It is said that "sunken toilets" have become a new trend in the decoration industry and are becoming more and more popular among owners. However, what is a "sink toilet"? How is it different from traditional toilets? So today, the editor will share some basic knowledge about "sunken toilet", let's get it together.
What is a "sink toilet"
The so-called sunken toilet, in simple terms, is to bury the toilet's drainage pipe under the floor to make the toilet look more concise and clean.
This kind of bathroom will partially or entirely sink the bathroom structure layer away from the corresponding floor to a certain height (usually 40cm) when the main body is built, so that the horizontal drainage pipe of the bathroom can be buried in it, and then It is backfilled with lightweight materials, and the structural facet only needs to set up an opening as a drainage standpipe to pass through. The riser pipe for drainage can be set in the corner of the wall, and it is enough to cover it during decoration.
What are the advantages of sunken toilets?
1. The sinking toilet can lay the drainage pipes in the sunken ground, unlike the traditional non-sinking toilets, which need to install the pipes on the ceiling, so that the top surface is flat, eliminating the trouble of the ceiling and increasing The net height of the room.
2. The drainage pipes are arranged in the sink, and the backfill cushion layer can reduce the noise generated during drainage, and the sound insulation effect is remarkable.

3. It will not cause neighborhood disputes. If there is a problem of water seepage in the pipeline, it can be done on your own floor during maintenance.No downstairs residents will be involved.
4. The sinking type of drainage on the same floor makes the layout of the bathroom more adjustable. For example, if you want to move the toilet, you only need to look at your own mood.
What are the disadvantages of sunken toilets?
1. In terms of cost, the sinking type will be more expensive than the traditional toilet, because the sinking type toilet pipe needs to be backfilled after installation, so the cost is naturally higher.
2. The maintenance is difficult. The sinking pipes are laid under the floor tiles, and it is difficult to find out the problem at ordinary times.
Can traditional toilets be changed into sunken toilets?
No ! Whether it is a sunken toilet is determined by the developer.
Should the sinking toilet be drained twice?
recommends secondary drainage, because the sinking toilet drainage is buried under the tiles and needs to be backfilled. If the secondary drainage is not done, once water leaks, it will cause the caisson to accumulate water, which will damage the water pipe for a long time. And the ground, causing seepage and leakage, and maintenance is also very troublesome.
The secondary drainage is to use red bricks + prefabricated slabs to raise the caisson after the foundation drainage pipe is laid, and the lower ground is inclined to install the floor drain at the lowest position. In the event of a water leak in the upper overhead layer,The water can be drained to the secondary drain through the floor drain in the sink, thus avoiding long-term soaking or water leakage.
