The wife chose a wall-hung toilet. It's good that I insisted on the usual! Cons of hanging plumbing
The wife chose a wall-mounted toilet in the house. He says that it takes up less space, that it is beautiful and practical. Yes, perhaps beautiful. And cleaning is more convenient. But I do not believe in their reliability and durability. That is why he insisted on installing a conventional floor-standing toilet. But I would argue that the wall-mounted toilet takes up less space, as many say.
Hanging plumbing has its drawbacks. And there are a lot of them. Let's discuss?
- The complexity of the installation of hinged plumbing, and the lack of professional craftsmen who are guaranteed to do everything for "5+". This is of course the main disadvantage. Installation is more complicated. The work will take 2-3 hours. And after the work of our plumbers and the usual toilet does not always hold tight, what can we say about a hinged one? Yes, I do not always trust our masters.
- Constructions with flexible connections - not right away! In a few years there will definitely be problems with her. And its replacement will cost a pretty penny.
- Installation - that would seem to be a plus. Hidden cistern, mounting frame, communications - all this gives the room elegance, some kind of grace. I agree that the look is interesting. But what is hidden behind this ?!This is the inaccessibility of communications. In case of some kind of breakdown, leakage, imperfection, appearance of a defect, all "beauty" will have to be destroyed in order to get to the problem. And any plumbing periodically requires preventive maintenance - repair, replacement of filters and other elements. To do this, you will also have to disassemble the installation. And here we go back to point 1 - there are practically no knowledgeable plumbers.
- Repairs and maintenance are definitely not cheap. Definitely more expensive than a conventional toilet. And all this is more difficult to produce.
- Another important point - suspended plumbing can only be attached to monolithic and brick walls. For a plasterboard partition or similar material - no. Otherwise, the plumbing will simply collapse under its own weight.
- Everyone talks about saving space, but here, too, by. The tank and frame are hidden in the wall, but that doesn't mean they don't take up space. They simply cannot be seen)) It seems that the hanging toilet needs less space. In fact, it is also about the same as usual. If centimeters in the bathroom are dear to you, then you should get confused with a model of a toilet bowl and with a drain angle into the sewer.
In my purely technical opinion, there is little good in hanging plumbing. There are more disadvantages than advantages. In general, I think that now the installation of wall-hung toilet bowls is more of a tribute to fashion, a new splash. And everyone wants just such a toilet, especially women. Thirst for the newfangled - to the detriment of the practical.
