Wall-hung toilet with installation: what is, how to choose and install?

Today, to replace the standard floor toilets are increasingly coming elegant and miniature hanging models.

Suspended toilets can not hang in the air. The component of the set of such a construction is always an installation. It is a support for a suspended toilet, decorated and hidden by a false wall.

Important features of this unique system are several important points.

• Drain tank with pipes for water and sewage, packed in the installation. It is made, as a rule, from strong seamless plastic.
• The front panel is only a drain button, which is often divided into two halves. One of the buttons drains the water at a low speed, the second gives the pressure a little faster and more powerful.
• The maximum load that such structures can withstand is up to 400 kg.
• Installations can be sold separately, and can go immediately bundled with a suitable toilet.
• The possibility of installing a suspended structure not only to the wall or the floor of the bathroom. You can build an autonomous solid partition, which will be the basis for such a toilet.

Some of the advantages were disguised as features of the building.

The second part can be distinguished separately:

• optimization of space in the toilet;
• minimization of noise of a cistern;
• comfort of the cleaning process.

There are many positive aspects of using toilet bowls with an installation. But sometimes the disadvantages come up not the most pleasant, which also need to know:

The installation of the installation and the toilet takes a lot of effort, time and energy. For the installation of such a structure, it is necessary to possess at least minimal plumbing and engineering knowledge and skills.

To arrange the installation, it may be necessary to create an additional recess in the wall of the bathroom or a small decrease in its area due to the installation of false walls.

Despite the presence of a special window located behind the flush buttons panel and providing access to the main plumbing communications, it may sometimes be necessary to have a more thorough examination of the "entrails" that your beautiful lining hides.

Having stopped the choice on a suspended design, be ready to pay the double price: for a toilet bowl and for installation separately. Even kits that include both elements are not at a very economical cost.

Entrepreneurial manufacturers began to gradually fill the market with the most unusual models. Sometimes it seems as if they were trying to make a completely new plumbing product that would not even remotely resemble floor structures that were annoying to the human eye. And we are talking here not only about toilet bowls, but also about the ways of its fastening to the wall. Of course, the practical and functional aspects also yielded to thorough analysis and high-quality design.

Installations for toilet bowls are of two types:

• block;
• framework.

Block designs are plastic tanks framed with a sturdy metal frame.Can be used for both outdoor and suspended devices. It is important to understand that such a system is only suitable if the wall in which the installation is installed is strong enough to withstand the load on the wall of the bathroom.

Frame installations are a monolithic stable construction of metal profiles, which can exist completely autonomously. All the "behind the scenes" are framed with a kind of frame, which allows you to mount the installation even in a plasterboard niche.

To choose a decent design, pay attention to some important points.

• Before you go to the store, be sure to measure the place where the installation will be installed. If, however, the required size was not available for sale, it is possible to purchase a structure with moving frame elements in order to bring it to the required state on the spot.
• Having stopped the choice on a specific model of installation, carefully consider all the components. Sometimes there are problems with the shortage of any spare parts.This fact spoils the mood for work and makes you spend precious time looking for missing items.

• Pay attention to the method of mounting the installation to the wall. You may need to purchase additional parts.
• The flush button is sometimes allowed to choose from the range of one or another supplier. It is worth asking about this opportunity from the seller. Today, double keys have become very convenient, which allow you to adjust the pressure of flushing water. So, there is a saving of liquid.
• Well, the most recent recommendation would be, perhaps, the purchase of the installation immediately with the toilet. This is necessary in order to assess the possibility of attaching one to another on the spot.

The basic configuration of any installation looks like this:

• main frame;
• all necessary fixing materials;
• plastic drain tank;
• flush key;
• adapter for flushing knee;
• soundproofing materials.

Many manufacturers, caring for the precious time of their customers, present a choice of a number of installations with ready-made solutions in the form of suspended toilet bowls.

