The toilet staggers, how to strengthen: simple effective methods. Four ways to install a toilet Install a toilet without drilling the floor

Today, there are several basic methods of fastening that are used. various types toilets. Their difference lies in the fasteners, the base, or the material used to create the floor surface in the toilet. In addition, the time spent on work will differ significantly. Let's talk about the options for fixing the toilet bowl and the points that you should pay closer attention to.

Fixing to the floor surface

Among modern species fasteners for the toilet bowl, the main place belongs to the fastening to the floor surface:

• dowels;
• through the adhesive composition;
• through taffeta.

Before purchasing, you need to decide how you intend to attach the toilet to the floor surface. Let's consider methods.

dowel

This option is considered one of the most popular. The basis for such fasteners is a floor made of concrete. In addition, the floor surface can be decorated with ceramics.

How to mount? Before installation, it is important to make sure that the connecting link located between the sewer pipes and the toilet makes it possible to work on the required place. When using corrugations there will be no problems.

If applicable right size knee, then you need to put it in working condition in advance, and, if necessary, cut off the excess, adjusting the appropriate dimensions. A similar adjustment is carried out with any type of fastening work.

During the purchase process, make sure that bolts are included in your toilet fixing kit. Otherwise, you should buy a set yourself.

For mounting on a tiled floor surface, the toilet bowl is installed in the appropriate position, marking the places for the holes. The field of this eliminates the toilet bowl and drill holes of the required size, where dowels should be inserted, a toilet bowl is installed on top, which is attached to the floor surface by means of bolts.

Some professionals recommend using a rubber gasket between the toilet and tiles. It will become a damper to ensure a secure fit to the toilet tile and veil the gaps. This gasket should be cut according to the size of the mounting surface.

To eliminate the gaps, a colorless sealant is also used, as in the photo of the toilet bowl attachment below.

Installing a toilet bowl with special glue

If drilling of the floor surface is unacceptable, then the best option toilet mounts will become adhesive. This fastening method is most suitable for those who want to strengthen the toilet so that it does not loosen.

Installation begins with a thorough cleaning of the floor surface and the toilet base from dirt, grease, which prevent high-quality gluing. Then the toilet is equipped in place, and circled according to the future form.

After all this, dusting is removed from all surfaces to be glued, they are also degreased with a solution of acetone or a solvent. Glue is applied along the line formed on the floor surface, the thickness of which should be up to 4 mm. It is better to purchase a ready-made adhesive composition.

On top of the applied composition, it is necessary to install a toilet bowl purchased in advance, while combining its release with a sewer pipe. After that, the toilet should be well pressed, leveled and left until the glue hardens for 15 hours. As time passes, the required connections are established.

Installing with taffeta

If the toilet does not have a fixture for wall hung toilet, but at the same time, the floor surface is made of solid wood, while the boards have a minimum thickness, then you should consider attaching the toilet bowl. A similar issue can be solved by fastening with taffeta.

This method provides for the arrangement of a void in the floor surface, which corresponds to the shape of the toilet bowl with the required recess. It is filled with a solution prepared from cement.

Taffeta is made from hardwoods. The required shape is cut out of a board of a certain thickness, then processed with drying oil. At the bottom of this form, anchors are stuffed in the order of chess placement.

We are preparing a mass of concrete on crushed stone so that concrete is obtained that does not crack at the maximum thickness of the poured layer, but will be much more mobile, which is important for high-quality deepening.

After that, prepared taffeta is immersed in the mass, which falls to the appropriate level with the floor surface. The excess remaining from the solution must be spread in different directions. The remaining solution should solidify and then you can install the toilet bowl. It is fastened by means of a certain length of bolts to secure the toilet bowl.

It is important to place special rubber gaskets under the screw heads. It is necessary to lubricate the bolts with grease or special grease so that they can be unscrewed without hindrance.

