Why Wall-Mounted Toilets Are Gaining Popularity in Modern Bathrooms?
Wall-mounted toilets are becoming increasingly popular due to their stylish design, space-saving features, ease of cleaning, and customizable height. They offer a modern alternative to traditional toilets, making them an attractive option for contemporary bathrooms. As more homeowners seek to create functional yet aesthetically pleasing spaces, wall-mounted toilets are likely to remain a favored choice.
Wall-Hung Toilets Description
Wall-hung toilets are innovative fixtures that offer a modern and space-saving solution for bathrooms, which are Mounted directly onto the wall. The flushing components of wall-hung toilets are concealed within the wall or a carrier system to create a streamlined and space-saving design.
The Difference Between Wall-Hung Toilets and Floor-mounted Toilets
Wall-hung toilets and floor-mounted toilets differ in installation method, appearance, and cleaning ease. Wall-hung toilets are mounted directly onto the wall, creating a modern and minimalist look. In addition, wall-hung toilets are easier to clean underneath due to their elevated design, floor-mounted toilets may require more effort to clean around the base and floor area.
The Importance of Wall-Hung Toilets
1.Space-saving Design: Wall-hung toilets are suspended from the wall, creating an open and airy look in the bathroom, making the space feel larger.
2.Easy Cleaning: The wall-hung toilet is not in direct contact with the floor; there are fewer areas for dirt and grime to accumulate.
3.Modern Appearance: Wall-hung toilets typically have a sleek and contemporary design that complements modern bathroom styles.
4.Hidden Tank Option: Some wall-hung toilets from HOROW come with concealed tanks installed within the wall, further enhancing the toilet's streamlined appearance and saving space in the bathroom.
How Does a Wall-Hung Toilet Work?
A wall-hung toilet features a unique design that allows it to be mounted directly on the wall, eliminating the traditional pedestal and tank. Instead, the bowl appears to "float" above the floor.
To flush, users simply press a button located on the actuator mounted on the wall. This actuator typically offers both full and partial flush options.
Behind the wall, a compact water tank is housed within a sturdy steel frame, called a carrier frame, which is anchored securely to the floor and wall studs. The toilet bowl attaches to this frame, ensuring stability.
Once plumbing is set, drywall is added to conceal the installation. The toilet is bolted into place on the carrier, requiring a compatible frame for proper alignment.
The tank is a single, molded plastic unit designed to prevent leaks and condensation. Its flush mechanism functions like a standard toilet but is more self-contained, minimizing potential malfunctions. For any needed repairs inside the tank, there's enough space for easy access.
Factors Affecting the Weight Support of Wall-Mounted Toilets
Bowl Construction: Must be made from durable materials designed to fit the mounting system, ensuring adequate load support.
Strength of the Carrier Frame: The frame, typically steel, needs to support at least 500 pounds. The material and the quality of brackets and bolts directly impact load capacity.
Wall Structure: The wall's materials (brick, drywall, or concrete) are crucial. Old or damaged wooden studs will significantly lower load capacity.
Weight Distribution: Weight should be evenly distributed across the frame to prevent deformation or damage.
Installation Quality: Proper alignment and secure fastening are essential for stability. Poor installation can lead to safety issues, requiring professional help.Even loose washers or over-tightened bolts can increase wear and reduce weight capacity over time. If not caught early, this can lead to expensive and dangerous issues.The steel frame itself weighs between 50 and 80 pounds, which also decreases the toilet's surface weight capacity. Therefore, ensuring that the wall-mounted toilet is installed correctly and securely the first time is crucial. This often requires hiring an experienced plumber or installer, as installing a floating toilet is not a DIY weekend project for home improvement novices.
Maintenance and Care: Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to ensure stability and prevent structural issues.
