Anyone else who sees a wall mounted toilet will be heartwarming! If you put aside the price, I am afraid that many people will choose this kind of wall-hung toilet. But how effective is the use of wall toilets? Is it as useful as rumored? We will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of wall toilets today, as well as installation considerations.
Advantages and disadvantages of wall toilets
Advantage 1. No dead space
Floor-to-ceiling toilets also have a hygiene blind spot: behind the toilet, a thick layer of dust accumulates in the gap between the toilet and the wall, and there is no way to remove it. A toilet on the wall, on the other hand, does not need to consider this problem, because it is attached to the wall and there is no gap. In addition, the toilet and the floor are not directly connected together, so it is easy to clean the bottom of the toilet with a cleaning apparatus.
Advantage 2. Aesthetics
Most people like to use wallpaper just to look good. Judging from the shape, wall toilets do not have large sinks, and the whole shape is more compact and delicate. Especially in small bathrooms, this wall potty gives people a much greater sense of "space" than the average one.
Disadvantage: Too expensive
The biggest problem with wall toilets is that they are expensive. The wall toilet is divided into two parts: the potty and the sink, both of which have to be purchased and assembled separately. A wall toilet, at the very least, plus installation costs, almost three times as much as a normal toilet.
Today's smart toilet covers are so popular that the average toilet only needs a smart seat. A corner toilet is more complicated to update and it is not possible to use a smart toilet cover, you have to replace it with an intelligent wall, which requires an additional expensive cost.
In addition to the few common advantages and disadvantages mentioned above, the installation process of the wall panel can also affect its comfort. Here are the two most important construction steps.
The wall pump must also be used for flushing and there must also be a sink. But this sink cannot be seen from the outside, because this sink is hidden in the wall. "Hidden" in two ways.
The first method is to bury the wall inside the wall, which ensures a flat wall surface. However, when erecting it, the wall must be punched through. The toilet sink is usually very thick, and in the case of an ordinary partition, the whole thing has to be cut through in order to tuck it into the sink.
In this case, the appearance will be a little more beautiful, but it also brings some problems that people can not afford. For example, the flushing sound of the toilet will be transmitted to the house next to it; the smell of the toilet will also make people feel uncomfortable.
The second method is to add a wigwam to the original wall and then put the sink into the wall. In this case, the wall will no longer be a problem, it will just make the wall a little thinner, but occupy a much smaller area compared to the toilet on the ground. This is the most valuable way to build.
When building walls, it is recommended to build only the lower half. The upper half can be used for an electric hot water heater or as a small room, simply to make full use of it.
And inside the house, toilets and drains are on the floor. If you want to install a wall toilet, you must replace the drain hole with a wall. There are three common ways of retrofitting.
1. Cut the old pipe and put the bent pipe on the wall. But this will create three 90 degree bends, which will have a great impact on the air pressure inside the exhaust pipe. Many people believe that the power of the toilet on the wall is weaker because the pipes have not been properly modified.
2. The displacement device is placed on the old pipe, the displacement device is extended to the wall, and then a bending device is installed on the wall. The drainage efficiency of this process is mainly determined by the distance between the old drainage pipe and the wall. If the distance is shorter and the displacement mechanism is bent to a lesser extent, a better drainage can be obtained.
3. Close the old drain and make another hole in the vertical pipe to connect a new water pipe wall. The technique is simple and easy to implement, but a lateral section of pipe will be created in the new pipe. If the lateral is too large, it can also cause some obstruction to drainage. It is suitable for applications where the distance between the commode and the vertical pipe is small.
