Wall Hung Toilet

By InfoArsenal

If you're looking to add a little European style to your bathroom, you'll want to take a look at replacing your toilet with a wall hung toilet.  These toilets are contemporary and cool.  They also take up less space than traditional toilets, so they are a great way to save space in smaller bathrooms.  If you are a design minimalist, then this is the toilet for you, these toilets hide unsightly bowls, and have a much smaller and less noticeable appearance in a room.  No longer will your bathroom be overwhelmed by some giant white toilet covered in condensation, you can now have a toilet that serves its purpose but has a more "barely there" look and feel.

With these toilets, all the unsightly bits are stuffed behind the wall, leaving only the bowl exposed, and a push-button flusher.

The Mighty Wall Hung Toilet

It might look like these toilets are weak or unstable, but with the help of the wall hung toilet frame which is incredibly strong and mounted within the wall, these toilets can hold weights of 750-1000 lbs. This should accommodate just about any user.

Most floor standing toilets are of a standard height with little deviation. With a wall mounted toilet, you can take into account the height and weights of its most frequent users and adjust the height accordingly.

Cleaning around your Kohler wall hung toilet is also much easier than cleaning around a standard toilet. Since it's off the ground and mounted straight to the wall, you can easily sweep and mop under and around it. Compare this to trying to clean around the back of a traditional toilet, which can be a real pain, especially it it's in a corner.

If you're looking for the highest quality, buy a Geberit wall hung toilet.  They have been in the toilet business since 1874 and are dedicated to providing their customers with the best toilets on the market.  Another very good company in this area is Kohler.

The Dual Flush Wall Hung Toilet

If you're looking for an eco-friendly wall hung toilet, they make something called a dual flush toilet. This type of toilet has two different buttons to push for flushing. One is for liquid waste, which requires much less water to dispose of, and the other is for solid waste. Since most toilet usage involves liquid waste, this type of toilet can save 10,000 or more gallons of water a year.  This is an incredible amount of water saved, and a great easy way for any household to advance their water conservation efforts.

Whether you're remodeling your bathroom, or just looking for an interesting way to give your bathroom some European style, then have a look into installing a wall hung toilet.  They add much more design style than another space saving option - the corner toilet.  Not only will it save space, but it makes it easier to clean your bathroom, and gives your bathroom some contemporary appeal.

Great Hub. One benefit of a wall hung toilet is that it provides the bathroom with clean lines. The lines that are created by the wall hung toilet helps turn the bathroom into a stylish room that can complement the rest of your home's decor.

Another pro of having a wall hung toilet in your bathroom is that it takes up a minimal amount of space. Because it is hung to the wall it takes up no floor space like a conventional toilet does.

Have you thought of using Geberit to support your wall-hung toilet?
