Roca Dama Retro Toilet | Vertical Outlet Porcelain

Roca Dama Retro Floor-Standing Toilet — Vertical Outlet | White Porcelain | 3/6L Dual Flush | Low Cistern | 3-Year Warranty

The Roca Dama Retro is a floor-standing toilet that makes no compromise between aesthetic identity and functional performance. Designed for classic, vintage, and retro-style bathrooms, it combines the timeless visual language of traditional bathroom design — clean, softly curved lines, a low-profile cistern, and an all-white porcelain finish — with the practical engineering standards expected of a contemporary Roca product: a 3/6-litre dual flush mechanism, a drag discharge system, a vertical floor outlet, and high-quality vitreous porcelain construction built to last decades. At 40.5 cm long × 68.5 cm wide × 74.5 cm high, the Dama Retro fits comfortably in a wide range of bathroom footprints while delivering a visual impact well beyond its size. Supplied with a lacquered seat and lid with removable hinges and a complete fixing kit for straightforward installation, it is the correct choice for any renovation or new-build project where a retro aesthetic and proven Roca reliability must coexist. Backed by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty and available now at MerkiMarket with fast delivery to France and Belgium.

Design Philosophy: Why the Dama Retro Stands Apart

Most bathroom products in the retro and vintage category present a difficult trade-off: genuinely period-inspired aesthetics often come at the cost of modern performance, water efficiency, and ease of maintenance — while products with strong technical credentials frequently lack the visual authenticity that makes a classic-style bathroom feel deliberate rather than merely old-fashioned.

The Roca Dama Retro resolves this tension. Its profile — the gently rounded bowl body, the low-profile close-coupled cistern with its full lid, the clean transition between bowl and pedestal — draws directly from the visual vocabulary of mid-twentieth-century European bathroom design. It reads as genuinely retro without resorting to pastiche or period-specific ornamentation that would limit its compatibility to a single design era. The result is a toilet that works equally well in an authentic vintage-restored bathroom, a contemporary bathroom with retro accents, or a new-build home where the owner wants a bathroom that feels considered and timeless rather than trend-driven.

Vertical Outlet — What It Means and When You Need It

The Dama Retro features a vertical outlet — the waste pipe exits downward through the floor rather than horizontally through the wall. This installation configuration is essential in the following scenarios:

• Solid concrete slab floors where no horizontal chase exists to accommodate wall-exit waste routing — standard in many European apartment buildings and older construction.

• Renovation projects where the existing floor waste connection is in a fixed position beneath the toilet footprint and re-routing is not feasible or desirable.

• New-build ground floors or raised floor systems where the drainage layout has been planned with a floor-exit configuration from the outset.

• Installations where the cistern sits close to the wall but the waste connection must be positioned centrally under the pan, not at the rear wall.

The vertical outlet of the Dama Retro ensures a clean, direct connection to the floor drain without requiring adapters or offset connectors that can reduce flush efficiency and increase long-term maintenance requirements.

Porcelain Construction — Durability, Hygiene, and Longevity

The Dama Retro is manufactured in high-quality white vitreous porcelain — the material standard for premium sanitary ware and the correct choice for a product that will be in daily use for decades.

• Vitreous porcelain is fired at high temperatures to produce a dense, non-porous ceramic body with a glass-hard glaze surface. This surface resists staining, bacterial adhesion, and discolouration over time — maintaining the toilet's appearance with standard cleaning products and without the chemical-intensive maintenance that less durable materials can require.

• Dimensional stability: Porcelain does not flex, deform, or degrade under the mechanical loads and temperature cycling of daily use. The fixing points, outlet connection, and cistern mounting remain dimensionally stable throughout the product's operational life.

• White glaze: The white glaze of the Dama Retro is the classic choice for bathroom sanitary ware — it reads as clean, crisp, and timeless, coordinating with the full range of white bathroom tiles, vanity units, and fixture finishes. It will not yellow, fade, or become visually dated over time.

3/6L Dual Flush Cistern — Water Efficiency Without Compromise

The low cistern of the Dama Retro is equipped with a dual flush mechanism operating at 3 litres (half flush) and 6 litres (full flush). This represents the European standard for water-efficient toilet design and delivers meaningful savings in daily water consumption compared to older single-flush systems operating at 9–12 litres per flush.

• 3-litre half flush for liquid waste: sufficient to clear the bowl cleanly while minimising water use.

• 6-litre full flush for solid waste: the standard European full-flush volume, providing effective bowl clearance without the excessive water consumption of older designs.

