very attractive. Why is it worth choosing just such products? First, let's move away a little from generally accepted concepts, if the toilet is colored, then it must be bright: red, bright green or blue. This is not so, manufacturers can please buyers with very unusual products. So, instead of the expected red toilet, you will see a delicate shade in the store, plain or with a pattern. We can say that unobtrusive shades do not repel at all.
Also on sale you can find real design masterpieces - these are multi -color toilets or plumbing with a pattern. Such a toilet (shell or bath) look good in a spacious room with plain tiles.
There is practically nothing to say about the disadvantages of colored toilets, except that they require more careful care: on brown, dark blue, green and black toilet, droplets of water are clearly visible. And yet, it is better to install colored toilets in small bathrooms, because they visually narrow the space.
What are the advantages of color toilets:
- expressiveness. If you want to make the bathroom special, just color plumbing is the best solution;
- the ability to apply any drawing to the product (to order or choose from the assortment presented in the store). When ordering an individual drawing, pay attention to the quality of the product itself. So, the toilets made of poor -quality enamel with the addition of dye will begin to crack over time, and such a product does not look presentable anymore. If this is high -quality ceramics or earthenware, then you should not worry. The pattern is applied to the finished surface or the dye is mixed with raw materials in manufacture and a beautiful pattern is obtained;
- color toilet will create a separate cozy island in the room. Even if your bathroom is combined, then using color plumbing and decorative materials you can make a separate functional zone;
- color toilets cheer up - if accents are placed correctly and the color scheme is selected. Here it is advisable to coordinate the shade of the product in advance with all family members, so that everyone likes this color. Otherwise, even the color of the toilet can affect the mood of a person. If relatives do not share your desire to buy a raspberry toilet, then you should limit yourself to pastel colors.
As you can see, color plumbing has enough advantages, but if you also dream of an unusual toilet, but do not plan to make repairs in the bathroom, then you can make a white toilet of color. The usual technique of painting plumbing or decoupage technique is a great idea.

About the types of plumbing
Since our task is to buy a quality product, we need to find out how to choose the right toilet and what you need to pay attention to in the store when buying.
Types of toilets:
- Each product (color) is divided into several types (according to the manufacturing or application of the pigment). Those toilets that are painted during the manufacture process (pigment is added to the raw materials) do not differ in the brightness of the colors. Such toilets are pale, not bright. The only exception is the black toilet and other dark shades.
- The toilet is glazed - bright and beautiful. After manufacturing, the product is covered with a thin layer of colored enamel to get the desired shade. If you want a contrasting bright toilet, then you need to pay attention to the toilets covered with color glaze. Such a product, by the way, is durable. The toilet will always be bright and distinguished if it is correct to care for it. Glazed toilets do not like hot water and boiling water. If you do not pour boiling water into the toilet, then nothing will happen to it and it will last for many years.

Color toilet seats also look advantageous, you can even experiment and from time to time change the lid on the toilet, refreshing the interior of the bathroom:
And this is not the only thing to pay attention to when choosing a color toilet, we will briefly consider the classification of plumbing, pay attention to the toilets of various forms:
- The toilets are floor (standard and familiar to many options) and suspended. Color suspended toilets are no exception, they look more advantageous and concise, because all excess is a tank, sewer, water pipes and other communications hidden from prying eyes in the wall.
- The connection of the toilets is also different. On sale are colored toilets with direct release, as well as lower and oblique. The toilets with an oblique release remain relevant, because in most high-rise buildings and frequent residential buildings, sewer pipes are laid at an angle.
- When buying, it is also worth paying attention to the method of assembling a color toilet: you can choose a standard compact, a product without a cumulative tank - such toilets are equipped with Drukshpuler (drain without a tank) or a product with a monoblock. The latter have a significant drawback - a built -in water tank can burst and you will have to buy a new toilet.
Color toilet with a microlift:
When choosing a color toilet, a compact, it is also worth paying attention to the form of a reception of the bowl. Many buyers are very responsible for choosing a toilet, paying attention to its shape. So, some like a horizontal descent or site, and many people like the descent to be gentle.
Also, when buying a colored toilet, pay attention to its size, because the toilets can be different: large and high, medium, low and small. The choice remains for you and will depend on the size of your bathroom.

Colored tanks for the toilet look original. If you want to refresh the interior of the bathroom, just replace the white tank of the toilet with color (tone to tile):
How to choose a colored toilet
Buying a colored toilet is no easier than the standard white, the rules for choosing plumbing are the same.
What is worth paying attention to when choosing colored toilets and shells:
- you immediately saw in the store the toilet the desired color, do not rush to buy it right away: look at the product from all sides to make sure that it has no cracks, chips and other defects. You also need to carefully study the color of the product, it should be homogeneous, without divorces. If you notice that the color is not homogeneous, the product may not be of high quality;
- before you go to the store, you must determine in advance not only with the color of the toilet, but also with the shape, as well as know what type of connection you need. If you are used to using the toilet with a horizontal platform inside and do not know anything else, just think that your old toilet equipped with a platform delayed the waste of life. You may want to buy another toilet model with a direct bowl. Only be prepared for the fact that when operating, spray (when bowed) is possible. There is a third option - the most acceptable, it is a toilet with an inclined site;
- before buying a toilet, it is advisable for you to find out from the consultant information about the manufacturer and study the quality certificate;
- no need to be shy and fluently inspect the toilet - the cost of color plumbing is an order of magnitude higher than standard white, so do not be lazy and carefully study every centimeter of the product;
- and a little information about the release system or the place of connection of the toilet to the sewer pipe: before buying, you should know which system of release in your bathroom, because it is impossible to connect the toilet with another system. Universal and often encountered is Montzh in oblique (in multi -storey buildings). In the houses of "Stalinks" and "Khrushchevs", the connection is vertical, lower;
- the tank is connected in 2 ways: either from below, or water enters the side, but then you need a little more space to connect a tap hose;
- since you buy the toilet for many years, then you should also look into the tank itself: if the inside and connecting elements are made of high -quality materials, you should not worry. Cheaper products will require replacements in a few months. Tanks often break, so choose a design equipped with a button, it is more resilient. It is profitable to buy a double button tank so that it is possible to save water. Seek information about the rate of filling with water in the instructions;
- we pay attention to the seat of the toilet, it should be included. The cheap version is made of plastic. This sitting will not last long, it is better to immediately replace it with better. A great option is a seating with a microLift, in which the cover is closed independently;
- color toilet material: faience or porcelain. The first option is cheaper, but also quickly loses its original appearance: colored stains appear on the surface, in some places the earthenware turns yellow and cracks. Porcelain is more hard, the life of a colored toilet of porcelain is tens of years.
Choose the toilet is not hastily, because it will have to use it for several decades. Good luck in choosing!
