Today I want to write this popular science article about choosing toilets for decoration. Interestingly, I went to the toilet a few days ago and sat on a warm cushion. When it was raining hard and cold, I caught a glimpse of the lights outside the window. Nowadays, there are more and more choices of toilets on the market, intelligent and not intelligent. What's so particular about choosing a toilet? I can share with you my experience in choosing a toilet.
The first part: Several key issues to be considered in bathroom decoration.
Step 1: unavoidable budget.
This step is really important, it can save too much time to choose brands and products that meet the budget! Teach you a quick way to understand the market: look at the two extremes, the most expensive and the cheapest, and you will probably know the market. My experience is that many times the budget will exceed the budget, such as clever sales when shopping, full reduction of activities in shopping malls, and seeing more favorite goods. Therefore, we should also leave some buffers in advance and be prepared to exceed some budgets. (For example, our guard's toilet decided to buy Roca Kumar, which exceeded the budget, but soon decided to move back home. I'll talk about it in detail later. )
Step 2: Do you need a wall row?
This point must be determined when designing the decoration scheme, because it involves hardware conditions such as pipeline pit spacing.
Wall row has two advantages:
It's very beautiful, and it's also a popular trend now.
Can I store things above the toilet?
Of course, we also wanted to make wall rows at first, including the renderings of the main guard. ?
But in the actual construction process, I found that the actual situation is not allowed. To tell you the truth, I was very sad and depressed at first. Fortunately, Roca Kumar, who was finally selected as an integrated toilet, is really worth the money, which completely makes up for my regret that I can't be a wall row! Therefore, the decoration is a blessing in disguise, and there is no need to be too entangled if you can't do the wall row. Many things pay attention to fate!
Step 3: Do you want to buy a smart toilet directly?
You can choose to bring your own toilet seat, or you can add it later (not many people come back from Japan with toilet seats). There are two toilets in my home, and the temporary utilization rate of the second bathroom is very low. Only my parents occasionally use it when they come home to live and play with friends on weekends. Even if I have a baby in the future, anyway, I don't think children need to be so delicate, so Erwei doesn't need to have intelligent functions, so I chose an ordinary toilet.
As for the main defender, we made up our minds from the beginning to make it comfortable! Nowadays, there are many choices of smart toilets and toilet lids, and the functions are endless, so you need to figure out which functions you need. Automatic heating pad is necessary. In addition, our main bathroom is connected with the bedroom, which requires higher deodorization. But other functions, such as automatic flipping and playing music, I don't think it's very intimate. Of course, this is also a matter of opinion.
As for the flushing function, it is basically a self-contained smart toilet cover, which is not used much in daily life. ?
My suggestion: If you are in the renovation period, you can buy an integrated smart toilet directly and get it done in one step, which saves the trouble of re-sizing and seat selection later. If you choose a separate toilet first, then the smart toilet cover must also be equipped with one. Don't treat yourself badly. But if there is no socket next to your toilet, no one can save you.
At the end of the first part, several common terms when buying toilets were popularized:
1. conjoined or split?
I'll show you a toilet in the second bathroom of my house, two styles under Roca Dico series, and you can clearly see the difference (left conjoined and right split, my house is conjoined on the left).
Difference:
The conjoined casting is completed in one step, and the split casting is separated, so the conjoined casting is more expensive.
There is a gap between the split water tank and the base, which is easy to have dirt after a long time. ?
2. Siphon or straight?
The main difference is the way of launching. See the difference clearly in a picture:?
Both have their own advantages:
Siphon: less smell+light flushing sound.
Straight: greater impulse+relative water saving.
Generally speaking, the price of siphon is slightly higher than that of straight flush.
We didn't focus on these two items because I thought it was mainly related to the budget, not the decisive factor that affected which one I bought.
The second part: the process of brand selection
In those years when the decoration was difficult, I basically went to various building materials and home improvement shopping malls every weekend. I don't know about other cities. In Shanghai, I recommend you to go to Yishan Road, where everything is available, there are not many people and the shopping environment is not bad. Let's count with our fingers, we should have been there more than a dozen times before and after ... When choosing the toilet, we first visited many brands, such as Kohler, Rocca, TOTO, Duravit and Geboli.
Why did you finally choose Rocca? Actually, I just bought their inspira Impera washbasin, and I took a fancy to it long ago. I like minimalist geometry very much:
Roca's patented thin pottery technology can make the whole basin only 5mm thick, which is 40% lighter than the general basin, but it has strong compression resistance. The bottom leakage of pure white glaze is very special, the glaze feels great and it is easy to clean!
The second defender wanted to go on stage, which was perfect. ?
You can look at the toilet when you buy a basin. At this time, fate came, and you fell in love with KHROMA Kumar's design at first sight. The main idea of this series is to design for the senses, which is in line with our master's minimalist marble style. ?
Specifically, it focuses on intelligent deodorization, including D-Rim innovative deodorization system, and has a rich and colorful appearance, such as crimson, blue, elegant gold and other colors. The colors are quite bright and bold, and the contrast color brings a strong fashion avant-garde atmosphere. This is very suitable for people who need color in the bathroom. Our family insists on pure white, which matches the style of the bathroom at home.
Pure white and moist soft material, excellent sitting feeling, good daily cleanliness, strong impulse and no pollution, and the versatile marble and brass elements in the bathroom at home, the works of Audi designers really won't disappoint people!
As soon as I turned around, I saw a square flute, which was very retro. The toilet shape matches the second-place grove style just right. ?
You know, the more you buy in the store, the better the price. When we bought three pieces together, the sale gave her the lowest price within her ability, and she also gave us a lot of things (roca's bath towel is good and absorbent, and she has been using it)?
To tell the truth, the price of Kumar actually exceeded our budget (the original budget was only 10 thousand yuan) In fact, the budget of our entire main defender is extremely high, but after using it, I feel that the choice at that time was completely correct and worth it!
The third part: the sense of specific use
Having said that, what's the actual experience of staying for half a year? Let me start with Kumar. Several feelings:
1. Is the deodorizing function really powerful?
Now many people use aromatherapy at home, and I am no exception, but sometimes it is embarrassing that the smell of the bathroom is mixed with aromatherapy, which makes people inexplicably uncomfortable ... As mentioned above, my main guard is directly connected with the bedroom, which is particularly important, but this will not happen in our main guard at all, and Kumar's deodorization function is really satisfactory.
2. On the face value, not much to say, look at the picture.
When there is no heating in Shanghai in winter, I don't worry at all, and I don't need a toilet seat. The cushion is invincible in heating and easy to use. In addition, automatic flushing causes me to go to work or go to the toilet outside, and I will always say "flush" in case I forget. ...
As mentioned above, Erwei's toilet is not integrated, but it is also very satisfactory, because our Erwei takes a small and fresh style, and I want to pursue the feeling of fog in the forest.
This Dicos series toilet is very small, with some edges and corners in all directions, which is a bit retro, which I like. Save space, easy to use, high value, completely meet my expected needs.
Concluding remarks?
A question that many people will be confused when decorating: which budgets can be saved and which can never be saved? In my opinion, the key is to recall your daily life. What do you spend a long time doing every day? Anyway, as a blogger with small white collar and amateur beauty, the bathroom and dressing room are really important to me, and I have to stir here for half a day every day. So, although our budget in the bathroom (especially the main bathroom) actually exceeded a lot, it proved to be very worthwhile. Everyone is the same. If you measure the proportion of each object in your life, your money can be spent on the cutting edge.
