The decoration of a bathroom determines the quality of your life, improves the comfort of the bathroom, and enjoys a healthier and more convenient life. Many people choose practical wall-mounted toilets. Many people still have certain concerns about wall-hung toilets, so let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of wall-hung toilets together.
What is a Wall Hung Toilet:
The wall-mounted toilet is a new type of toilet, its appearance is more beautiful and concise than ordinary toilets, and it is a new landscape of toilets. Hanging toilet, so the name suggests is the toilet hanging on the wall. It is also known as a hanging toilet, or a wall-mounted toilet.
Is the wall-mounted toilet good?
It is combined with a concealed water tank to form a complete set of toilets. This type of toilet is common in developed countries in Europe and has been in use for more than 30 years. In China, it has gradually become popular in recent years. Some middle and high-end real estate and buildings have adopted hanging toilets, showing extraordinary quality and fashion.
Since the use of the hanging toilet also eliminates the dead corner of hygiene, it makes cleaning easier. The part of the traditional floor-standing toilet in contact with the ground, as well as the back, are not easy to clean and easy to breed bacteria. Hang the toilet without touching the ground, and there will be no dead corners, and the bathroom will become cleaner and more beautiful.
Advantages of wall-hung toilets:
1. It occupies a small space, suitable for old houses and master bathrooms. For small bathrooms, the space is more open.
2. Drainage on the same floor, if the toilet moves, you can use it to avoid the ground from rising.
3. The water tank is hidden in the wall, the sound of the water flow is small, and there is not much flushing noise.
4. Compared with the floor-standing toilet, the wall-mounted toilet is easy to clean, and it is not easy to leave a sanitary corner.
Disadvantages of wall-hung toilets:
1. The price is too expensive, the water tank and toilet are bought separately, and the total price is two or three times that of ordinary toilets.
2. The quality and technical requirements are high, and the quality of the water tank must pass the test. It is best not to buy ordinary small-brand products, and water leakage will cause trouble.
3. There is an inspection hole behind the cover plate, which is quite convenient, but it is necessary to ask a professional to operate it on-site.
Precautions for wall-mounted toilet installation:
1. The wall-mounted toilet looks simple and does not take up space, but the installation is actually very complicated. A false wall should be built behind the toilet, and the toilet bracket and water tank should be pre-embedded in the false wall. There must be a main drain pipe with a diameter of 110mm at one corner of the wall, and a tee should be left on the drain pipe to connect to the drain pipe behind the toilet. This set of sewer pipes is also all sealed in the false wall.
2. You can pass the water to the kitchen next door.
3. It may be necessary to re-drill the hole when entering the water. If there are residents under you, you must greet them as soon as possible, otherwise they will be renovated. Then I suggest you raise the floor of the bathroom.
4. The sewer is generally a 90° sewer pipe, so the position and frame size of the elbow must be provided. About 130mm is about right.
What should I pay attention to when choosing a wall-mounted toilet?
1、污水排放方式
Ground row: The sewage outlet of the toilet is on the ground, also called straight row. Most of the houses are like this, if it is this kind of drainage, you need to build a false wall to place your wall toilet.
Wall row: the sewage outlet of the toilet is on the wall, also called side row. Some of the modern new communities use this type of drainage, which can directly install the toilet on the wall, or re-build the wall according to the needs to arrange the position of the toilet.
2. Is the wall on which the toilet is hung load-bearing or non-load-bearing?
Load-bearing wall: Generally, it is necessary to build another false wall, reserve the water inlet and outlet pipes in the wall, reserve the installation position of the toilet, and reserve the drainage pipe connection.
Non-load-bearing wall: You can directly open holes in the wall, arrange a fixed frame, and install the fixed frame on the ground. At the same time, reserve the water inlet and outlet pipes and arrange the toilet position accurately.
3、坑距
Ground row pit distance: Usually we say that before choosing a toilet, we measure the distance between the center of the sewage outlet and the wall, which refers to the pit distance of the ground row structure toilet.
Wall row pit distance: If you install an in-wall toilet, you must first measure the height from the center of the sewage outlet to the ground, which is the wall row pit distance.
Note: The thickness of the tile should also be taken into account when measuring, and the measurement distance minus the thickness of the tile is about 1-2 cm.
4. Selection of in-wall water fittings
Because the water tank is hidden in the wall, the material, process and internal water parts of the water tank are more important. Whether it is HDPE (high-density polyethylene, which can be simply understood as advanced resin), or whether it is one-time blow molding, this directly determines the service life of the water tank. Water tanks with poor workmanship will easily leak, and the water inlet valve and drain valve also need high-quality verification, otherwise the hidden water tank will become a hidden trouble. When choosing a hidden water tank, you must consider whether the manufacturer is professional and has been verified by the public.
Note: Choose the concealed water tank into the wall carefully, and don’t let it become a concealed trouble.
Suggestions for choosing a wall-mounted toilet
If you choose a wall-mounted toilet, you must understand that the “toilet” and “into-the-wall water tank” need to be purchased separately. Generally speaking, relatively professional sanitary ware brands will produce wall-mounted toilets, while Geberit has the highest reputation and the most widely used in-wall “water tank” in the industry. Now many manufacturers of ceramic parts have begun to imitate the production of concealed water tanks, and the quality needs to be verified. Because the technical requirements of wall-mounted toilets are relatively high, if your home needs to choose a wall-mounted toilet, the best match is “Geberit water tank + international brand wall-mounted toilet”, followed by “Geberit water tank + domestic famous wall-mounted toilet”. Wall toilet”, the next step is “other brand water tank + small brand toilet”.
5. The installation should be more standardized
The wall-mounted water tank needs to be installed precisely, and it is more standardized than the installation of ordinary toilets. It should be carried out in strict accordance with the product’s installation manual, and it is best to be installed by professional technicians.
