Rimless toilets are a new generation of toilet technology that manages to be cleaner and more hygienic than a traditional toilet while offering superior flushing performance. Where a standard toilet is built with a box rim that runs along the edge of the bowl, fitted with holes so water can spray down when you flush the toilet, rimless toilets operate more intelligently, propelling water from just the back edge of the toilet bowl so it is circulated around the bowl as it flushes, eliminating the need for the rim.
There are many benefits of rimless toilets over traditional designs. For one, this rimless flush is inherently easier to access and clean when it comes time for you to scrub the bowl yourself. They are also more efficient with their water use, as the rotational flushing action is more intelligently designed than the “dumping” flush of a traditional toilet and can accomplish more with a single flush cycle.
A More Hygienic Option
Traditionally designed toilets feature a box rim that sits around the top edge of your bowl. Water is released from numerous nozzles placed underneath this rim when you activate your toilet’s flush cycle to clean the bowl. Due to its placement, the rim itself receives very little cleaning from this water as it cleans the rest of the toilet, and the crevasse can become a breeding ground for bacteria, germs and even mould.
Due to its sleeker design, there are far fewer places on a rimless toilet for this sort of growth to take place between flushes. The lack of a crevasse under the rim also makes the bowl much simpler for a person to clean, meaning that any grime that does stick around is easier to remove.
Superior Flushing Technology
Rimless toilets use an intelligently designed direct-flushing system that cleans the whole bowl with a rotational sweep of water, rather than the inefficient hosing flow from a traditional toilet bowl. As mentioned, this makes the rimless bowl much cleaner and more hygienic than a standard toilet you may be used to, but it also has the added benefit of being more water efficient.
By more powerfully utilising the same (or even less) water than a standard toilet bowl, your rimless toilet can save you money with every flush – and potentially stop you from ever having to flush twice again.
The Affordable Option
Rimless toilet options are quickly becoming an established part of the modern toilet market, meaning that they’re no longer the niche or luxury item that they once were. Instead they’ve become more and more affordable, available at a range of price points in line with what you would expect to pay for a traditional box rim toilet.
With their more hygienic approach, ease of cleaning and much more efficient design that could help you save on your water bill, a rimless toilet may be the best choice for you and your home.
