Bathroom Design: Is it better to have a floor-mounted WC or a wall-mounted WC?
by Angel Smith Seo SpecialistIn current bathroom design, traditional floor-mounted WCs
are increasingly being replaced by fashionable wall-mounted WCs. The main
distinction is that the floor-mounted ones are bolted to the floor, whilst the
wall-mounted ones are fixed to the wall and include a hidden water tank.
Here's all you need to know about both types of toilets
before you go full bathroom renovation
option and buy one for your bathroom.
Floor-mounted models come in two styles: one-piece, which combines the flush
tank and bowl into a single piece, and two-piece, which separates the bowl and
tank portions. These come in various styles and colours, but the most common
are ivory and white.
Advantages
Floor-mounted WCs are inexpensive, and replacement
components are readily available, making them simple to maintain. Furthermore,
they are more stable than wall-hung ones because they are mounted directly on
the floor.
Disadvantages
One of the most significant downsides is that it appears
bulky, making a tiny bathroom feel even smaller. Another disadvantage is that these toilets
are difficult to clean and maintain since some toilet places, such as the
junction between the toilet and the floor or the gap between the toilet and the
wall, are difficult to reach.
Only the WC bowl projects from the wall in a wall-mounted
one, giving the bathroom a clean, clutter-free, and streamlined appearance.
A wall tank, a flush actuator that controls the flow of
water, a toilet bowl, and a seat is among the four components.
Some models include innovative features such as a dual-flush
cistern and an actuator button to assist save water.
How?
These toilets have two buttons for flushing less or more
water, allowing the user to control the amount of water utilised.
Advantages
A wall-mounted version looks sleek, saves space, and is
ideal for small bathrooms because it provides extra legroom.
The floating effect created by the wall-mounted one being
suspended above the floor level provides the bathroom with a vast appearance.
Another advantage is that the wall-mounted installation
height may be modified to fit the user's height, making it more ergonomic and
comfortable to operate.
The bathroom is easier to clean and more hygienic because
the WC does not touch the floor.
Disadvantages
Wall-mounted varieties are more expensive than floor-mounted
versions, and installation requires thicker walls. The concealed flush cistern
can be fixed on the external wall, or an extra wall must be built to obtain the
appropriate wall thickness for the concealed flush cistern. The installation
process is a little tricky, and because the flush tank is hidden, it's tough to
get to it for repairs.
On the other hand, some wall-mounted models have a built-in
access panel that can be used for maintenance.
Furthermore, wall-mounted ones necessitate periodic
maintenance because their brackets and bolts loosen over time due to continual
use.
