The material of the suspended toilet bowl is an important criterion for assessing the quality of the product

The modern plumbing market offerssuspended toilet bowls made of plastic, steel, porcelain, cast iron, faience and other materials. It is believed that the most reliable and durable is the sanitary ware of porcelain and faience.

As for faience pendant toilets, their operating period is somewhat less: it is about 35 years.
