The Truth Behind One Piece and Two Piece Toilets Why European Toilets are the Best Option

OrtonBaths, a leading manufacturer of bathroom fixtures, has been in the business of selling toilets for years. They have a wide range of products that cater to every need and budget, from basic models to high-end designs. One of the most debated topics when it comes to toilets is whether a one-piece or two-piece design is better. In this blog post, we will discuss the pros and cons of each design and why European toilets are the best option.

One Piece Toilets

One-piece toilets are made from a single piece of ceramic or porcelain. They have a sleek and modern look, and because they have no crevices, they are easier to clean than two-piece toilets. One Piece Toilet also take up less space, which is a great advantage in small bathrooms. However, one-piece toilets tend to be more expensive than two-piece toilets.

Two Piece Toilets

Two-piece toilets consist of a separate bowl and tank that are joined together during installation. They are the most common type of toilet in the United States and are available in a wide range of styles and prices. Two Piece Toilet are easier to install than one-piece toilets because the bowl and tank are separate. They are also cheaper than one-piece toilets. However, the seam between the bowl and tank can be a haven for bacteria and dirt, making them harder to clean.

European Toilets

European toilets, also known as wall-hung toilets, are a popular choice in Europe and are gaining popularity in the United States. They are designed to be mounted on the wall, which means that the bowl and tank are not on the floor. This design gives the bathroom a modern and sleek look, and because the bowl is suspended above the floor, it is easier to clean. European Toilets also take up less space, making them an ideal choice for small bathrooms. However, they tend to be more expensive than two-piece toilets, and installation can be more complicated.

Deception in the Toilet Industry

The toilet industry is not immune to deception. Companies often make false claims about the quality and durability of their products to attract customers. For example, some companies claim that their toilets are made from high-quality materials when in reality, they are made from cheaper materials. Others claim that their toilets are more efficient than others when in reality, they are not.

Conclusion

When it comes to choosing a toilet, there are several factors to consider, including the design, price, and efficiency. One-piece toilets are sleek and easy to clean, but they tend to be more expensive. Two-piece toilets are cheaper but harder to clean. European toilets are a great option for those who want a modern look and easy cleaning, but they tend to be more expensive and complicated to install.

Advantages of Rimless Toilets Over Traditional Toilet Designs

Rimless toilet design has fast become the norm in new toilets. With benefits including easier cleaning, added hygiene and overall superior flushing, this game changing toilet feature will make a huge difference in your new bathroom.

Read on to discover what rimless design is and the five advantages that come with rimless toilet technology.

What’s the difference between a traditional toilet and a rimless toilet?

Traditional toilets have a rim around the inner pan of the toilet where when you flush, the water distributes from underneath the toilet rim to dispose of waste.

Rimless toilets on the other hand, flush water around the whole pan with a superior flushing mechanism that removes the need for a rim altogether.

The five advantages of rimless toilets

#1: Hygiene

Hard-to-reach areas of a traditional toilet pan are breeding grounds for germs to hide.

#2: Easier cleaning

We know that as much as you love your new bathroom, cleaning the toilet is never an enjoyable task. All the areas are easily accessible so you can clean and quickly and easily.

#3 Better Flushing System

Rimless toilets use a direct flushing system which distributes water around the pan more effectively. This means that each flush is more efficient. Less litres of water required while also providing a powerful flush. It helps you to save water or use water efficiently, reducing the bills over time.

#4 Aesthetically Pleasing Design

The contemporary and modern look is the wish of everyone. To make it possible, you need a toilet that is contemporary, looks good and fits with modern design attics. Among them, a toilet is also important. A rimless close coupled toilet has better in comparison to traditional toilets. So, it can easily fit with your aesthetics.

The “secret” of Porcelain Toilets

Why similar appearance but different price ? Why reliable supplier is so important? A lot of secret behind the toilet you see, that Orton will help you reveal.

Why good-quality toilet cannot be cheap?

  • Better Grinding Machine& Longer Grinding time

The finer powder, the higher density. Better Stain/wear resistance

  • Modern equipment& Automatic production to ensure the quality

Compared with Manual operation, Machine assure better accuracy & consistency in quality

  • Better Material

Good toilet should be composed of high-quality Gaolin Clay + powered quartz, which is of higher refractoriness and plasticity

  • High-Pressure casting machine

Expensive but More efficient and make the toilet body more compact & durable

  • High-crystal nano self-cleaning glaze &uses a special small-caliber spray gun to make the glazing layer more light and uniform

Glazing is a very crucial part of the toilet production process. The glazing layer affect the functions of anti-seepage, easy cleaning, sterilization and anti-pollution.

  • Kiln temperature controlled by computer instead of traditional manual control

The temperature in the kiln under traditional manual control is only about 1000 °C and the temperature difference in the kiln is huge. Therefore, the quality produced is unstable even they are from same batch. For imported computer controlled high temperature kiln, the temperature in the kiln is as high as 1260 °C, the temperature difference at any point in the kiln is less than 5 °C. The cost is higher, but the quality of the produced products is much more stable.

  • Firing time

The Firing time of the good toilet is particularly long  , which ensure that the toilet is completely porcelainized, as dense as a porcelain bowl, with high hardness and wear resistance!

