Attaching the toilet to the floor
Sometimes people need to replace an old toilet with a new one, and this happens for many reasons, starting from the fact that the old toilet no longer has an attractive appearance to the fact that it has completely deteriorated. Whether you bought a new toilet or are replacing an old one, it must be secured to the floor. The process needs to be considered in more detail.
The first step is to prepare a site for it, after which you need to make a foundation for it. The base for the toilet must be strong and can withstand not only the weight of the toilet itself, but also the person who will use it. In addition, in order for the toilet to serve for many years in a row, and subsequently not to swing without pieces of wood and other objects underneath it, it is necessary to approach the preparation of the base for plumbing with all responsibility. Today, the internal and external mount for the toilet, each of them has its own characteristics.
Toilet mounts
Today, the toilet is attached to the floor using screws and dowels, epoxy glue, and wooden taffeta.
Let's look at each case in more detail. If you are going to use epoxy adhesive to install the toilet to the floor, the first step is to thoroughly clean all surfaces to which it will be applied. In addition, they must be degreased using acetone or some other solvent. Then you can safely start making glue. If it is made correctly, in full accordance with the instructions, it can be used within 1.5 hours. After the glue is ready, it can be applied to the floor and bottom of the toilet (in the corners) in a relatively small layer (no more than 4 cm in area of at least 20 cm²).
After you apply the glue to the floor and bottom, you need to install the toilet in place and attach it tightly to the socket, preferably pressing it down with something. Then it must be left for approximately 12 hours for the adhesive mass to set. The toilet should not be touched or used until this period has expired, otherwise it may become dislodged.
This method is most appropriate if the floor in the toilet is made of tiles, because it is not practical to use screws, dowels or wooden taffeta to fasten the toilet to the tile. You don't need any special skills or knowledge to use epoxy glue for fasteners, but you will have to wait to see the final result.

Dowels and screws
Let's consider the second method - fixing the toilet using dowels and screws. First you need to decide on the installation location of the toilet, and when you install the toilet in the optimal position, you need to make markings for future holes in the floor in place of the mounting bushings. Once the markings are done, you can remove the toilet, pick up a drill and a drill bit and carefully make the necessary hole. The depth of such holes traditionally does not exceed 5-7 cm. You must work carefully both with the coating where you make the hole and with the drill. For example, if you are making holes in tiles, then during hasty work the tile can be damaged or the drill can burst due to overheating, which should not be allowed. Once a few holes have been made, you can begin drilling into the concrete. It is necessary to prepare an appropriate concrete drill in advance and measure the length of the dowels. In most cases, the depth of the holes is about 6-8 cm.
The next step is to clean the holes you created from dust and dirt. Then you need to fill them with sealant or special tile adhesive. Fill the hole until it is full. After this, you need to insert the dowels into the holes until they stop. This must be done until the dowel is completely hidden in the niche so that it does not stick out above the surface. If there is excess silicone or glue, it will need to be removed so that the toilet will subsequently stand level. This can be done using a cloth or rubber spatula. After this simple procedure it will be possible to go into place. The toilet is attached where the holes for the mounting bushings were made. In this case, you can use silicone to further seal the bottom of the toilet. After the toilet is installed, you need to tighten the screws into the mounting sleeves. The kit usually includes plugs for screws, thanks to which appearance plumbing will not be affected. The plug should be attached next.
In the end, it turns out that everything is ready and the toilet is ready for use; all that remains is to remove excess silicone using some kind of solvent or white spirit. The second option is preferable in this case, since it does not spoil the painted surfaces.

Wooden taffeta
Last and classic way consists in using wooden taffeta (boards) for this. In order to use this type, it is necessary to make an opening in the floor into which the taffeta will need to be placed. The dimensions of this hole should perfectly match the dimensions of the taffeta. Once the taffeta is installed in the recess, it will need to be filled with concrete mortar to finally secure the base for the toilet. It would not be superfluous to take care of additional reinforcement of the entire future structure. In order to do this, it is necessary to “drive” anchors into the board. This must be done in such a way that they protrude from the board by several centimeters (2 cm is enough). After the base ( concrete mortar) dries, it is necessary to secure the toilet to the taffeta through the holes in its tide. To do this, you can use screws, which must first be lubricated with grease.
It is necessary to mention that if you are planning to install a toilet using this particular option, there is a possibility that the toilet frame may become damaged in the process. To avoid such a nuisance, you need to place a piece of some kind of rubber or leather product under the head of the screws that you will use for fastening. If some parts of the products protrude from under the screws, they can be easily removed using either a knife or scissors. In addition, such pieces can be hidden using plastic or brass washers.