Photo of types of fasteners for the toilet

Finishing the toilet with tiles almost always occurs in the absence of plumbing units - a toilet bowl and accessories. This is due to the fact that it is much more difficult to lay the tiles “round” later. Difficulties will also arise when laying ceramics on the walls - the toilet will simply interfere. Therefore, the installation of "amenities" is planned after the completion of all finishing works. There are several ways to install plumbing.

Preliminary preparation for installation

The work comes down to marking the place for the toilet itself, removing the sewer drain and pipes with cold water. The ends of the drainage and filling system must protrude from the surface by at least 15 cm, otherwise a high-quality connection will not work and work will also have to be done to build up the pipes. To prevent this from happening, a sufficient distance is taken care of at the stage of rough alignment of the walls and floor.

Tools and materials

In addition to the toilet, you will need:

1. Corrugated drain pipe.
2. Water hose for cold water and ball valve to the pipeline.
3. Tape-fum or tow.
4. sealant or epoxy resin. For decorative embedding - the remains of grout from the tile.
5. Drill with drills for ceramics and concrete.
6. Wrench.
7. Screwdrivers.
8. Kern.
9. Pencil, chalk.
10. Spatula, cleaning products.

Fasteners, as a rule, are included in the toilet bowl package. If this is not provided, anchor bolts are purchased in accordance with the diameters of the holes. It is important to purchase them in an anti-corrosion design - leaks or condensation in the toilet are inevitable, which will certainly respond with rust.

Method of fixing the toilet bowl to the tile No. 1

Least costly in terms of effort. Suitable for mounting a toilet bowl with "ears" - the lower parts with drilled technological holes for fastening. The algorithm is the following:

• The toilet is installed in the desired location. It is important to estimate the distance of the drain hole to sewer pipe in order to stretch the corrugation without effort. The contours of the pedestal are outlined with chalk and the centers of the holes are marked with a pencil, setting it strictly perpendicular to the floor. Otherwise, there is a risk of moving the plumbing while tightening the bolts.
• At the marked points, the tile coating is knocked down with a core. So, the drill will not slip off the mark during operation. To do the job carefully, it is recommended to moisten the place for stuffing.
• Drill holes for the bolts and try on the toilet in place. If everything suits, the plumbing is removed and a sealant or resin is applied along the contour of the chalk line. So, it is possible to avoid moisture under the toilet bowl in the future. All holes for fasteners are filled with sealant to seal the fasteners and waterproof the concrete.
• Install the toilet along the contour and begin to tighten the bolts. They act evenly so as not to move the plumbing. The sealant squeezed out under the weight is immediately cleaned with a spatula. After installation, the sealant strip is decorated with grout.

It remains to mount the components - corrugation, tank - and connect the entire structure to the cold water pipeline.

Method of fixing the toilet bowl to the tile No. 2

Installation of a toilet bowl without protruding elements is distinguished by the aesthetics of the result. It is somewhat more complicated and it is impossible to do the work correctly without an exact algorithm. So:

• A distinctive feature of the design will be the drain holes of the sewer system as close as possible to the plumbing. To do this, first carry out a set of works with pipes. It is advisable to do this before finishing the bathroom with tiles.
• Further, similarly to the first method, the contour of the base is outlined and marks are set for fasteners.
• Part of the toilet - a hidden mount - is installed on the floor. It is screwed to the floor with bolts, the holes for which are pre-drilled. The installation is rigid, it is impossible to allow displacement, therefore, the fasteners are wrapped in turn, constantly monitoring the contours.
• Then, the toilet is inserted into the lower part and secured through the side factory holes. You should not be zealous - there will be an adjustment during the installation of the sewer.

After the design is fully assembled and satisfies in operation, the fixing bolts are closed with decorative plugs and the toilet bowl takes the form of solid ceramics. Installation is simple, but requires care.

