Traditional floor-mounted WCs are increasingly being replaced in modern bathroom design by chic wall-mounted WCs. The key contrast is that the wall-mounted ones have a hidden water tank while the floor-mounted ones are connected to the wall using screws.
Before making a full bathroom makeover decision and purchasing one for your kitchen bathroom renovations here is all you need to know about the two types of toilets. There are two types of floor-mounted models: one-piece, which separates the flush tank and bowl sections, and two-piece, which merges the two into a single component. Although they come in a variety of designs and hues, ivory and white are by far the most popular.
Advantages
The low cost and easy availability of replacement parts make floor-mounted WCs low maintenance. They are fixed directly on the floor, which makes them more stable than wall-hung ones.
Disadvantages
One of the biggest drawbacks is that it seems hefty, which makes a small bathroom feel even smaller. The fact that some toilet areas, including the space between the toilet and the wall or the toilet's connection with the floor, are challenging to access is another drawback of these toilets.
In a wall-mounted model, only the WC bowl protrudes from the wall, giving the space a tidy, uncluttered, and streamlined appearance.
The four parts are a wall tank, a flush actuator that manages the water flow, a toilet bowl, and a seat.
Some models come equipped with cutting-edge elements like a dual-flush cistern and an actuator button to help conserve water.
How?
The amount of water used can be managed by the user thanks to these toilets' two buttons for flushing more or less water.
Advantages
A wall-mounted model has a modern appearance, takes up less area, and is perfect for tiny bathrooms because it allows for more legroom.
The wall-mounted one gives the impression that it is hung above the floor, giving the bathroom a spacious aspect.
Another benefit is the ability to adjust the wall-mounted installation height to the user's height, which makes it more ergonomic and comfortable to use.
Because the WC does not touch the floor, the bathroom is cleaner and more hygienic.
Disadvantages
The price of wall-mounted options is higher than floor-mounted options, and installation calls for thicker walls. The concealed flush cistern can be mounted on the exterior wall, or an additional wall needs to be created to achieve the necessary wall thickness. The flush tank is buried, making it difficult to access for repairs, and the installation process can be a little challenging.
However, some wall-mounted models come with an access panel that may be utilised for maintenance incorporated right into the unit.
Additionally, wall-mounted ones require routine repair because their brackets and bolts become looser over time from repeated use.
