Wall-hung sanitary fixtures

Suspended sanitary ware: pros and cons of a design choice

A fundamental element of bathroom furnishings offered by Euroceramica is wall-hung sanitary fixtures, which should be chosen with due consideration for both design and functionality. A sanitary fixture can truly transform the style of the bathroom, and in the market, you can find models of every kind, from the traditional floor-mounted sanitary fixture to the suspended sanitary fixture, perfect for modern decor. Wall-hung sanitary fixtures, in particular, represent a true revolution for bathroom furnishings and strike the right balance between innovation and functionality, given their style is completely different from traditional floor-mounted toilets, bidets, and basins. For this reason, this type of sanitary fixture is one of the most sought after today, although specialists at Euroceramica encourage you to carefully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of a solution that may not be suitable for all bathrooms and decor styles.

Suspended sanitary fixtures: the advantages.

Among the main advantages of suspended sanitary fixtures is functionality. Since they are not supported by the floor, wall-hung fixtures take up less space than traditional ones and also create the illusion of a larger environment. For this reason, Euroceramica recommends choosing them for bathrooms with limited space. An additional advantage is the ease of cleaning the room, as there are no obstacles on the floor. Wall-hung fixtures are supported by brackets inserted into the wall, distributing the weight to the wall. Additionally, the drainage system in this furnishing solution is wall-mounted, resulting in a quieter operation compared to floor-mounted fixtures.

Suspended sanitary fixtures: the disadvantages.

Despite appearing perfect for any type of bathroom at first glance, even suspended sanitary fixtures have drawbacks that should be carefully considered when making a choice. Most of the disadvantages are related to the cost and the type of installation. Being a trendy and design product, wall-hung sanitary fixtures come with higher costs compared to traditional ones, although the brand name significantly influences this aspect. The increased cost is also attributed to the type of installation, which requires substantial wall interventions to incorporate the support system for the sanitary fixture. The wall must be thick enough to accommodate the brackets and the tank for the drainage; otherwise, this solution may not be feasible. In contrast, the installation of wall-mounted toilets and bidets is simpler. Regarding dimensions and weight, wall-hung sanitary fixtures vary depending on the model, ranging from egg-shaped to those with traditional lines or geometric shapes.

Stability and price of wall-hung sanitary fixtures.

The most common concern regarding wall-hung sanitary fixtures is that they might be less secure, unstable, or could detach from the hosting wall. In reality, this is highly unlikely unless the installation was not done correctly, as the brackets are capable of supporting up to 500 kg of weight. As for the price of wall-hung sanitary fixtures, as mentioned, it is generally higher compared to traditional fixtures due to the additional installation work. However, on the Euroceramica website, you can find wall-hung sanitary fixture models suitable for every budget and style of decor. Choose the one that best suits you!