Way of fastening of a toilet bowl No. 3

In the event that the toilet has a heated floor with water or electrical system, drilling holes for fasteners cannot be done - there is a risk of violating the integrity of the waterproofing or wire. In this case, fastening occurs using adhesive mixtures- resin, liquid nails, silicones with additives. How to do it right:

• The outline of the plumbing base is outlined.
• Rough sandpaper or a narrow special diamond wheel is removed upper layer tiles to create a rough surface. This will provide better adhesion to the pedestal. Similar work is carried out with the toilet.
• A layer of fixing composition is placed thick, at a distance of 2-3 mm from the outlined contour. This is necessary in order for the bulk to remain inside. Extrusions are removed immediately, otherwise they can only be disposed of together with ceramic tiles. The joints between the floor and the edge of the base are rubbed with a decorative composition.

That's actually all the processes. They are inaccessible to amateurs, especially if the tile is expensive, it is better to outsource the work to professionals who give a guarantee for their own installation. If, nevertheless, it is decided to do it on your own, then training on a piece of tile is necessary.

The procedure for attaching components to the toilet

First, a corrugation is mounted to the outlet and to the sewer riser. You should not skimp on the quality when buying - it ensures the tightness of the drain and the prevention of unpleasant amber in the room. Then, a tank is installed on the toilet bowl using the bolts included in the kit. Next, the installation of the plumbing structure to the water supply is carried out. Only in this way will proper operation be ensured.

Installing a toilet on a tiled floor: video

To help home master offered video material with detailed process do-it-yourself toilet installation. We hope the instructions are helpful.

For high-quality finishing of the bathroom or toilet room, it is necessary to dismantle all foreign elements that interfere with the finish. It should be understood that the dismantling of plumbing fixtures is required not only on the basis of convenience, but also in order to preserve their integrity. After finishing repair work the question arises: how to install a toilet on a tile?

Getting ready to install a toilet

Installation of a toilet ceramic tiles produced by several methods. But for any of them, you will need the same installation tools and materials. To successfully complete the installation procedure, you must also have some tools available:

• pencil - used for marking;
• screwdriver - it is desirable to have a set of screwdrivers;
• rubber;
• a hammer;
• special drills of two types: designed for drilling glass and concrete;
• you also need a tool for drilling - simple or heaped - it does not matter;
• center punch - a tool that marks holes for a drill;
• wrench.

If you have the necessary tools, then there is little left to do - materials:

• naturally, the installation object itself is needed - a toilet bowl;
• means connecting the sanitary ware with sewerage and water supply systems:
  • corrugated or fan pipe;
  • flexible hose or copper tube;
  • tap for opening / closing the water supply;
• any sealant to ensure the tightness of threaded joints;
• sealant;
• dowel.

Installation of a toilet bowl on a tile can be done by a hidden method, or open. The difference is in the placement of the fasteners: inside the base and outside, respectively.

How to fix the toilet with an open method?

First of all, it is necessary to mark with a pencil the location of the future location of the toilet bowl. How to do it? We “try on” the toilet bowl to the intended place, then mark the attachment points with a simple pencil, and also circle the base of the toilet bowl. What errors can be made when working with a pencil? Marking offset will affect the holes you actually made, which threatens to mismatch with the mounting sinuses.

The next step is to remove the toilet from the working plane for a few minutes and drill holes according to the marks you made.

We will install the toilet on the tile a little later, and now we will take a center punch in our hands, with which we will scrape off a little tile glaze at the fastener mark.

Note!

If this is not done, then the drill will slide on the tile, which will damage the flooring.

Next, a glass drill should appear in our hands, which can easily overcome a fairly massive ceramic tile, though not without the help of a puncher or drill. After the resistance of the tile has been suppressed, our drill will rest against a structure that is insurmountable for it - concrete. This is where a drill designed for concrete comes into play, which needs to drill a hole for the entire length of the purchased dowel.

After cleaning the hole from foreign objects, pour sealant into it, which plays the role of insulation from water, and insert it.

So it's time to fix the toilet to the tile, but before that, go through the pencil marks with sealant. What is it for? Sealant is an excellent barrier to moisture accumulation. Then we install the toilet bowl and fix it with fasteners.

