This is the doubt that assails those who are furnishing a bathroom in a newly built flat or during major renovation. It can be very difficult to give up an elegant bath decor in an exclusive style, especially if we are carrying outmasonry work that can be totally or partially refunded.
Fortunately, there are many models ofwall-mounted and floor-standingsanitary ware on the market that can truly satisfy any need, in terms of style and space. Let’s take a look, in detail at what theadvantages of wall-mounted sanitary ware are and what the floor standing ones could offer, to create a bathroom interior design that is both practical and stylish.
Wall-mounted sanitary ware: a contemporary look at a functional bathroom
Suspended toilets and bidets are undoubtedly one of the latest frontiers that bathroom interior designers have tackled to give even small bathrooms a sense ofgreater spaciousness and acontemporary look.
Indeed, wall installation allows hiding from view all those elements necessary for their optimal functioning (water pipes, waste system and tank), providing for theirhousing inside the wall. These are details that allow you to keep the functionality unaltered, combining it with a look that will certainly not go unnoticed.
Positioned at an average height of about 40/42 cm from the floor, they are perfectly usable, leaving the floor free for optimalcleaning.
Theirinstallation should be planned during the masonry work, to make connections suitable for height and size. In this regard, we would like to point out thatreinforced or load-bearing walls with a thickness of at least 10 cm are usually required. However, you can also choose to install them in your bathroom without carrying out complex masonry work.
For example, if you want to change the bathroom fixtures without taking on the burden of creating special internal housing in the wall, you can opt to build a plasterboard counter wall, which will help to mask the waste system and the installation brackets of the sanitary ware. This option is often used by interior designers who plan the renovation ofbathroom fixtures in rooms of large dimensions.