Thus, it turns out that not everyone will allow you to use it right away. For example, in the first and last case, you will first need to wait a certain amount of time (about 12 hours) for the glue and concrete mixture completely dried out. Otherwise, if you use the toilet and don't wait until the base is completely dry, it may move, causing new problems. Therefore, it is necessary to find a solution to such a problem in advance. Of course, there is always a third option, the so-called “golden mean”, thanks to which it can be used immediately after installing and fixing the toilet to the floor. The use of screws and dowels does not require any waiting time, which means that you can begin using it immediately.
Naturally, you will need much more time to install the toilet - firstly, you need to make holes into which silicone is poured and dowels are attached; secondly, install the toilet, secure it with screws and remove excess silicone mass. All this takes some time.
In addition, if you need to avoid “injuring” the tiles, you can use, as mentioned above, epoxy glue (resin), silicone glue or liquid nails.
Modern technologies for the manufacture of plumbing fixtures make it possible to fill the market building materials various models of toilets.
Sanitary fixtures vary in modifications cisterns, material of manufacture (porcelain, earthenware), fastening device, location of water supply and drain outlet. In most cases, bathrooms and toilet rooms decorated with tiles.
Walls and floors are covered with tiles. How to attach to tiled floor the toilet so that it stands firmly on its base? In this article we will give the reader information on how best to do this.
Preparatory work before installing the toilet
Find a comfortable toilet pipe length
The drain sink is installed when the work on tiling the walls and floors with ceramic tiles is completed.
If you install the plumbing first, and then proceed to the device flooring made of ceramics, then you will have to deal with rather complex cutting in the slabs to outline the base of the pedestal of the plumbing fixture.
This will cause a risk of damage to the cladding if the selection of cut tiles is unsuccessful.
When tiling walls and floors with ceramic tiles, you need to achieve a comfortable protrusion length from the wall water pipe.
The outlet of the water pipe must be such that a shut-off valve can be installed.
The sewer drain can protrude from both the wall and the floor. The sewer socket must provide a tight connection with the corrugation.
Required tools and materials
To successfully complete the task, you should have patience and prepare the following set of tools:
- perforator, drill;
- marker;
- drills for glass and ceramics;
- screwdrivers;
- sealant;
- spanners;
- adjustable wrench and sockets with collar;
- dowels with self-tapping screws;
- pliers;
- corrugated pipe;
- tap;
- core;
- grinder with abrasive wheel;
- connecting hose.

Installing a toilet on a tiled floor
Toilet installation
Installing a toilet on a tiled floor different ways depending on the position of the mounting holes in the sink pedestal.
There are three options for attaching a plumbing fixture to ceramic coating gender:
Installation of a toilet with vertical mounting
Most drain sink models are made with mounting holes for vertical fasteners. Installation of the sink is carried out in several stages:
Before installing the toilet, check the horizontal position of the installation site. If no deviations are identified, then the base of the pedestal and the tiles along the contour of the sink support are not cleaned.
Lateral fixation of the toilet
Installing a toilet with side mounting holes is somewhat different from installing a sink with vertical fasteners.
The difference is that the mounting parts are hidden under the pedestal of the device.
Install this model of the device as follows:
Gluing the toilet base
This installation method is used if the base of the floor is equipped with a heating system. There is a risk of damage heating equipment when drilling mounting holes. For more information about the work, watch this video:
In this case, cleaning the base of the pedestal and the surface ceramic tiles along the contour of the toilet support is required. This is done to increase the adhesion of the bonded surfaces.
Press the toilet firmly to the floor
Gluing a toilet bowl to a tiled surface liquid nails. The surfaces are covered with glue, then they are pressed against each other.
The toilet is removed from the installation site and placed on its side. Maintain the time specified in the instructions. Then set the sink in place and press it to the floor.
The remaining installation work is performed in the same way as in previous cases.
You can begin installing a toilet on a tiled floor yourself only if you have the skills and experience in this type of work.
When renovating a bathroom, laying ceramic tiles on the walls and floors is often done before installing plumbing fixtures and furniture. After all, it’s much easier to lay all the cladding this way. In the future, we are faced with the task of how to fix the toilet on the tiles so as not to damage the lining or the product itself.
Exactly the same question arises in cases where you simply need to replace a damaged toilet with a new one. Our article describes the most common methods by which you can install a toilet on tiles.
