Wall Hung Toilets

A wall hung toilet can transform the look of a bathroom but it’s worth knowing how they work before you pick one. The following FAQs break down the practical bits, the perks and the things installers always check behind the scenes.

 

What is a wall hung toilet?

A wall hung toilet is a floating loo fixed to a strong metal frame that’s hidden inside the wall. You’ll only see the bowl and the flush plate, so the whole space looks cleaner and more modern. As the floor’s clear, you’ll find it much easier to sweep or mop underneath. We’ve fitted loads of these and the tidy finish always gets compliments.

 

How much weight can they handle?

More than most people think. A good quality frame is built to take around 200 kg, with some rated even higher. The frame does the heavy lifting, not the wall, so you’ll get a solid, stable feel when you sit down.

 

Do wall hung toilets save space?

They do, especially in small bathrooms or cloakrooms. Here’s why they work so well:

• The cistern hides inside the wall, so you lose the bulky tank.
• The bowl’s raised off the floor, which opens up the room visually.
• Many have shorter projections, and some sit under 650 mm.

Those small tweaks make a big difference when you’re trying to squeeze everything in.

 

Are wall hung toilets hard to maintain?

Not when they’re fitted properly. Day-to-day cleaning’s easier because you can reach every corner of the floor.

Rimless wall hung toilets cut down on hidden grime, which is handy if you like a low-maintenance bathroom.

Most modern systems let you pop off the flush plate to reach the cistern, so you’re not ripping tiles off the wall for simple checks.

If the toilet sees heavy daily use, getting a plumber to give it a quick once-over each year keeps everything working smoothly.

 

What type of frame do you need?

You’ll need a sturdy frame set inside either a stud wall or a small false wall. It supports the toilet, holds the cistern and keeps everything rock solid. We always advise checking the wall type first. It saves you time and helps you pick the right frame from the start.