  • More strict quality inspection

–Good-quality toilet has passed machine inspection and manual inspection. Strictly check the size, specifications and intensity of flushing. The national standards are the same, but the internal control standards of each brand are different. The test include Water Leaking Test, flush test, Water consumption test ,Surface wash test ,Tightness/Vacuum test ,Assemble test, whether the glaze is smooth etc.

  • Longer lifespan Flushing System

Good quality toilet are normally equipped with branded flushing system ,such as Geberit, R&T, WDI etc, which works more than 10 years, even 20 years.

  • UF Seat cover

UF is harder, more anti-scratch, more durable than PP material.

Why some toilets can be very cheap?

  • Less material & equipment invest
  • More defects are allowed (Less strict standard)
  • Less energy consumption during production by shorting the firing time
  • Some cracked toilets may be repaired for sell. Hard to tell by appearance, but after being used for a period of time, the repaired part will turn yellow and hold some dirty. Especially, If the repaired crack place is in the load-bearing part of the toilet, the toilet may crush during using, which is very dangerous
  • Cheap flushing system from small factory without guarantee

How to choose toilet?

  • The appearance/glaze should be smooth and glossy
  • Check the weight of the tank cover. The heavier, the better. Because it means higher density
  • One drain hole is preferred, because it is of better performance in flushing
  • Large-diameter sewage outlet with glazing on the inner surface will not hang dirty easily and it will be helpful in preventing blockage.
  • UF seat cover is better than PP
  • Flushing system should be good quality. And the size should be common, which will be easier to be replaced if any problem happen
  • Check if it’s repaired toilet (Scratch it with a blade in case any rough part when touch. If there is some white gummy stuff, the toilet may be repaired from some defected one.)
  • Surface wash test: Apply the oily paint to the inner wall of the toilet for two hours, then wash the glaze with water.
  • Flush test

Difference between One piece Toilets Vs Two piece Toilets

First thing first , let me explain what is one piece toilet and what is two piece toilet. The main functionality of both the toilet are flush out the waste from human body.

A water closet consist of three parts, they are bowl , pedestal and a tank. Pedestal of the toilet is to give the required height for the toilet. Bowl in the toilet is designed to collect the waste and flush out the waste to the drain pipe line. Tank is to store the water and provide required pressure to flush out the waste from toilet.

If the toilet and tank is fused together without any joints then the toilet is known as one piece toilet. It is also known as single piece toilet.

If the toilet and tank are separate and joined using fittings then it is known as two piece toilet. it is also called as coupled toilets.

Find ten types of toilets here.
Now let’s dive into the comparison..

 

When we buy anything price will be considered a major point. One piece toilets will be much higher price than the two piece toilet. Because of the Production difficulties to produce an one piece is much higher than producing a two piece toilet. so the cost of one piece toilet is double than a two piece toilet. The winner is Two piece toilet.

Design availability:

Normally both the toilets are available in similar designs. As you can see in the below two models of toilets, design of the toilet are same but you can get single piece or coupled closet, that is your choice. So design wise both are same.

Aesthetic Look:

When you compare between coupled closet and single piece toilet based on look, then definitely one piece toilet is a clear winner as the product made with out any joint or gap between tank and body.

Weight:

One piece toilets are designed to with hold the ceramic tank during firing cycle in production cycle so in design itself the products are higher in weight. Normally the weight of a single piece toilet is around 40 Kgs(88 Pounds). A two piece toilet weight is around 25Kgs (55 Pounds). so with solid mass the winner is one piece toilet when comparing weight.

Mounting Options:

As we seen before the weight of a one piece toilet is higher when comparing to a two piece toilet, because of the more weight one piece can’t be hanged in wall. So for coupled closets you can get wall mount and floor mount models, but for one piece only floor models will be available. So if you are looking for a wall hung model then you have to go for two piece toilet.

Size:

The size difference between one piece toilets and two piece toilets are not much as both are nearly same in size. But if you look at transportation option then two piece can be easier because you can get toilet and tank separately. Height of the both toilets are around 400 MM (15.7 Inch).

Functionality:

Functionality of the both toilets are not depend upon the toilet model. It depends upon flushing mechanism used  in the toilet and design of the toilet. So one piece and two piece toilet are getting equal points in this comparison.

Installation:

About installation we can look in two views,

1. One is, if you Look at installation of toilet and fittings then one piece is much easier to install compared to two piece toilet because the toilet and tank are already connected so no need of any mechanism to connect. Two piece toilet fitting is not much easier as one piece toilet because tank and toilet fitting need to be done carefully to avoid water leakage and proper flush functioning.

2. Second one is moving a one piece is much difficult when compared to two piece because of the very high weight. But moving a two piece toilet is easier because toilet and tank can be moved separately.

Maintenance:

Due to less fittings in one piece toilet the maintenance is very less. In two piece toilet problem may arise in tank and toilet joint areas.

Cleaning is comparably easy in one piece toilet because of the no joint and no gap design. but cleaning has to be taken care in two piece toilet & tank joint areas.

Other Points:

(i) Glaze color are depends upon the toilet manufacturer, normally one piece and two piece toilets are available in white and ivory color. If you are looking for double color and different colors you have to look for china made toilets.

(ii) Both the toilets you can get seat cover as soft close seat cover as well as hard close seat cover.

(iii) Both the toilets can be available in ‘P’ Trap and ‘S’ Trap.
Conclusion:
When comparing difference between the one piece toilet and two piece toilet more points favors to the one piece toilet. So if you are OK to spend little more money then definitely go for one piece toilet.