How to install a toilet on tiles.
We are often asked: “Can a toilet be installed on tiles?” Yes, you can. But this task is not an easy one and, depending on the chosen technique, requires proper professionalism or time.
We will describe several ways in which a toilet is traditionally installed on a tile floor. And you yourself choose the most suitable one for yourself.
First you should stock up the following materials and tools (some of them may not be needed, depending on the chosen method of installing the toilet on the tile):
- corrugated pipe;
— flexible hose for wiring cold water to the toilet;
— ball valve to control water access to the toilet;
— drills for concrete and ceramic tiles;
- drill or hammer drill;
- adjustable wrench;
- screwdrivers;
- hammer;
- pencil;
— core.
Method 1. Installing the toilet on tiles with bolts.
In this method, installing a toilet on a tiled floor is done by bolting it. The advantage of this method is that the toilet is easy to dismantle without damaging the product itself or the lining, and it is also easy to put it back or replace it with a similar model if some trouble happens to the old one.
Scheme of work.
The toilet is placed in the place where it is planned to be installed and with a pencil, through the holes for the bolts, marks are made on the tile. The marks must be placed strictly in the center of the holes so that the bolts fit exactly into the holes after drilling.
Attention! How to properly drill tiles on a wall or floor so that they do not crack is described in detail in our article - “How to drill tiles”. 
After the holes are drilled, they are cleaned of dust and filled with silicone, which will perform the task of waterproofing. Then dowels are inserted into the holes and the toilet is placed. Silicone sealant is applied along the contour of the toilet, which will prevent moisture from getting under the product. Next, it’s a matter of small things - in drilled holes we insert the bushings and tighten the screws.
If excess silicone protrudes from under the base of the toilet, remove it rubber spatula.
Method 2. Installing the toilet on tiles without bolts.
There are times when you need to fix a toilet to a tiled floor without drilling or bolts. For example, when a “warm floor” system is installed under the tiles. In this case, you can use several other methods.
Installing a toilet on a tile using cement mortar.
With the help of cement, the toilet bowl can be almost “tightly” fixed to the tiled floor. However, dismantling it will be troublesome. Especially if the toilet is connected to cast iron sewer. In this case, the product will most likely not be damaged. Therefore, this method of installing a toilet on tiles is only suitable in cases where it is expected to be installed for many decades and will not be dismantled in the near future.
Scheme of work.
We will need a hammer, chisel, and cement. We place the toilet in its permanent location and connect its outlet to the socket sewer pipe, and outline the location of the product with a pencil.
Next, we remove the toilet and make small notches on the tile along the contour of the base of the toilet, lightly knocking down the top glaze of the tile using a hammer and chisel. This is necessary for better adhesion of the cement to the floor. It is better to do this work with safety glasses, as the fragments of tile glaze are quite sharp.
Then we cook cement mortar with sand (or without it), bringing the consistency to a thick consistency. We wet the floor along the contour where the base of the toilet will go, and this base itself too. Spread the solution generously onto the notched floor contour and place the toilet, slightly pressing it into the floor. We collect the excess squeezed out cement with a rubber spatula. We wait until the solution hardens.
Installing a toilet with silicone, liquid nails, or epoxy resin.
You can also glue the toilet to the tile using such means as liquid nails, silicone sealant, epoxy resin. However, each of these means has its own disadvantages. In particular, fixing the toilet with liquid nails guarantees you the same problems during dismantling as in the case of cement.
Installing a toilet with silicone- also a fairly common method. However, it is not entirely safe. Using silicone alone can cause the product to move, causing damage and injury to a person. A lot here depends on the sealant itself, professionalism, and operating conditions. The obvious advantage of this method is the possibility of extremely easy and quick dismantling of the toilet without any damage to the product or lining.
Usage epoxy resin - another very light and relatively safe way attaching the toilet to ceramic tiles. But damage to the tiles, if you need to dismantle the toilet, you most likely cannot avoid.
Progress.
In general, the process of installing a toilet with silicone, epoxy resin or liquid nails is similar to that with cement.
Before installation, you should degrease the area of the floor where the toilet will be placed and the toilet itself in the place where it will be placed on the floor. Next, you need to apply the adhesive to the area of the floor and the toilet itself, place it on the tile and press firmly. After this, you need to wait until the mixture dries.
So, we have told you the basic methods by which a toilet is installed on tiles. If you are interested in some nuances that are not covered in the article, you can ask our managers a question, and we will be happy to answer them.
