Trending Now: Wall-Mounted Toilets

5/5/2017

0 Comments

 
This month we are creating a bathroom in a high-rise in one of Chicago’s finest downtown neighborhoods and newer condominiums. The owners have an interest to increase value and use by adding a full bath and walk-in shower adjacent to the existing den. From an appraiser’s perspective, this will most certainly pay for itself in equitable gain. For the homeowner, it will bring more use and versatility when guests come to stay.

As we are in the process of building this bathroom, I felt it was important to introduce what I think is to become a common element for the future of bathrooms. This is the wall mounted toilet. Most people are unfamiliar with these types of finer china, and even more people have never seen the construction. 

Wall mounted toilets are typically used in condominiums due to the restrictions of cutting into the concrete floor for a traditional toilet plumbing line. If you were to cut into a condominium floor, you would risk opening the floor to the person’s ceiling below. It is for that reason that wall mounted toilets find most favorable use. 

That being said, I would also stand to say that a wall mounted toilet lends itself to ease of keeping clean and providing floor space. As you see in the pictures provided, the toilet "tank" is not visible and there is no pedestal column to the floor. 
​
Below is the steel frame of a wall mounted toilet. You can see the sturdiness and hidden- in-wall water tank that contributes to a very contained and clean line look in the bathroom. 

The push button wall flush will usually offer a single, or dual button feature. The purpose of the dual button flusher is to provide a choice on how much water you can use. The first button will provide less water use, while the second push button will use maximum water to clear the bowl.

Although these are great solutions for your bathroom remodeling, they are much more in cost than a standard toilet installation. Not only are the toilet and frame going to add to the expense, but the relocation of the plumbing lines will also require more. 

Overall, the end result of adding the wall mounted toilet to your bathroom will effectively bring a clean look, both for the eye of the beholder, as well as for the astounding features of good design.