• The drag discharge system ensures that flush water is directed efficiently across the full bowl surface, maximising cleaning performance at both flush volumes.

The low cistern with lid maintains the authentic retro aesthetic of the Dama Retro — the cistern sits directly behind and above the pan as a close-coupled unit, creating the compact, self-contained silhouette that defines the classic bathroom WC format.

Lacquered Seat and Lid with Removable Hinges

The Dama Retro is supplied with a lacquered seat and lid designed to complement the bowl's retro aesthetic and white porcelain finish. Key practical features:

• Lacquered finish: The seat and lid surface is lacquered for resistance to cleaning products, moisture, and daily mechanical wear — maintaining its appearance over extended use without the yellowing or surface degradation that affects lower-quality seat materials.

• Removable hinges: The seat and lid are fitted with removable hinges that allow the entire seat assembly to be detached from the bowl for thorough cleaning of the seat mounting area and the rear of the bowl — an area that is otherwise difficult to access and prone to accumulating cleaning residue. Removable hinges are a standard requirement in contemporary bathroom hygiene practice and a feature that significantly reduces the maintenance burden over the product's lifetime.

Cistern Water Inlet Position

The water inlet on the cistern is positioned at the lower left when viewing the installed toilet from the front. This is a practical installation specification that affects plumbing connection planning:

• A lower-left inlet is compatible with standard close-coupled cistern fill valve configurations and allows the supply pipe to be routed from below the floor or from a left-side wall chase without requiring visible exposed pipework or awkward connector bends.

• Installers should verify supply routing before finalising floor or wall chase positions to ensure a clean, concealed connection at this inlet position.

Roca — Quality That Defines the Bathroom Industry

The Dama Retro is manufactured by Roca, the Spanish bathroom products company founded in 1917 and now one of the world's most recognised brands in sanitaryware, faucets, and bathroom furniture — present in over 170 countries with manufacturing facilities on multiple continents.

• Manufacturing precision: Roca's porcelain production processes — body composition, firing temperatures, glazing, and dimensional control — are the product of over a century of refinement and industrial investment. The Dama Retro's outlet dimensions, fixing point positions, and cistern connection geometry are produced to the tolerances required for reliable, leak-free installation without field adjustment.

• Professional specification: Roca products are specified by professional plumbers, bathroom designers, and construction contractors globally. The brand's standing in the professional trade is a meaningful quality endorsement — professionals who install bathroom fittings daily, and who are accountable for the results, choose Roca consistently.

• Global parts availability: With Roca's presence in 170+ countries, compatible seats, cistern internals, and service parts remain available for decades after installation — ensuring that the Dama Retro can be maintained and serviced throughout its full operational life.

3-Year Warranty

The Roca Dama Retro is covered by a 36-month warranty against manufacturing defects arising during proper use. Coverage includes:

• Defects in the porcelain body, glaze, or structural integrity

• Manufacturing defects in the cistern mechanism and flush components

• Outlet and fixing point defects that would prevent correct installation under normal conditions

• Defects in the lacquered seat and lid under normal use conditions

The 3-year warranty reflects Roca's confidence in the Dama Retro's material quality and manufacturing precision — a product prone to early glaze failure, structural cracking, or mechanism defects could not be warranted at this duration without significant warranty cost. It provides peace of mind for both homeowners and professional installers.

Installation — Key Considerations

The Dama Retro is a floor-standing close-coupled toilet with a vertical floor outlet. Key installation notes:

• Floor outlet connection: The vertical outlet connects directly to a floor-mounted soil drain. Verify the position of the floor waste connection against the toilet's outlet centreline before finalising the installation position. The outlet is centred on the bowl footprint — measure from the wall to the outlet centreline to confirm alignment with the existing drain position.

• Water inlet: The cistern fill valve connects at the lower-left inlet point. Route the supply pipe accordingly to ensure a clean, concealed connection.

• Fixing: Use the included fixing kit to secure the pan to the floor. Ensure the floor surface is level and clean before fixing. Use appropriate floor plugs and screws for the floor substrate (concrete, tile, timber subfloor).

• Seat fitting: The lacquered seat fits to the standard top-fixing hinge points on the bowl rim. Removable hinge mechanisms allow the seat to be removed after installation for cleaning.

⚠️ Toilet installation involves connection to the building's soil and waste system and, in many jurisdictions, to the mains water supply. Local building regulations may require installation to be carried out or certified by a qualified plumber. Verify applicable requirements before proceeding.