Selecting a toilet model for your bathroom, decide, first of all, what additional functions and accessories you would like to see in it. For example, a kit with a bidet function and a built-in hairdryer has a high cost, but fully justifies it, since for this price you almost get two devices in one.

Models of suspended structures with a key allow you to select the required water pressure for flushing, as mentioned earlier. However, as practice shows, such buttons break and fail at least standard ones. Therefore, the choice is yours.

The main materials, of which today in the construction market can be found hanging toilets, almost remained unchanged, in comparison with the floor structures.So, for example, acquiring sanitary ware from porcelain, you pay a high price for the quality of this category. Porcelain toilet bowls are famous for their durability, durability and aesthetic function.

Faience, covered with a special protective glaze, practically does not differ from the previous material, except for the price. Such products also have high strength and aesthetic appearance. But when choosing hanging toilet bowls from faience it is worth paying attention to the absence of chips and cracks on the product, as well as the manufacturer and its packaging. It is better, of course, to opt for a well-known brand with a good reputation.

There is also a small percentage of ceramic-covered toilets. But it is very important that the fragility of the material does not allow it to be used with a load of more than 150-200 kg. Ceramics also do not suffer mechanical damage and may simply split at the most inopportune moment.

Original designs of devices for bathrooms from metal or glass, perhaps, remain design tricks at exhibitions or in trading floors. They have not yet reached people's dwellings.

Designers have no limits on the form.This applies not only to the toilet, but also their attachment points. Due to the fact that installations can be installed both in a niche, a plasterboard wall, and act as an autonomous structure in the middle of a bathroom, you can play with the design of a room under a bathroom in any way possible. Of course, while carrying out repairs in a standard city apartment, we don’t have to go too far, since the sewer and plumbing systems are set according to the standard and like everyone else. Working in a private house, you are free to dispose of pipes, as your heart desires.

The shape of the toilet cisterns does not in any way affect the dimensions of the toilet room. But it greatly affects the comfortable use of this device.

Today, there are three variations of the toilet bowl:

• visor;
• funnel shaped;
• disc.

The most impractical is the last. It is equipped with a special device that protects against splashing water, but is very difficult to clean. The funnel has a great resemblance to standard floor constructions, but the washout is very long and painful. Basically, in modern homes used canopy bowls hanging toilet bowls.

As for the overall concept and appearance of the plumbing device, the designers here have done a great job. Often, the original forms (square, egg, rectangle, trapezium) are installed in those toilet rooms where it is necessary to observe the unity of the design style. In standard rooms, toilets of the oval, round, semicircular shape are most often used.

In total there are three options for the sizes of bowls of toilet bowls along the length:

• compact - up to 54 cm, ideal for small rooms;
• standard - up to 60 cm, the most popular average size;
• enlarged - up to 70 cm, suitable for use by older people and people with limited physical abilities.

As for the dimensions of the installation itself, there are special indications for height and width.depending directly on the room where it will be installed and your personal preferences. Standard constructions in building stores assume the height of frame installations ranging from 1,100 mm to 1,400 mm, block ones - from 1 to 1.5 meters. Do not forget that the depth of the niche for the installation of the drain tank must necessarily be equal to the width of the metal frame in which it is enclosed. This is necessary in order to make the installation of a suspended toilet as accurately as possible, quickly and without additional tools.

We are all used to seeing white toilet bowls. Today, finally, you can get out of monochrome captivity and plunge into the arms of color and a riot of colors. Of course, any color scheme of a suspended toilet and its installation should be subject to the overall design of the room.

Standard white, pearl, with a gray crumb - these variations take place to be practically in every toilet, because their universality lies in the fact that they fit any design and any color solution of the room.

Today in the construction market you can find all the colors of the rainbow: yellow, red, olive, green and even black. Choose the scale according to your feelings and desires, and then even this place will bring you joy.

Part of the information on how to choose a fixing system for a suspended toilet has already been described. However, I would like to dwell on additional points.

