In fact, most people will struggle with this problem when choosing a toilet. The traditional toilet has a sanitary corner, and the style looks high-grade and does not hang on the wall, while the wall-mounted toilet should be careful of its immature technology, maintenance and load-bearing problems.
Today we will start with: 1, the difference between wall-mounted toilets and traditional toilets. 2. Advantages and disadvantages of wall-mounted toilets. 3. How to choose a wall-mounted toilet? 4. How to install the wall-mounted toilet? How to design it? 5. What should I pay attention to when using the wall-mounted toilet? These five points work with you to solve all the problems of wall-mounted toilets, so that everyone knows how to choose.
First, the difference between wall-mounted toilets and traditional toilets
The picture above shows the comparison between the wall-mounted toilet and the traditional toilet, which is convenient for everyone to compare. The points listed are all a lot of questions asked by everyone. There are still many questions. If you want to know the difference, you can ask me in the comments section.
Second, the advantages and disadvantages of wall-mounted toilets
Advantages:
1, beautiful and simple, no dead angle, easy to clean.
The traditional floor-standing toilet is easy to produce sanitary dead angle because of its large contact with the ground and complex shape, and it will use a lot of glass glue, which is easy to yellow and stick to dust. Wall-hung toilet, as its name implies, is to hang the toilet, which is very convenient to clean the ground. Moreover, the toilet is simple and beautiful in shape, and the water tank is hidden, so it is convenient to clean without dead ends.
2, the flushing noise is low
Hidden water tanks and pipes are shielded by fake walls, with silencers and sound insulation pads inside and EPS foam sound insulation boards outside, which isolate the noise of water intake and drainage to the greatest extent. Especially friends who have the habit of getting up at night, no longer have to worry about affecting their family's sleep because of going to the toilet.
3, strong flushing force, not easy to block.
Because the hidden water tank is basically higher than the traditional toilet, the relative impulse will be greater. Moreover, most of the hidden water tanks are flushed down, so the probability of blockage of his sewage pipeline is small.
4. It can be shifted in the same layer, and the spatial layout is flexible.
This advantage is easily overlooked by many friends. Moreover, with our experience in designing so many wall-mounted toilets, we feel that this is the biggest advantage of wall-mounted toilets. At present, many home decoration is limited to the original developer or there is no caisson, which leads to limited layout of the bathroom. The wall-hung toilet can be used as the drainage system on the same floor, and the spatial layout can be changed according to everyone's needs and preferences to create a personalized living space.
From left to right, there are toilet hidden water tank, vertical hidden washbasin bracket (water supply and drainage integration and installation) and bathtub water supply and drainage.
Disadvantages:
1, with high cost.
Because the water tank and the toilet are separated, buying a wall-mounted toilet is generally two to three times as traditional.
2. Control quality.
Because hanging toilets are not as popular as traditional toilets, you should choose reliable manufacturers when choosing hanging toilets. The following will analyze in detail how to buy.
3, the installation is difficult
This aspect is left to professionals to operate, and the following will also explain the installation precautions for everyone.
PS: Finally, many friends asked about the difficulty of post-maintenance. Here, I can tell you that wall-mounted toilets have been introduced to China from Europe and America for many years. As long as you choose a brand with good reputation, there will be basically no problems, and the maintenance rate is lower than that of traditional toilets. Moreover, most of the wall-mounted toilet water tanks are made of HPDE material at one time, and there is no welding, so the quality is basically no problem.
Third, how to buy a wall-mounted toilet?
The first step is definitely to look at brands, each brand has its own advantages, and then we sort out more brands used in the 10 market for your reference.
The second step is to determine the hidden mode of the water tank, which should be selected according to the design requirements and site conditions. There are two kinds of water tanks commonly used in the market, one is the short version and the other is the high version. The short version and the high version are wall-mounted and self-supporting, respectively, and the wall needs to be fixed. Let's take a look at Geberit's, as shown below.