Carrying out renovation work in the bathroom, in most cases, old plumbing fixtures are replaced with new ones. Since the bathroom is a room with high humidity, most often it is faced with tiles. You can order the installation of a toilet on a tiled floor from specialists, or you can install it yourself.
It is easiest to install equipment on tiles when all tiling work in the bathroom has been completed. Dismantling an old toilet and installing a new one is not a difficult job, so you can save on the services of specialists and install it yourself. Toilets differ in design and size, but the components for its installation are identical.
Since the installation of a toilet on a tile occurs directly with the base to the floor, the most important task is to determine the boundaries where its leg will be attached. You need to take measurements carefully and carefully distribute the distance to the walls and other plumbing fixtures in the bathroom.
Required materials and tools
When buying plumbing equipment, you need to carefully inspect it and find out if all the components are available. The set of spare parts depends on the type of design. To install a toilet on tiles you must have:
- Mounting bracket;
- Bolts;
- Hairpins;
- Plastic dowels;
- Gaskets;
- Washers;
- Top plugs for decoration.
If the manufacturer does not provide factory fastening, then you need to take care of this yourself by purchasing additional ones from the plumbing department.
In addition to the components, you need to have on hand a set of tools, equipment and building materials:
- A hammer drill or drill complete with various drills, including those for working with ceramic tiles.
- Adjustable wrench.
- Building level.
- Hammer.
- Screwdriver.
- Lead pencil.
- Rubber spatula.
- Marker.
To connect:
- Hose supplied to the drain barrel (flexible);
- Ball valve;
- Sealant;
- Pipe for supply to the sewer pipe.
Preparing to install a toilet
Before you start attaching the toilet to the floor on the tiles, you need to empty the room and remove everything unnecessary. The first step is to mark the boundaries where the toilet will be installed, install it and outline the outline of the base. A marker is best for this. Along with the outline, marks for holes for fasteners are indicated.
After making the marks, you need to remove the toilet and apply micro chips to the drilling sites with a center punch. This will allow you to avoid damaging the entire surface of the tile when drilling holes.
You need to cut the tiles in two steps. First, take a drill for working with ceramic tiles. After that you need to take a drill to work with concrete surfaces. The resulting holes must be treated with sealant to prevent moisture from entering them.
Important! When drilling tiles, care must be taken to ensure that the drill does not overheat. To do this, it needs to be cooled in cold water.
Methods for installing a toilet on tiles
There are several ways to install a toilet on tiles:
- Internal method.
- External method.
- For cement mortar.
- For construction adhesive.
- On the dowels.
- For silicone.
- For epoxy resin.
- For liquid nails.
External installation instructions
The external installation method involves fixing the toilet to tiles using bolts. It has several stages.
- Use a pencil or marker to mark the places where the base and fastening points will be located, then carefully drill. Calculate the depth in accordance with the dimensions of the bolts.
- The mounting holes must be treated with silicone sealant and plastic dowels must be inserted.
- It is best to coat the outlined base with silicone sealant to prevent moisture from getting under the toilet.
- You need to screw the studs into the holes, install the toilet on them and tighten the bolts.
If, during tightening, sealant comes out between the base and the tile, it should be removed using a rubber spatula. - The final stage is the installation of decorative plugs and connection to the sewer pipe.
Instructions for internal fastening
When fixing the toilet internally to the tiles, they prepare not only the mounting and installation sites, but also the location for the connection to the sewer pipe and the water supply.
- A mounting bracket must be attached to the toilet. It is connected using a threaded connection.
- Place the base of the device on the tile and mark with a pencil or marker the places where the bracket holes will be located.
- Drill holes according to the marks. Their depth should correspond to the size of the bolt.
- Tighten the bolts, but not completely. It is necessary to leave some play for ease of connection to other plumbing elements.
- Install sealed plumbing elements. Before installation, coat their outline with silicone for plumbing work.
- Place the plumbing fixtures on the mounting brackets and secure them to the internal brackets through the side holes. If silicone comes out when tightening, remove it with a spatula.
- The final tightening should be done after the toilet has been checked for compliance with the sewer system and water supply.
Mounting on plumbing dowels
Dowel fastening is the most common and reliable method. But it also has points that need to be taken into account during installation.
First of all, for this method of fastening you need to drill a hole in the ceramic tile under the intended location of the toilet base. This must be done very carefully, because any mistake can lead to damage.