Drill tiles carefully

Installation of a toilet bowl with a closed method

Before starting the toilet installation procedure, it is necessary to make outlets that will lead to the sewer, as well as from the water supply. Position the holes as close as possible to the plumbing fixture to be installed.

All actions are similar to the previous method. All the difference lies in the secrecy of the fasteners. Here they will not be conspicuous. We string the toilet on the fasteners and fix it with bolts through the side holes.

The decision on how to fix the toilet to the tile is up to you. But no matter which method you choose, experts advise not to overtighten the bolts, as adjustment may be required when connecting to sewer and plumbing systems.

All excess sealant that has come out is carefully scraped off with a spatula.

The toilet has a "warm floor". What to do?

Today, the "warm floor" system is quite common, not only in toilets and bathrooms, but throughout the house. As you could already understand, if such a system exists, then it is impossible to drill tiles. Why? Because heating system will be damaged and will no longer function.

But do not despair - there is a way out. Since you can't drill, you'll have to glue. Only a couple of questions remain: what and how?

Regardless of the adhesive material, toilet and tile processing is required sandpaper. With light movements of the hand, we give a slight roughness to the lower plane of the plumbing element and the tile. This is a mandatory action, since when they are performed, the best contact of the floor with the toilet is observed.

As an adhesive material, you can use epoxy resin, silicone glue or liquid nails.

Mounting hole should be small.

Adjustment of water supply

Connection to the water supply is carried out in two ways: closed and open.

The closed method is also more aesthetic than the open method. In order to connect the toilet to the water supply, we need a flexible hose or copper tube.

Note!

The copper pipe usually comes with the toilet, but it is rigid, which makes it impossible to change position.

But the flexible hose is flexible for that - you can change the position and not greatly depend on the position of the device.

The water pipe requires special concentration of your attention. If the pipe thread is internal, you will need to provide the system with an additional adapter, which should be isolated from the seal to prevent leakage.

The final step is to check for leaks on all fronts. By opening the water tap, waiting until water is drawn into the barrel, and by flushing, you can find places through which water seeps. If there is no leak, then you can tighten the bolts that secure the toilet to the tile until it stops.

Give access to the sewer

When the installation of the toilet bowl on the tile is completed, the stage begins to give life to the device - connection to the sewer and water systems. After all, without them, the toilet bowl cannot perform its functions.

To connect the toilet to the sewer, we need a corrugation. The corrugation is good because it allows you to change the distance of the toilet bowl from the outlet, as well as change the angle of inclination. Inside it is a rubberized membrane that fits snugly, both to the outlet of the toilet and the outlet of the sewer. Carefully connect the toilet to the sewer using.

After the manipulations, you can proceed with the installation, which in turn will be connected to the water supply. Use silicone or plastic washers to keep the bolts from coming into contact with the faience of the toilet.

The process of installing plumbing equipment must be carried out, adhering to certain rules. Not everyone is ready to decide on its installation without the help of a specialist. But, if we talk about fixing the toilet to the floor, then this task is also able to be completed by a beginner who is not familiar with either the plumbing device or the rules for its installation.

Ways to install toilets

There are three main ways to install a toilet bowl, we will consider them in order. But whichever one you choose, you should remember that all installation work start with the assembly of the construction of the drain tank. In order for all the details to be in place, and you do not mix anything up, you will need our instructions. After the device is assembled, it can be mounted on the chosen place. Another important point– make sure that all connections for water supply and for its removal are ready before installation.

In order to make a choice between all methods, you should consider the material from which the floor in the toilet is made. Not all surfaces can use the same type of attachment.

Dowel fastening

This is the most practical way to secure the toilet to the floor surface. You do not need to spend a lot of effort and time to complete the installation. This method is good to use when the floor is absolutely smooth and even and it is absolutely impossible to apply if there are at least some irregularities and differences in the floor level. In this case, flushing problems may occur.