Key points: If the design needs to be flat with the washstand, generally choose a short one. If there is no load-bearing structure behind, you should generally choose self-bearing.
The third step is to choose your favorite style. This can be based on the design style.

10, Spanish musician: colorful
Wall-hung toilets rarely come in many colors. Musicians who have always been combined with art not only pursue novel styles, but also use bold colors, which is an excellent choice for pursuing individuality.
The above 10 is a better brand for wall-mounted toilets in recent years. Focus on the brand Geboli, because this is also the best feedback for customers, and their family also focuses on the field of wall-mounted toilets. You can check the details yourself.
Fourth, how to install the wall-mounted toilet? How to design it?
How to install the wall-mounted toilet? First of all, if you decide to choose a wall-hung bathroom, it is best to do it well before the decoration and hydropower stage, because the drainage, water supply and pre-burial of the wall-hung bathroom need the cooperation of the master in the hydropower stage.
If your city is a first-and second-tier city, you can find a professional installer by searching or consulting the seller. If not, you can entrust the construction party or a third-party installer to install it. If you have strong hands-on ability, as long as you are literate and not stupid, you will be fine. The explanation is intuitive and has no technical content, so pay attention to the positioning and connection of the drainage pipe.
There are basically two kinds of hidden water tanks: one is that the brick on the left is wrapped in a fake wall. One is on the right, and a groove is recessed in the wall to bury the water tank.
There are also two kinds of panel installation: one is the front installation of this panel on the left. A top-mounted one, and this panel is on the right. Therefore, it is necessary to communicate with the mason in advance when installing, and the fake wall cannot be replaced after completion.
The steel frame outside the water tank is fixed to the ground and wall with expansion screws.
Many people want to make the fake wall behind the wall-hung toilet thinner, which can make the space feel bigger. There are generally two ways to seal a fake wall. One is to seal it directly with bricks, so that the thickness of the painting will be thicker and the finished surface will reach more than 20 cm. One is to seal with cement board, which will be thinner, but many people will be afraid of the quality and durability of cement board. Here's a way: fill the gap in the water tank with bricks (as shown above), then polish the surface directly with cement, and then remember to hang barbed wire to prevent cracking. The completed area of this method can be controlled around 18 cm, which is an ideal method for your reference.
Another biggest problem is drainage. The domestic mainstream is to reserve drainage according to the pit spacing of 305, that is, the toilet water is 305mm away from the wall, and the drainage of hidden water tank is more suitable for wall drainage. If the modification of the sunken toilet is simple, it is best to use a shifter for the non-sunken toilet (there is a professional shifter on the same floor of Geboli). ?
Connect the sewage pipe with tee, and don't destroy the ground. The operation is simpler, and the inner diameter of the sewage pipe is unchanged. Dispel everyone's concerns about pipeline blockage. The fast tee is really a very good product. Just locate it and stick it on the original sewage pipe, with double insurance of glue and metal hoop. No problem, just use the hole opener to open the hole, without destroying the original pipeline and worrying about water leakage. The quick-connect tee is tightly clamped on the riser, so there is no need to fix it in a hurry. Adjust the water tank horizontally and vertically, connect the elbow with the joint, make positioning marks one by one, and then fix it. If dislocation is found during gluing, it should be rotated or pulled down immediately for adjustment.
Above, the masters have repaired the water tank and made the final debugging on the connection. There is no problem in fixing it with glue. The red line is made by laser levels, which is convenient to confirm the height of the finished surface. The OSB board on the wall is because the distance is too large, which exceeds the length of the joint. It is padded with two layers of wooden boards and then punched and fixed.
The glue at the bottom of the water tank can adjust the height. If it is inconvenient to punch holes, you need to punch holes repeatedly, and you can remove them and reinstall them in the opposite direction. There is an anchor point on the water tank, which is the upper edge of the installed toilet. On this basis, the surface positioning of ceramic tiles is completed. According to the toilet habits, the height of the toilet is generally 40-42 cm.
