TOP 12: the best toilet manufacturers

It’s hard to imagine a modern bathroom or toilet without toilet bowl, since it is one of the most important parts of home plumbing. Despite the fact that they were invented and produced more than a century ago, mass popularity came to them only in the twenties of the last century. However, over the years the toilets have not undergone tremendous changes in terms of construction and design, and offer users more or less similar ergonomic features.

Of course, some of the available models may be of higher quality or even some advanced functionality, but for most this may not be too interesting. But in vain. Quality, when choosing any product, and especially plumbing, plays a significant role, and therefore it is worth paying attention to the manufacturer. It is clear that products from well-known brands will always be distinguished by high priorities, quality, materials and often a price tag. But knowing market leaders in one category or another will never be superfluous, as certain guidelines for choosing will appear. That is why today we want to draw your attention to the author’s selection of the best manufacturers of toilets on the domestic market.

Gustavsberg

For those of you who value reliability more than anything else in any category of products, we want to advise you to turn your attention to another Swedish manufacturer Gustavsberg, since this is precisely what distinguishes this manufacturer from the background of most competitors. But how could it be otherwise if all, without exception, the toilet bowls of this brand are made of porcelain? It was with its production that the company's path began in 1825, and this despite the fact that the history of the company goes even further to the middle of the 17th century. And yet, it is from the first decades of the 19th century that the brand begins to produce practical products for bathrooms, mainly made in the Scandinavian style. Of course, today their design has undergone changes in the direction of modern solutions, but the reliability has remained unchanged, which also emphasizes the 25-year warranty.

VitrA

The company is no less popular manufacturer of plumbing and toilet bowls, in particular among middle-class representatives in the Russian market. VitrA. This Turkish brand today produces high-quality sanitary ware and accessories, which allowed it to become part of a large holding. And this is contrary to the fact that the history of the company begins in the difficult years of World War II, namely in 1942. Could those 8 people who were then engaged in the manufacture of scarce faience products imagine how their small workshop in one of the districts of Istanbul would become a large and popular company? Hardly. And yet, it happened. On the open spaces of the domestic market, their products are in great demand, which was partially influenced by the opening of two plants in Russia. They even have a separate line plumbing for people with disabilities.

The emphasis on strength and durability complements the overall picture. This was extremely positively influenced by the successful combination of sanitary porcelain with clay, quartz and other raw materials.