The dowel mounting is designed for low installation weight. If the toilet is heavy, then it is better to choose another method.
The first step is to mark the intended installation location with a marker, outlining the base and attachment points.
Important! The toilet should not wobble even before screwing it to the tile. If this happens, put a thick backing on the tile under the toilet or clean its base, if the problem is not the unevenness of the floor surface.
Drill the tiles carefully to avoid chips and cracks. To do this, you need to take a drill for working with ceramic tiles and a drill for concrete. After the tiles are drilled, you need to change the drills.
Insert plastic dowels into the resulting holes treated with silicone sealant. Position the toilet in accordance with the holes and insert the dowels. They need to be tightened after installing special rubber bands that will protect the coating from damage when tightened.
How to install a toilet on tiles yourself without bolts
It happens that you need to install a toilet without bolts on tiles. Most often this happens when a “warm floor” system is installed. Then it’s worth knowing how to glue the toilet to the tile if drilling is impossible. To do this, install the toilet using glue without drilling.
How to glue a toilet to ceramic tiles
To install in this way, you need to buy specialized glue, which is used in construction. Before installation, measure the base of the toilet and mark it on the tile with a marker. Clean the base of the toilet and degrease it along with the tiles.
Apply the glue carefully to the base of the toilet. Observe the proportions, because if there is not enough glue, the toilet will not hold well. If there is a lot, there is a risk of staining the rest of the tiles.
Carefully move the device to the mounting location and lower it along the marks. It's best if they help you. It is problematic for one person to cope and place a level base.
Important! If the composition protrudes beyond the boundaries of the base, it must be immediately removed with a spatula soaked in soapy water.
Do not use the toilet for 24 hours to allow the glue to cure thoroughly.
Installing a toilet on tiles using cement mortar
Installing a toilet on tiles using this method is not the best the best option. It is suitable for cases when the toilet is installed in place of a dismantled one or when installation tools are not available.
To attach a toilet to a tiled floor without drilling using cement mortar, you need the following tools:
- cement mortar or cement-based tile adhesive;
- marker or pencil;
- hammer;
- spatula (narrow and medium);
- chisel.
Before you begin, you need to roughly check the joints of all installation elements by installing the device in the intended location and connecting all the necessary plumbing elements. Then you need to outline the base with a marker or pencil. Using a chisel, it is necessary to apply notches at the marks.
Important! The notches must be applied carefully to prevent the tile from cracking. Be sure to wear safety glasses to prevent shrapnel from getting into your eyes.
The next step is to prepare the cement mortar; the cement mortar is diluted 2:1. The cement mixture contains large admixtures of sand, which can affect hardening. Best to use ready mixture tile adhesive, as it is much more reliable and dries faster. Calculate the preparation of the solution for 4 kilograms.
Once the mixture is prepared, it should be carefully applied to the notched area. Before gluing the toilet to the tile using the resulting composition, you need to moisten the surface a little. The base of the device’s legs must also be moistened and installed in the place allocated for it. On the front and back sides, plastic plates must be placed under the base, the thickness of which should be 5 mm and the width 50 mm.
Important! While placing the plates, it is necessary to ensure that the toilet seat is perfectly level.
Remove excess solution using a spatula. After drying, it is necessary to remove the pads and concrete the holes from them with the same solution. Do not use plumbing fixtures for 5 days.
If in the future you want to dismantle it, this will happen by splitting its base. This means that it can no longer be reinstalled.
Installing a toilet with liquid nails, epoxy resin, silicone
It is possible to install the device on tiles using liquid nails, silicone sealant, epoxy resin. When using these methods, it is necessary to study all the pros and cons of such an installation.
If you use liquid nails, subsequent dismantling will lead to splitting of the base.
Fixing a toilet with silicone is a common method, but this method does not guarantee that the installation will not move over time. The only advantage of installing on silicone is that subsequent dismantling will take place without damage to the device and tiles.
Safe and reliable way fastenings - gluing the toilet to the floor using epoxy resin. But this also has its drawbacks; when dismantling, the tile covering will be damaged.
Installation using all three methods is similar to mounting on cement mortar. The first step is to mark the edges of the leg on the tile. Then degrease the joints, namely the edges of the base and tiled surface. Apply the mixture to the tiles and the base of the device, then press well and wait until the mixture hardens.
Connection to sewerage and water supply
The supplied toilet must be connected to sewer system for further usage. For this purpose, plastic is most often used. It allows you to adjust the distance and angle of entry into the sewer pipe. The corrugated pipe has reliable seals that prevent leakage at the outlet and at the junction with the drain hole.
