What is a hanging toilet

79

Suspended toilet bowl is not something new and many users have already been able to appreciate all its advantages. It favorably complements the design of the room, allows you to save space and greatly simplifies cleaning. You will no longer see the drain tank and communications — all these details are hidden in the wall. Today we will understand the features of such plumbing and how to choose it correctly.

Design features

The hanging toilet system consists of four main components:

  1. the installation system is a special metal frame that is mounted and hidden in the wall;
  2. toilet bowl - the bowl is fixed to the frame;
  3. flat tank - fixed in the installation system;
  4. plum button - installed on the wall above the toilet.

Most manufacturers implement installation systems and hanging bowls separately. This allows you to independently choose the most suitable design or choose the optimal seat height.

If over time the design of the toilet gets boring and you want to change it to another one, there will be no problems with replacing products of the same brand. After all, the same diameters of nozzles and holes, as well as the distances between them, are made for all production.

Advantages and disadvantages

Hanging models have a number of advantages compared to conventional floor models:

  1. they look aesthetic and modern;
  2. have a low noise level when draining;
  3. take up little space;
  4. use water sparingly.

Thanks to the hinged design, there are no more hard-to-reach places for cleaning in the bathroom.

The main disadvantages of hanging toilets:

  1. high cost compared to conventional models;
  2. hidden installation makes repair problematic in the event of a breakdown.

Criterias of choice

In order for sanitary ware to serve for a long time, be functional and practical, the following should be taken into account when buying:

  1. Choose an installation system and a wall-hung toilet from one manufacturer. Only in this case, there will be no problems with the installation.
  2. Give preference to products made of sanitary porcelain. Compared to ceramics, it is resistant to mechanical damage, moisture and does not absorb odors. Chips and cracks do not form on it.
  3. It is better to buy rimless models, because such a bowl is easier to clean, bacteria does not accumulate in it, and washing with water is several times more effective.
  4. The product should fit well into the interior, so choose a toilet in the same style as other sanitary ware in the bathroom.

Since the installation system has hidden installation and repairs are extremely difficult, you should buy high-quality products in which the risk of damage is reduced to almost zero. The manufacturer plays an important role here. The brand is a name behind serious scientific laboratories, many years of experience and, as a result, a quality product. The best manufacturers are Grohe, Roca, Ifo, AM.PM, Laufen.




For example, the German brand Grohe has been on the market for more than 80 years and provides its customers with a minimum 11-year warranty on installation systems, and 6 years on wall-hung toilets. Advantages of their production:

  1. The wall-hung toilet is made of high-quality sanitary faience. The special smooth coating of GROHE PureGuard does not accumulate dirt and has antibacterial properties. It greatly simplifies cleaning and makes the product hygienic.
  2. Installation systems have a durable steel frame with powder coating. Thanks to the GROHE Whisper technology, a high level of noise insulation is provided, and the GROHE EcoJoy double flush technology allows you to reduce water consumption by up to 50%.
  3. Grohe wall-hung toilets can withstand a load of up to 400 kg.

The entire system is easily mounted thanks to Grohe QuickFix technology. You can install it yourself without using additional tools.
