What Is A Rimless Toilet? Everything You Need To Know
Rimless toilets are one of the hottest bathroom products today. Everyone wants one or wants to know about them. So much so that we have just published a new article answering the FAQs About Rimless Toilet. Rimless toilets have revolutionised toilet design and are gaining popularity very quickly.
As the head of purchasing at Ross’s Discount Home Centre, I couldn’t help but notice the demand for rimless toilets in Perth. So to satisfy the demand, we have added a range of rimless toilets to our offerings. Today, I will showcase our rimless toilets in a little more detail. But before that, let’s first look at what rimless toilets are and why there is so much buzz around them.
What is a rimless toilet?
A rimless toilet incorporates cutting-edge bathroom technology that originated in European design studios. The architecture of these fixtures follows minimalist principles, where manufacturers have stripped away unnecessary elements to create a more efficient system. The internal bowl construction features perfectly smoothed surfaces that extend from the water line to the top edge, eliminating traditional stepped or ridged designs. Professional plumbers categorise rimless toilets as fourth-generation bathroom fixtures, marking their place in the evolution from gravity-flush systems through to modern precision engineering.
The technology draws inspiration from industrial fluid dynamics, where engineers have mapped optimal water flow patterns to achieve maximum cleaning force with minimal water usage. Leading bathroom manufacturers invested significant research into developing precise angles and water release points that create a controlled vortex effect. This innovative approach has transformed what was once a simple necessity into an engineered solution that addresses both practical and environmental concerns.
How are rimless toilets different from standard toilets?
The primary distinction between rimless and standard toilets lies in their internal bowl design. Standard toilets contain an inward-facing rim that creates a channel around the bowl’s upper edge, while rimless models eliminate this feature entirely. The visual difference becomes apparent when you examine the bowl’s interior—rimless toilets present a smooth, continuous surface from top to bottom.
The flushing systems also differentiate these two designs. Standard toilets distribute water through small holes hidden under the rim, which release water in a downward circular pattern. Rimless toilets employ a more sophisticated direct flush system that propels water through precision-engineered outlets. These outlets create targeted water jets that spiral forcefully around the bowl, achieving superior cleaning coverage without relying on the traditional rim structure.
Manufacturers have engineered the rimless design to maintain the familiar exterior appearance of standard toilets, which explains why casual observers might not notice any difference at first glance. The innovation focuses on internal functionality rather than external aesthetics, delivering improved performance while preserving the conventional toilet profile that consumers expect.
Advantages of rimless toilets
While it may seem that removing the inside rim of a toilet bowl may not make much of a difference, the reality is that rimless toilets offer many benefits over standard toilet suites.
First of all, they are much more hygienic than standard toilets because there is no inner rim for germs to thrive. Because of this, rimless toilets are also much easier to clean and maintain as opposed to standard toilets.
Moreover, their direct flush mechanism does not cause water to splash about. This makes your entire bathroom much more hygienic. And while direct flushes are far more powerful than standard flushing mechanisms, they are also more water-efficient. You will save money and preserve the environment by using less toilet detergent in rimless toilet suites.
Rimless toilets are available in ultra-modern and stylish designs. And while they may be fairly new to the market, they are still available at attractive price points. The price of a standard rimless toilet suite is comparable to that of a mid-range standard toilet suite.
Rimless toilets are affordable, and they are suitable for almost everyone.