The corrugation must be inserted into the sewer pipe and into the toilet outlet, and lubricated at the junction with plumbing silicone. Then you need to check the tightness by draining water from the drain barrel. If the tank is not yet connected, this can be done using a bucket of water.
To properly install a toilet on a tile, there are a number of useful tips:
- Before installing the plumbing, you must complete everything repair and finishing work In bathroom. This is necessary so that during the installation process there are no problems with fitting the tiles.
- Always measure the distance to the sewer pipe and surrounding walls.
- It is best for two people to install the toilet.
- If there is an uneven surface in the bathroom, then to prevent the toilet from wobbling, a backing is placed under it during installation.
- If the toilet has a heated floor, this means that drilling cannot be done. Drilling tiles with a heated floor system will lead to damage. For this, only methods involving gluing the toilet to the tile are suitable.
Common Mistakes
The most common mistake is poor surface leveling. As a result, equipment breakdown and leakage may occur. To do this, you need to have a building level on hand.
Poor sealing can lead to unpleasant odors and unwanted occurrence. You need to use only high-quality components with good rubberized gaskets.
There is no need to skip the point of cleaning all pipes from contamination so that the service life of the equipment is longer. If a leak in the drain barrel is detected, it is necessary to check the serviceability of the valves.
Installing a toilet is not difficult process, you can do it yourself. The main rule is to follow all instructions and recommendations for its installation.
Modern technologies for the manufacture of plumbing fixtures make it possible to fill the building materials market with a variety of toilet models.
Sanitary fixtures differ in modifications of the flush tanks, materials of manufacture (porcelain, earthenware), fastening devices, location of the water supply and drain outlet. In most cases, bathrooms and toilet rooms are tiled.
Walls and floors are covered with tiles. How to fix a toilet on a tiled floor so that it stands firmly on its base? In this article we will give the reader information on how best to do this.
Preparatory work before installing the toilet
Find a comfortable toilet pipe length The drain sink is installed when the work on tiling the walls and floors with ceramic tiles is completed.
If you install the plumbing first, and then start installing the ceramic floor covering, you will have to deal with rather complex cutting in the slabs to contour the base of the pedestal of the plumbing fixture.
This will cause a risk of damage to the cladding if the selection of cut tiles is unsuccessful.
When covering walls and floors with ceramic tiles, you need to achieve a convenient length for the protrusion of the water pipe from the wall.
The outlet of the water pipe must be such that a shut-off valve can be installed.
The sewer drain can protrude from both the wall and the floor. The sewer socket must provide a tight connection with the corrugation.
Required tools and materials
To successfully complete the task, you should have patience and prepare the following set of tools:
- perforator, drill;
- marker;
- drills for glass and ceramics;
- screwdrivers;
- sealant;
- spanners;
- adjustable wrench and sockets with collar;
- dowels with self-tapping screws;
- pliers;
- corrugated pipe;
- tap;
- core;
- grinder with abrasive wheel;
- connecting hose.
Installing a toilet on a tiled floor
Toilet installation
Installing a toilet on a tiled floor can be done in different ways, depending on the position of the mounting holes in the sink pedestal.
There are three options for attaching a plumbing fixture to a ceramic floor covering:
Most drain sink models are made with mounting holes for vertical fasteners. Installation of the sink is carried out in several stages:
Before installing the toilet, check the horizontal position of the installation site. If no deviations are identified, then the base of the pedestal and the tiles along the contour of the sink support are not cleaned.
Installing a toilet with side mounting holes is somewhat different from installing a sink with vertical fasteners.
The difference is that the mounting parts are hidden under the pedestal of the device.
Install this model of the device as follows:
This installation method is used if the base of the floor is equipped with a heating system. There is a risk of damage to heating equipment when drilling mounting holes. For more information about the work, watch this video:
In this case, cleaning the base of the pedestal and the surface of the ceramic tiles along the contour of the toilet support is mandatory. This is done to increase the adhesion of the bonded surfaces.
Press the toilet firmly to the floor Glue the toilet to the tiled surface with liquid nails. The surfaces are covered with glue, then they are pressed against each other.
The toilet is removed from the installation site and placed on its side. Maintain the time specified in the instructions. Then set the sink in place and press it to the floor.
The remaining installation work is performed in the same way as in previous cases.
You can begin installing a toilet on a tiled floor yourself only if you have the skills and experience in this type of work.
