Wall hung washbasinWall hung washbasins are not onlyceilings. And not only the hanging gardens of Babylon. In the early 80s, the history of the development of plumbing equipment was marked by the appearance of suspended, or as it is also called, wall-mounted plumbing, and its pioneers were toilets. "The suspended miracle" became an alternative to floor-standing plumbing. Just do not think that the innovation arose from designer delights and quirks. This fashion was formed under the influence of specific and completely prosaic requirements for hygiene, comfort, economy. The first such examples appeared in the West in public toilets, where hygiene requirements are extremely high. Just ten years later, in the 90s, wall-mounted toilets, urinals, bidets, washbasins successfully migrated to home bathrooms. Every housewife knows that the most inaccessible and problematic places for cleaning are the toilets. around and under the plumbing equipment. Suspended models allow you to clean the room more quickly and efficiently. The design of the bathroom with them becomes more refined, elegant and open. You have probably already had time to look at the illustrations. Such bathrooms look unusual, they are distinguished by a certain airiness and lightness, a "floating" effect. Due to the fact that the floor area is not occupied by equipment, the space of the room looks more spacious. Tiles, the pattern of which is clearly visible on the floor and walls, are a great advantage. No connections, rusty pipes, shut-off valves are visible. They are hidden behind the cladding, simultaneously creating useful additional space. The sink siphon is closed by a half-column or half-pedestal, hiding the water supply and drain. If the siphon remains open, it no longer looks like itself, but becomes a real "alloy of new technologies", played up by designers. Light, elegant - essentially an extension of the sink. This is a fully coordinated design. Well-known manufacturers usually present a ready-made version within the collection: the sink is offered together with a siphon, a base, a mixer.
In the collections offered you can often finda version of a wall-hung toilet with a built-in cistern and a version of a toilet with an external cistern. The cisterns, as a rule, have two flush modes. By pressing one button, half of the tank's volume is used - 3 liters, thus saving a large amount of consumed water, by pressing the other button, the full volume of the tank is used - 6 or 9 liters. Such convenience can be fully appreciated by residents of Western countries, where water meters record every liter used, for which you have to pay. For us, saving water is still an unknown concept. What is especially good about wall-hung plumbing is that it allows designers to design an individual bathroom that meets your wishes. There are bathrooms and toilets of non-standard configuration and layout, with problematic wall slopes and corners in which, it would seem, nothing can be placed. By using installation systems, you can make the most of every square centimeter (for example, move the toilet or sink to the corner). There are washbasin models of standard width of 60 cm, there are the most comfortable ones, 100 cm wide, there are mini-models, less than 50 cm wide. The latter will be especially interesting for those who have small bathrooms or guest bathrooms, which often do not have extra meters. We mentioned installation systems. This is what made suspended plumbing possible. At low cost, ready-to-install elements (steel self-supporting frame for single or rail mounting with full insulation from condensation moisture, fasteners, fittings, bolts, etc.) are simply installed anywhere in the plumbing room. With this universal installation system, you can easily plan the layout of bathroom elements, rearranging toilets, washbasins, sinks, etc., making the redevelopment in record time (for example, build an additional wall and organize a "nook" for the toilet in the middle of the bathroom). The advantage is independence from existing connections for all plumbing. Complete installation takes only a few days. There is no need for chiselling and masonry work, the system is installed on existing walls. (There is even a special reliable installation system for attaching this equipment to a plasterboard wall).
High strength and reliability -Distinctive properties of suspended models. But there remains a certain psychological barrier, mistrust of Russian consumers towards them. They look too fragile. Of course, they are beautiful, hygienic, elegant, but... Still, at such a crucial moment, you want to sit on something reliable that will not let you down. And will this beauty withstand it? The toilet can withstand a load of up to 400 kg, experts say. And what is its design? Very different. In the proposed collections, among the examples of high design art, you can find models with soft outlines, lightly rounded shapes, close to classic ones. There are models with very clear and laconic outlines in a minimalist spirit. From exquisite matte shades of jasmine, pearl to dark blue, black and chocolate colors. Materials - earthenware, glass, metal, wood. For any design ideas and for any wallet. Wall-hung sanitary ware is not necessarily expensive. There are inexpensive solutions, at the economy class level, in which a wall-hung toilet costs a little more than a hundred dollars. True, the cost of the installation system is added to this, which costs about 200 dollars. As an alternative, you may be offered special brackets on which you can hang the toilet and cistern, sometimes these brackets are supplied complete with the models themselves. But the installation system is the highest level of skill! Experts do not recommend saving on it, because the performance and service life of your equipment depend on proper installation. Your home or office can be equipped with such a system by a company that has experience in this field, is able to select equipment, install it and service it in the future. No serious company will ever be able to offer you modern equipment and a high level of service at "throwaway prices". Deal with professionals.
