How to choose an installation for a wall-hung toilet: types of installations, selection criteria

Now it has become more and more fashionable to buy hanging toilet bowls. So what? It looks futuristic and neat, does not take up a lot of space and is more convenient to wash. One problem: unlike the familiar and familiar cistern, the mysterious wall behind the toilet, called an installation, hides so many secrets.

It's one thing when you see her in a public place or at a party, and quite another - when something like that is to be installed in your house. To save you time that you might be spending on inquiries, I suggest reading this article first.

Criteria for choosing a toilet installation

First, let's figure out what kind of "beast" is this? And he is not scary at all... An installation is simply a frame on which a toilet bowl, a cistern, and pipes are attached. Of course, it is very durable, because in addition to all this, it will have to withstand the weight of people from time to time.

First of all, start your choice with... a button. Are you surprised? In fact, one of the most common mistakes I see is when a client thinks of a button last, because it's such a small thing. He carefully thinks over all the nuances of the installation, installs it, and only then realizes: the only thing that his guests will see from all this is the ill-fated button. And she, here's the trouble, does not fit in any way with the design of the toilet. He goes to the store after another - and the choice of those that are suitable specifically for his model is small, and sometimes there is none at all.

Attention! It is much easier to first find several options for the buttons of your dreams, and then, among the installations to which they are attached, choose the right one.

Of course, there is no point in going to the store until you have taken all measurements of the space at home. Psychics are rarely hired as salespeople. For the lazy, there are models with sliding top drains that are set to the required width, but they load the wall much more than others.

Installation standard complete set:

• bearing frame;
• a set of fasteners;
• cistern;
• button;
• flush bend adapter;
• soundproofing.

If some of this is not included in the set of the model you need, I recommend buying it right away in the store. Do not be fooled by the tricks of the sellers who may say, "We don't have this, but other stores do." In this case, it is better to look for another model, more complete. Perhaps in another store.

Reference! Anchor bolts are usually not included in the standard composition, but they will definitely be needed if the structure is attached to a solid wall.

Installation types

Despite the large number of subspecies, there are three main varieties.

The first is block. This is a metal box to which everything you need is attached, including the toilet itself. Interestingly, it is also suitable for floor models. Such an installation is fixed only on the main walls. Usually it is placed either in an already existing niche, or in a niche specially created for this purpose. This is one of the most common options due to its low cost.

The second is frame. As the name suggests, this is a frame that can be attached not only to the wall, but also to the floor. It is more versatile than the previous one and is suitable for fixing not only a toilet, but also a sink or bidet.

The third is corner. Most expensive model. But it saves space the most. Such a structure can also be attached to the wall and to the floor.

Which installation for a wall-hung toilet is better to choose

There are, of course, objective criteria in this matter, but there are no less subjective criteria. Each buyer chooses according to his needs. I can give examples of several especially popular options, and it's up to you to decide which of these is right for you:

1. Grohe Rapid SL. Consumers love it because it is easily installed independently, without masters, and is connected to the water supply without additional tools. It has a pneumatic flush system, which allows the installation to be positioned farther from the toilet than models with a mechanical one. There are three flush modes and high sound insulation.
2. Grohe Solido Perfect. Convenient in that it does not require additional preparation for facing work. You don't have to buy any additional fasteners either. Well, in order to completely "finish off" the buyer with convenience - the toilet is also included in the kit. That is, for one purchase, you get everything at all. Flushing - dual-mode pneumatics. There are many nice "buns": seat microlift, isolation of the tank from condensation (this means no mold), three-way water supply.
3. Roca Dama Senso. Another completely ready-made kit. It is loved by customers for its stylish appearance (like a toilet bowl with a microlift and anti-splash, like a button - a feast for the eyes) and the strength of the frames.
4. Roca The Gap. Equipped with a fashionable rimless toilet with increased hygiene and a cistern with soundproofing.
5. Geberit Duofix Delta. Convenient for those who are afraid to make a mistake in calculating the correct height (for example, for those who want to place an installation under a window): the frame legs are smoothly adjustable. Condensation protection is also available.

As you can see, there are plenty to choose from. And now you also know how to do it correctly and what to look for in the first place. Happy shopping!
