Fontana Porcelain Toilets — High-Density Ceramic • Low Porosity • Architect-Grade Finishes
FontanaShowers® | Porcelain Toilet Collection
Porcelain Toilets for High-Traffic Commercial Restrooms
Fontana toilets are manufactured from
porcelain—a ceramic material fired at high temperatures to achieve
high density, low porosity, and exceptional durability. The result is a hard, vitreous surface that resists staining,
absorbs minimal moisture, and withstands intensive cleaning cycles—ideal for airports, malls, healthcare, hospitality, and civic buildings.

Design & Technical Visuals
Architect-Focused Advantages
High-Temperature Firing
Porcelain is fired at elevated kiln temperatures to achieve vitrification—yielding a dense, glassy matrix with outstanding surface hardness and shape stability.
Low Porosity Glazing
Precision glazing and polishing reduce micro-absorption, improving stain resistance and enabling effective sanitation with standard commercial chemicals.
Durability Under Load
High-density ceramic withstands repeated loading in public restrooms while maintaining dimensional accuracy at mounting and sealing interfaces.
Hygienic Geometry
Optimized bowl contours, rim profiles, and trapway smoothing support rapid waste removal and easier daily maintenance.
Finish Discipline
Architectural colorways (model-dependent) complement Fontana’s touchless ecosystem—coordinated with faucets, dispensers, and flush systems.
Service Accessibility
Clear anchoring points, seal interfaces, and access paths streamline installation and shorten routine maintenance windows.
Material Rationale: Porcelain (Vitreous China)
What Porcelain Provides
- High Density: Increased mechanical strength, chip resistance, and dimensional stability.
- Low Porosity: Minimal water absorption supports hygiene, stain resistance, and odor control.
- Chemical Resistance: Tolerates aggressive cleaners used in high-traffic facilities.
How It’s Made
- Refined ceramic body is slip-cast and kiln-fired at high temperatures for vitrification.
- Glazed and re-fired to produce a hard, non-porous, easy-clean surface.
- Dimensional checks ensure fit-up with seats, carriers, and flush systems.
Applications in High-Traffic Buildings
Airports & Transit
Vitreous surfaces resist staining and tolerate frequent cleaning shifts.
Healthcare
Low porosity supports stringent hygiene and disinfection protocols.
Hospitality
Designer finishes and refined geometry align with premium brand standards.
Retail & Mixed-Use
Durable body and hardware maintain appearance with heavy public footfall.
Education & Civic
Long service intervals and robust mounting integrity reduce lifecycle cost.
Corporate Campuses
Consistent aesthetics and performance across multi-building programs.
