With regard to wall-mounted toilet, there have always been two camps in the market, those in favour and those against. Supporters believe that it is the saviour of small homes, although the price is a little higher, but there is almost no drawbacks; while opponents believe that it is expensive and troublesome to install, worried about the later maintenance need to smash the wall.
So, is a wall-mounted toilet worth it or not? Today, we’ll explore this question in detail, including its advantages, the problems you may be concerned about, and the things to pay attention to when installing it.
First, the significant advantages of wall-hung toilets
The most significant feature of a wall-mounted toilet is the separation of its toilet and water tank design. The tank is cleverly hidden into the wall, while the toilet is hanging installation. This design not only has a unique appearance, but also brings a number of practical benefits.
Elimination of hygienic corners
The area around the toilet is often the worst place to hide dirt, especially the part of the glass adhesive that is connected to the floor, which is easy to yellow and stick to the grey, making it very difficult to clean. The wall-mounted toilet is completely suspended, the ground below can be easily mopped directly with a mop, the rear tank is also hidden, easy to clean without dead ends.
Squeeze out the storage space
After the water tank is embedded in the wall or build a false wall, there will be an extra storage space above the toilet. You can set a simple shelf countertop, laminate, or make a closed cabinet here. This is beautiful and can play a good role in storage, without wasting a trace of space.
Solve the problem of toilet shifting
In many families, the drainpipe is located in the roof of the neighbour’s house downstairs, which makes it very difficult to move the ordinary toilet, usually need to obtain the consent of the neighbours. Wall-mounted toilet can be used directly to change the way the wall, through the shifter will be connected to the toilet drain pipe on the ground, it is more convenient to move, the bathroom space layout will be more flexible.
Second, you are concerned about the answers to those questions
Having said so many advantages, some people will certainly raise some concerns. Below, we will answer these questions one by one.
Will the wall-mounted toilet fall down?
Many people worry that wall-mounted toilets are load-bearing against the wall and may fall down. In fact, the wall-mounted toilet is fixed to the tank bracket in the wall by two high-strength steel screws, the real stress point is the bottom, and the weight down is falling on the floor. Therefore, it does not wobble or become misaligned. Moreover, the strength of the frame itself is very high, the load-bearing capacity can generally reach 400KG, even if it is 200kg of people sitting on it is no problem at all.
Is a wall-hung toilet more likely to be clogged?
Wall-mounted toilet is usually a direct-flush flushing method, the pipe diameter is generally 10cm, the location of the water tank is also higher than the general toilet. When flushing, the water force is concentrated, the flushing speed is fast, the flushing force is strong, not only can easily flush away the toilet paper, even stockings, tampons and other items are not a problem. So, there is no need to worry about this at all. If it is inadvertently clogged, you can also seek the help of a professional drain-passing master to deal with it.
Do I need to remove the wall to repair a wall-mounted toilet?
Since the tank is installed in the wall, many people will worry that the wall needs to be smashed when repairing. In fact, this is not the case. Wall-mounted toilet and ordinary toilet, the most likely to have problems is the water fittings. This problem only need to open the access port for repair or replacement, there is no need to smash the wall.
The only situation where you might need to smash the wall is if the tank is cracked. However, the concealed cisterns of wall-hung toilets are made of high-grade resin (HDPE) moulded in one piece, with neither joints nor welds, making them stronger and more durable than PVC. Therefore, the probability of the tank cracking is very low and there is no need to take it seriously at all.
Is there a smart model for wall-mounted toilet?
Of course! However, the smart integrated wall hung toilet is definitely more expensive, usually on the 5-digit figure. In order to save money, some people will also choose to buy the tank and toilet seat separately, assembled into the form of wall-mounted + smart toilet seat. However, remember to reserve water and electricity access.
In order to avoid the mismatch of the main fittings and the use of malfunction, if the financial resources allow, it is still recommended to install the one-step intelligent wall-mounted toilet. In this way, the power supply plumbing will not be exposed to the outside, and the function is more complete, as well as more neat and beautiful.
Third, wall-mounted toilet installation precautions
Wall-hung toilets are, after all, a new species, and the requirements for decoration will be higher. Below, we will organise some things to pay attention to when installing.
Be sure to communicate with the designer and decoration company
The idea of installing a wall-mounted toilet should be communicated in time when the designer understands the requirements. In this way, the location of the toilet and the design related to the false wall, etc. will be planned in the design drawings. Delivery and installation of wall hung toilets are done in two stages as the cistern needs to be hidden in the wall. At the time of construction delivery, it is necessary to communicate with the project manager, foreman or toilet manufacturer to determine the location of the toilet.
Knock on the key: before tiling, be sure to confirm the toilet installation.
Toilet height should be controlled
Wall-mounted toilet is too high off the ground, sit on the ground can only toe point; too short, after the installation of the bottom almost to the ground, and had to rework. Therefore, it is very important to control the height of the toilet. Many people through the fixed screw rod to the ground distance, the centre point of the outlet to the ground distance to measure, but due to the brand model is not the same, sometimes not very accurate.
Generally speaking, the toilet should be installed and the calf height is equivalent, the bottom of the toilet is 10 cm from the ground. Reference to these two data, and then according to the situation of their own ground treatment, you can pour out the installation height of the tank bracket. But a family of men, women and children with huge differences in height, can not only consider the needs of one person, so also have to consider comprehensively. If necessary, you can prepare a toilet stool.
Knock on the key: the construction process and plumbing, tiling master to repeatedly confirm the size, so as not to forget.
Don’t forget to reserve water and electricity
If you use a wall-mounted integrated smart toilet or smart toilet cover, remember to pre-bury water and electricity in advance. At the same time, to add a tee in the toilet water outlet, a water line used to flush the toilet, a water line used to connect the toilet cover. It is best to reserve a socket by the toilet for mobile phone charging. If you are worried about water vapour, it is best to buy a socket with a waterproof shell.
Pay attention to the symmetry of the buttons
If the wall-mounted toilet is installed on one side of the wall or the sewerage pipe, then you must pay attention to the symmetry of the key. Since the tank is installed in the rough state, the symmetrical size of the key calculated in this state is different from the final completion.
This is because the tiles affixed to the sewer wrap will eat up roughly 2-3cm of space to the left of the key, ultimately resulting in an asymmetry between the left and right of the key. Therefore, in this installation case, when installing the water tank, please be sure to leave more tile thickness on the left side of the key.
Fourth, summary and recommendation
In summary, the wall-mounted toilet in the practicality, aesthetics and the use of space are outstanding. Although the price is a little higher and the installation requirements are more stringent, but the convenience and comfort it brings is incomparable to ordinary toilets. Especially for small families, wall-mounted toilets are ideal for saving space and improving quality of life.
Therefore, we highly recommend that you consider installing a wall-hung toilet. Whether from the perspective of long-term use, or from the perspective of improving the aesthetics of the home, wall-hung toilets are a worthwhile investment. Of course, it’s important to be fully prepared and planned before installation to ensure that the process goes smoothly and that you enjoy all the conveniences that a wall-hung toilet brings.
