In today’s globalized world, people are increasingly curious about the lifestyles of different countries and regions. Among them, the use of European toilets not only reflects local living habits, but also contains rich cultural connotations. From the type of toilet to the supporting facilities, to the usage habits and maintenance methods, they are all closely related to the unique social and cultural environment of Europe. Exploring the usage types of European toilets can give us a deep understanding of the details of European life, and also help us to examine the differences in daily life from a cross-cultural perspective, opening a new window for us to understand European social culture.
Common flushing methods-washdown flushing is the mainstream
In Europe, washdown flush toilets are a more common type. Its working principle is based on simple and efficient mechanical principles. When the user presses the flush button, the water stored in the water tank will rely on its own gravity and pass through the relatively large diameter pipe at a faster speed, directly flushing to the sewage outlet at the bottom of the toilet.The design of the water tank is crucial, and the amount of water stored and the water outlet speed directly determine the size of the impulse. The larger diameter of the sewage outlet and the reasonable slope design inside the toilet can allow the water flow to gather strong impact in a short time and quickly flush away the excrement.
This toilet has some significant characteristics. From the perspective of water conservation, washdown flush toilets have obvious advantages. Because the flushing process is direct and efficient, there is no need to consume a lot of water to form a specific water flow effect like some other types of toilets, so the amount of water each flush is relatively small. In the long run, it can save a lot of water resources for the family. In terms of flushing capacity, due to the strong impact, the washdown flush toilet can easily flush down a large volume of dirt and is not easy to cause blockage. For example, when a large ball of paper towels or other foreign objects are accidentally flushed into the toilet, the washdown flush toilet can often flush it away smoothly with strong impact.
However, it is not perfect. The noise problem is a more prominent disadvantage of the washdown flush toilet. Because the water flow directly and quickly hits the pipe during flushing, it will produce a loud noise. In a quiet environment, especially at night, this noise may cause interference to the user and the people around. In terms of splash prevention, although the design will try to reduce the splashing of water, due to the strong impact, there is still a certain possibility of splashing compared to some other types of toilets. Its anti-odor effect is also relatively weak, mainly because the water seal area of the washdown flush toilet is relatively small. If it is used improperly or cleaned in time, the odor is more likely to be emitted.
Material characteristics-wide application of ceramics
Ceramic toilet
In Europe, most toilets are made of ceramic materials. Ceramics are mainly made of inorganic substances such as clay through a series of processes such as mixing, molding, and high-temperature firing. During the production process, the surface will be glazed. This layer of glaze is like a protective film on the ceramic, giving the ceramic many excellent properties.
From the surface characteristics, the surface of ceramics is extremely smooth, and this smooth texture makes it difficult for dirt to adhere to it. In terms of antibacterial properties, ceramics also perform well. It has a high density and low water absorption rate, making it difficult for bacteria to grow inside it. At the same time, the glaze treated with special processes can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria. In some places with high requirements for sanitary conditions, such as hospitals and toilets of food processing companies, ceramic toilets are the first choice because of their antibacterial properties.
The corrosion resistance of ceramics is also very outstanding. Whether it is various cleaning agents used in daily life or long-term contact with water, ceramics can maintain stable chemical properties and are not easily corroded and damaged. This makes the service life of ceramic toilets relatively long. Generally, a ceramic toilet of qualified quality can be used for decades. Moreover, ceramics have good compressive resistance and can withstand the weight of the human body and various pressures in daily use, and are not easy to deform or crack.
In addition, ceramics have great flexibility in shaping and can meet diverse design needs. Designers can shape ceramics into various shapes according to different aesthetic and functional requirements, such as common squares, circles, and some unique shapes. The rich color and texture selection of ceramics also provides more matching possibilities for the decoration style of the bathroom. Whether it is a simple and modern decoration style or a retro European style, you can find a ceramic toilet that matches it.
Feature introduction
Bidets are more common in parts of Europe. In Chinese, they are also called bidets, lower body basins, etc., which can be used to wash the buttocks. In some European countries, people use bidets to clean themselves after defecation to keep their bodies clean. Especially in Southern Europe and Central and South America, bidets are more commonly used. In addition, the bidet has multiple uses. Due to its low height, it can be used as a multi-functional large sink. People can use it to wash mops, shoes, wash children’s faces, bathe babies, and even serve as a drinking fountain for pets.
