When it comes to bathroom design, wall-hung toilets have become a symbol of sleek elegance and space-saving efficiency. These pans have gained popularity over the years for their minimal visual design, easy cleaning, and functionality. In recent years, these toilets have become a common appearance in old-fashioned bathrooms as well as modern bathrooms. Read on to learn more about everything you’ll need when purchasing a wall-hung loo and the benefits they bring.
What is a Wall Hung Toilet?
Wall-hung toilets are similar to your standard back-to-wall toilet except they appear to ‘float’ against a wall. These toilets aren’t just drilled into a wall, they are supported by a wall-hung support frame and cistern which is hidden from sight, also known as concealed.
Benefits of a Wall-Hung Toilet
- Increased perception of space: wall-hung toilets are a great way to make your bathroom appear larger – this is due to the illusion they create by being hung from the wall as opposed to floor standing.
- Accessibility: those with health conditions or impairments find them more functional as the support frame can be adjusted at various heights. This creates less strain on the body when both standing up and sitting down.
- Low-Maintenance: with no floor fixings, wall-hung toilets are easier to clean as you have the ability to sweep and mop directly underneath.
What You Will Need
Don’t forget, you will need to purchase these essentials to complete your wall-hung toilet installation:
- Wall-hung toilet pan