It is best to fasten light dowels compact devices, in this case you will definitely avoid problems due to the unreliability of the fixation. Masters recommend placing a gasket under the base of the device, and only then carry out installation. If you don't have a ready-made gasket, make one from a piece of old, discarded linoleum or rubber. In order to get a gasket of the desired size and shape, you need to put a toilet bowl on linoleum or rubber and circle it with a marker. Then just cut along the contour with a knife.

Usually, a kit is sold in a plumbing store along with the product itself, it includes dowels or fasteners specifically designed for plumbing fixtures.

So, the installation process itself is as follows:

1. First, markup is done. To do this, in the place where the device will be located, put the toilet bowl and circle its base. Then it is removed and the sealant is smeared with a thin layer. A pre-prepared substrate is attached to this place.
2. Further, holes for fasteners are made in the appropriate places. Try to make these holes slightly larger than the diameter of the dowels. This will make installation easier.
3. Now it's time to hammer in the dowels and install the toilet itself. It is simply screwed into place.

If you need to slightly raise the device by a few centimeters, then use a piece of board. A stand is made from it, repeating the contour of the base of the toilet bowl. The stand is placed on the floor and the substrate is placed on top. All are glued together with sealant and dowels are inserted into the holes made directly in the stand and gasket.

Do not overtighten the fasteners, otherwise you can damage the plumbing, or rather its ceramic surface. After the device is securely fixed in place, you can connect it to communication systems.

Fastening with glue

This method is the easiest to do it yourself, but it will take a lot of time. The fact is that the epoxy resin on which plumbing is installed hardens for a very long time, more than 12 hours. This type of fastener is also best used if your bathroom floor is flat. Usually used for mounting plumbing device on the tile.

Let's take a closer look at how to glue on epoxy resin:

To do this, take the following components:

• Resin;
• Cement;
• Solvent or plasticizer;
• Hardener.

All this must be taken in a certain proportion. Resins - 100 parts, cement - 200, solvent - 20, hardener - 35. The components are combined in the following sequence - first the resin is heated to 54 degrees. A solvent, a hardener, and only then cement are poured into it. During the cooking process, the mass is constantly stirred so that it is homogeneous.

The resulting resin is used for an hour and a half. It is applied to the base of the toilet with a layer of 0.5 cm and put it in place. The pipes align and press the device to the floor. Now you need to let it stand for at least 12 hours, more is better. Only after this time has elapsed can the toilet be touched, connected to systems, and so on.

Taffeta fastening

This method is usually used if the floor in the bathroom is wooden. Taffeta is a substrate made of wood about 3 cm thick, plumbing fixtures are attached to it. Since the bathroom is a room with high humidity, then wooden stand must be treated with drying oil.

Taffeta is mounted using anchors. Usually they are driven in in a checkerboard pattern so that they protrude a couple of centimeters.

The recess for the toilet is filled with cement and then taffeta is installed there so that the anchors are at the bottom. It turns out that the surface of the taffeta should practically not protrude above the floor, but be flush with it.

The solution should harden well, for this the toilet is left alone for twelve hours. After that, the installation can be continued. The equipment is additionally fixed with screws. In this case, it is imperative to use rubber washers. Then the surface of the device will not be damaged when fixing the screws, that is, when they are tightened.

Experienced craftsmen recommend lubricating the screws with graphite or grease before installation. Then, if necessary, it will be very easy to take them out. Instead of a piece of wood for taffeta, you can use rubber with a thickness of 0.5-1.5 cm. A rubber rug is ideal for this. The substrate, made in this way, should be a couple of centimeters smaller than the toilet support.

Hidden mount

There is another variety - this is a hidden toilet mount. It differs slightly from the method described first, but still has its own nuances. Let's consider the process in detail:

1. As with open method installation, with a hidden method, a contour is also drawn on the tile, which repeats the base of the toilet bowl. Attachment points are also marked.
2. The hidden fastening kit is placed on the floor and markings are made along which holes will be drilled.
3. Next, the fastening is fixed with bolts.
4. The toilet is installed in its place and fastened with bolts. In this case, the emptiness of its base should fall on the hidden fasteners. It is fixed through the side holes. Do not immediately tighten the bolts strongly so that you can later adjust the toilet when connected to the systems.

