Twyford Alcona Square Compact Wall Hung Rimfree WC Pan - Washdown - 355 x 520mm

Washdown Model

A washdown toilet uses the weight of the water and gravity to push out the toilet waste from the toilet bowl. The washdown toilet is designed with a short and wide trapway, so that waste can quickly enter the trapway using just the force of water from the tank. A washdown model includes a push-button flush and has a skirted design with a smaller water surface area and a short trapway and can easily handle heavy loads without getting clogged.

Vitreous-China Material

Vitreous china is an innovative glass-based enamel coating applied to porcelain. This glazed coating makes the base material durable, denser, and very glossy. When ceramics are coated with vitreous enamel, the resulting product is called vitreous china. This enamel is created by applying heat to powdered glass.

Horizontal Outlet

When the pan has piping at the back, inside the wall, it is called a horizontal outlet toilet or pan. As the cisterns are concealed or placed against the wall, most plumbing is hidden out of sight.

Compact Toilet

True to its name, a compact toilet has smaller dimensions and takes up less space by incorporating design changes such as a smaller tank, seat, and a round rather than an elongated bowl. Also, a toilet with a depth of under 500mm can qualify as a compact toilet. However, a compact toilet can be subjective as it depends on the size of your bathroom and what size of toilet your bathroom can accommodate.

Rimless

A rimless toilet does not have a brim at its edge, from which the water usually flows when you flush. Instead of flowing from the top, such toilets shoot water towards their edge and around it, allowing no missing spots with filth remaining after a flush. These toilets also remove any spaces for germs to hide and breed, providing a hygienic alternative for your bathroom.

Optional: Soft-Close Seat

Soft-closing seats are a new alternative to classic toilet seats. Their modern design allows them to close slowly, while their controlled manner of closing does not require you to assist them. It also shuts automatically, allowing it to come down at a pace that does not make much noise.
