Wall Hung Toilets

Also known as floating toilets, wall hung toilets leave the floor clear and keep the cistern out of sight. These answers will help you work out how much room you need, which frame to choose and what's included.

 

Do wall hung toilets save space?

Wall hung toilets can help make smaller bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites feel more open. The cistern is hidden behind the wall or inside a unit, so there is less visible bulk in the room. As the pan is raised off the floor, it also creates a less crowded look. Short projection wall hung toilets are especially useful where space is tight.

 

How much weight can they handle?

A wall hung toilet is supported by its fitted frame, so the pan isn't relying on the wall alone. The weight limit depends on the frame you choose. Its product specifications will give you the figure for that model, and the frame needs to be fitted to a suitable structure.

 

What frame does a floating toilet need?

It needs a frame that suits both the pan and the space where it will be fitted. Frames come in different heights and depths, and the flush plate needs to work with the cistern. Your wall or toilet unit also needs to accommodate the frame and allow access to the flush controls.

 

Is the frame included with a wall hung toilet?

It depends on the toilet you choose. Some come as a set with the frame, cistern and flush plate, while others include the pan only. The product details will show which parts you're getting, so you can see what else you'll need before you order.

 

Are wall hung toilets easy to maintain?

Day-to-day cleaning is usually simpler with a wall hung toilet because the floor underneath the pan is clear and easy to reach. Rimless variants can make cleaning the bowl easier too, as there is no hidden rim for grime or limescale to build up around. Many modern concealed cisterns can be accessed through the flush plate for basic checks, but fitting and repairs should always be handled by a qualified installer.