When planning to install a suspended structure, pay attention to the corner installation. It perfectly saves space in the bathroom and looks unusual and cozy. Carefully study the composition and fastening of the frame of this design to avoid trouble.

When choosing a toilet toilet, pay special attention to the drain. To date, there are two ways to flush water.

1. Horizontal. It is also called direct. Standardly, water is supplied under pressure from the back of the bowl, bypasses the entire circumference of the toilet bowl and goes to the drain.Some users complain about the presence of minor, but splashing around the structure.
2. Circular. This is a reverse flush method. Here, water is evenly distributed around the entire perimeter of the bowl, as it enters from several openings. This method allows you to remove all the dirt from the bowl, even without the use of additional physical force with a brush in hand.

To install the entire complex, it is best to contact a specialist in this matter, but if you decide to replace the plumbing yourself, follow several golden rules.

Installing a new toilet in the toilet can not do without dismantling the old plumbing. Therefore, before starting installation of the suspended structure, clean the old toilet and clean the room. The first step also involves the removal of all fasteners, skins and other things so that you can get to the main wall of the room.

The next point is the layout and assembly of the frame. First of all, the moving components are fixed to the wall, their optimal length is established. The frame of the installation is placed vertically, everything is checked by the construction level.At the bottom of the frame structure there are special height screws that can be adjusted to correctly set the horizontal position of the installation. And only after that you mark with a pencil the places of future holes. After completion of the preliminary marking work, attach the frame to the toilet wall.

The fourth stage involves water connections. In different models of tanks in the installation there are two types of water hose connections: side and top. All necessary parts, as a rule, are already available in the kit, neither sealing, nor sealing is required.

The next step is the withdrawal of the sewer pipe. Here you will need an additional elbow, which will serve as an intermediary between the sewer pipe itself and the toilet drain.

This is followed by the process of decorating the installation, the installation of the so-called false walls. Variations on this topic abound. You can sheathe the frame structure with drywall, leaving a window for installing the flush button, which will also serve as a hatch for controlling the system as a whole. At the same stage, insulation of the cistern is arranged.

And at the finish line you can connect a wall-mounted toilet to the water supply and sewage systems and check the operation of all systems. Attached wall mounted toilet to the wall, to which you can also attach a foam pad (it usually comes bundled with the entire system). It softens friction and prolongs the service life of both the wall and the plumbing fixture.

It is important to remember that the comfort and long service life of the toilet with a toilet installation is directly affected by the quality of their installation. Therefore, if you set about this business on your own, several times check back all the little things and nuances, without which the installation will be incomplete and short-lived.

Among the most popular plumbing brands can be identified as follows: Roca (Spain), Jacob Delafon (France), Geberit (Switzerland), Grohe (Germany) and Cersanit (Poland).

All of them offer ready-made solutions - a set of wall-mounted toilet with installation. Prices jump from Polish to Swiss in the range of 5,000-30,000 rubles. At the same time, the quality does not jump at all. In the first place in terms of popularity and service life - Geberit and grohe. These companies have long been a leader in the construction markets around the world. But even their Polish counterparts Cersanit can boast of European quality.Recently, the French brand Jacob is firmly stepping onto the plumbing arena. Delafon. This producer bewitches his customers with unusual forms of bowls and colors.

Choosing a wall-mounted toilet with an installation, focus on the design of the bathroom, the parameters and needs of all family members, their own preferences and material capabilities. Of course, today you can find a number of economical solutions. Productions of Turkey or China, eg. However, such models are recommended to be purchased only if you have studied all their characteristics, felt and tried to sit. Otherwise, you risk spending money on short-term pleasure.

Buyers of suspended toilet bowls with installation were divided into two camps - conservatives and progressive users. The “overseas things” are alien to the first category, and they are more accustomed to installing, maintaining and washing standard floor constructions.

Progressive users find a large number of advantages in the use of suspended toilet models with installations:

• compact size;
• possibility of individual design of the bathroom;
• large selection of colors;
• convenience and comfort.