If you need to install hidden fasteners, but you cannot drill the floor, then use the following methods:

• Put the toilet on liquid nails.
• Seal it with silicone sealant.
• Apply epoxy.

Whichever method you choose, always keep in mind that for better adhesion, the surface of the tile must be cleaned with sandpaper so that it acquires the desired roughness. Only then will the adhesion of the two surfaces take place in the best possible way.

There is also such an option as side mounting the toilet to the floor. It is usually applied to toilets with a concealed mount or if you need to install a corner toilet. Then just purchase a special set of side mounts. The toilet bowl is mounted on plastic brackets, to which screws, dowels and caps are attached.

So, we have considered all known methods of fastening such a plumbing device as a toilet bowl to the floor. All methods are very different from each other in the complexity of implementation and the time spent on their implementation. However, all of them are easy to implement without outside help. It is very important to choose the right type of fastener for each specific case. It depends on many factors, such as, for example, the material from which the floor in the bathroom is made.

If you deal with the issue of installing a toilet bowl, then you can save a lot on the services of plumbing specialists. And do not be afraid of this work, because there are no special technological processes. The main thing is to get to the heart of the matter, study the material provided and consolidate the whole theory with the video material you have watched.

In this article, we will tell you about the popular ways to fix the toilet to the floor. It should be said right away that we will not describe the technology of concreting the toilet bowl, it is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Now the toilet is installed directly on the tile and it is important to understand the methods of its fastening.

Dismantling works

First of all, it is necessary to carry out dismantling work to remove the old device. All this work should not take long. First of all, the valve for supplying water to the tank is closed. After that, the nut on the hose is unscrewed. The tank is draining water. Next, the mount on the tank is dismantled.

Helpful advice! If the mount is metal and it is slightly rusted, then it will be problematic to unscrew the nut. In such a case, you can use special formulations such as WD-40. In just a few minutes, the rust will go away, and you can easily unwind the fasteners.

After that, the fasteners on the toilet itself are dismantled. Usually these are anchors twisted into the floor. If you still have an old toilet, then it can be cemented. In this case, you need to carefully break the screed and completely remove the old toilet.

If there are no plans for it or it is already flowing, then you can break the toilet itself, in which case the dismantling will be facilitated. But remember, this is acceptable if it is concreted!

During the dismantling process, be sure to follow the safety precautions so that the fragments do not damage unprotected areas of the body. Plus, you need to carefully remove the toilet from the sewer pipe. If it is damaged, the installation process may be difficult.

Foundation preparation

After complete dismantling, it is necessary to prepare the base for installing the toilet bowl. The amount of work will depend entirely on the quality of the floor. If there is a tile on it and you do not plan to replace it, then just make sure that it is securely held. If you remove the old tile and lay a new one, then you should not rush to install the toilet.

If the old device was concreted and a hole formed in the floor after its removal, then it must be completely cleaned and cemented. It is also important to pay attention to the outlet of the sewer pipe. It must be integral in order to exclude the possibility of leakage of sewage. If you have cast iron pipes, then immediately plan to replace the pipe with a plastic one.

Tools

To fix the toilet with your own hands, you need the appropriate tool. Most home craftsmen have it. In particular, you may need:

• Perforator.
• Wrench.
• A hammer.
• Roulette.
• New flexible hose.
• FUM tape.
• Fasteners.
• Sealant.

This is the main set of tools. Its configuration may vary slightly, depending on the method of installation.

Instructions for fixing the toilet bowl - 3 ways

So, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with three ways to fix the toilet:

1. With the help of dowels.
2. For glue.
3. On taffeta.

Although the technology is different, the task remains the same - to securely fasten the toilet to the floor so that it does not fall during its operation.

With dowels

If you have a flat floor, then this method is the most common. But a perfectly flat tile floor is important here. If a small difference falls into the place of attachment, the toilet bowl may crack.