After the installation, it is necessary to enter the acceptance stage, introduce water into the sewage outlet of the water tank, and test whether there is water leakage or seepage. Install protective covers for sewage outlets and toilet entrances. The finished surface of ceramic tile shall not exceed the MAX mark.
PS: If you plan to buy a smart toilet cover, remember to reserve an extra potential and water source next to the toilet.
How to design it? Wall-hung toilets can become everyone's new favorite, and there are also a lot of reasons. Its unique installation method will make many bathrooms with small apartment space have many more possible designs. Let's have a look.
Small units can design the wall-mounted washing machine above the toilet, which is simple and does not occupy space.
The washstand and toilet are integrated, and the integrated mirror cabinet can stretch the sense of space. A large number of toiletries can be stored in the mirror cabinet, and a socket can be reserved in the mirror cabinet for standby, so that razors and electric toothbrushes no longer have to worry about where to put them.
If the toilet has such a sunken area, you can make a semi-open storage cabinet behind the toilet as a whole, because the toilet space is relatively independent and there will be no great water vapor. If you are afraid of humidity, you can choose to use stainless steel cabinets instead, but the relative cost is higher.
The larger bathroom can use the concave and convex of the fake wall combined with the whole washboard to design a countertop storage cabinet. The integrated design will make the bathroom look clean and tidy.
5. What should I pay attention to when using the wall-mounted toilet?
Load-bearing problem: In the process of using the wall-mounted toilet, the biggest worry is the load-bearing capacity, lest it fall down.
The center of gravity of the wall-hung toilet is transferred to the steel bracket of the toilet by using the principle of force transmission through two high-strength hanging screws, and this steel bracket can bear the weight of 400KG after repeated tests. Don't be afraid even if your family is fat. In fact, the wall-mounted toilet was introduced into China from Europe and America. Europeans and Americans are generally heavier than Chinese people. As long as it is not intentionally scampering, it can be used safely.
Maintenance problem: the wall-mounted toilet is equipped with a control panel, which is convenient and quick to maintain. In fact, generally speaking, the water tank of the toilet is not easy to break, and the water parts are usually replaced, so it is generally not a big problem to choose the water parts with good quality.
As for the front of the hidden water tank, it is introduced that it is integrally formed. So far, we haven't heard that a friend has damaged the water tank with a wall-mounted toilet of a big brand.
Here are some small details of our daily maintenance:
1. Do not place it in direct sunlight, near direct heat source or in contact with oil fume, otherwise it will cause discoloration.
2. Do not place hard objects and heavy objects, such as water tank covers, flower pots, buckets and basins. Otherwise, it will scratch the surface or cause cracks.
3. The cover plate and seat ring should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Strong acid, strong carbon and detergent powder are prohibited from cleaning. Do not use volatiles, thinners or other chemicals for cleaning, otherwise it will corrode the surface. Do not use wire brushes, blades and other sharp objects for cleaning.
4. When the cover plate is installed in a non-water tank or a low-water tank, people can't lean back, otherwise it will break.
5. The cover plate should be lightly opened and closed to avoid direct collision with the water tank, leaving spots and affecting the appearance; Or it may lead to a fracture.
6, the use of metal hinges (metal screws) products should be paid attention to, do not let acid and alkali solvents adhere to the product, otherwise it is easy to rust.
7. Users should clean the toilet at least once a week.
8. If the water source at the user's location is hard water, the outlet hole must be kept clean.
9. Frequent rotation of the toilet lid will cause the fastening washer to loosen. Please tighten the cover nut.
10, please don't knock or trample on Tao Wei Sanitary Ware.
1 1. Do not close the toilet seat quickly.
12. When the detergent is poured into the toilet, don't turn it off. Rinse with water and turn off the fire.
13, don't burn Tao Wei sanitary ware with high-temperature water.
Toilet is a very important part of our decoration design. Through a bathroom, you can feel that what the owner wants is the most quality life. I hope this article can help everyone, dispel everyone's doubts about wall-mounted toilets, and create a bathroom environment that belongs to their own preferences.