To prevent this from happening, you can put a rubber lining or a piece of old linoleum under the toilet. To cut it out, you need to put the toilet bowl on the material, circle the outline with a marker and then cut out the given shape.

After that, marking is carried out directly on the floor. In most cases, toilet bowls have two mounts. The markup process is as follows:

• Put the toilet in the intended place.
• Outline its outline on the floor.
• Place marks where the mounting hole will be drilled.
• You remove the device and apply a sealant to the floor, with which the lining selected and cut out by you will be glued.

While the sealant hardens, you can begin to make a hole. The quality of fastening will largely depend on the correctness of the selected drill diameter. It must fully correspond to the diameter of the dowel. You can drill through the gasket.

A plastic dowel must be hammered into the prepared hole. After that, we install the toilet in place and fix it with dowels. The device should be properly pulled, but moderately, otherwise the tab on the mount may break off.

For simplified installation, usually dowels for fastening are equipped with a special plastic gasket, which eliminates the possibility of a possible chipping.

At the next stage, the toilet is connected to the sewer, the tank is installed and the water is connected. When installing the tank, a rubber seal must be used. For greater probability, it can be smeared with silicone or other sealant. This will increase the quality of the docking and prevent water leakage during draining.

note

After filling the tank, it is necessary to drain it several times. This is done in order to make sure that all joints are completely sealed: between the tank and the toilet, on the water hose and on the connection of the sewer pipe.

At the end of all work, it is recommended to treat the junction of the toilet bowl and the tiles on the floor with silicone sealant. This will prevent water leakage and dampness accumulation.

On glue

You can also fix the toilet with glue. This is especially necessary when there is underfloor heating technology. Can be used as an adhesive different materials such as epoxy, silicone and other sealants.

If epoxy adhesive is available, use it only if the floors are sufficiently smooth. The work process is as follows:

1. First, the floor surface must be thoroughly cleaned of all kinds of contaminants. Also, there should be no moisture that will interfere with good adhesion.
2. In order for the quality of adhesion to be high, floor tiles can be roughened with a stiff brush.
3. Next, the surface is degreased with acetone or another solvent.
4. If the glue is ready, then it must be applied to the bottom of the toilet bowl, with a layer thickness of up to 4 mm.
5. Then bring the device to sewer hole, dock and at the same time install it in its place.
6. Putting the toilet on the floor, it must be pressed and left for half a day for the glue to harden.
7. Only when the glue has dried, you can connect the tank and water supply.

That's the whole technology of gluing the toilet bowl to the floor.

On taffeta

If you have a wooden floor, then this method of fixing the toilet is the most suitable. Taffeta refers to a special lining made of wood.

The thickness of the wood should be around 300 mm. In order to prevent rotting of this embedded part, it must be treated with drying oil and other anti-corrosion compounds without fail. The essence of this technology is as follows:

• Stuff nails onto the prepared timber so that they peek out of the taffeta by 30 mm.
• Next, a recess is prepared in the screed according to the size of the taffeta.
• Fill the hole with mortar.
• Attach the workpiece to the solution with the side where the nails stick out.
• As a result, it should be flush with the floor.
• It is necessary to give time for the solution to fully seize and get stronger.
• After 12 hours, you can fix the toilet with self-tapping screws directly into the wooden mortgage.

Advice! To make the screws easy to tighten, they can be lubricated with graphite or grease. Thanks to this, after a while it will also be easy to unscrew them..

After that, the standard procedure for connecting the barrel is carried out. Additionally, you can smear the place where the toilet bowl joins the taffeta with silicone. This will eliminate the likelihood that moisture will flow under the sole and accumulate.

Conclusion

So, we looked at the two most common technologies for how to properly install a toilet on a tile. Also, in addition, we learned how to be if you have a wooden floor. As you can see, there are no particularly complicated processes. One of the main tasks is to choose the right fasteners.

Although in most cases, it comes with the purchased device. We hope that this material will help you deal with all the details of installing and fixing the toilet bowl on your own.
