Successful Back to Wall Bathroom Suite Installation

The key to achieving the perfect appearance of the wall in your bathroom is to place the toilet on the wall.

Most wall-to-wall toilets are minimal in design and will complement a modern bathroom. When buying your toilet, be sure to check if it includes your toilet tank in the package. Often, because the cistern is a standard item, you must buy the two. You do not want to hire a contractor to install your bathroom and find that something as essential as a toilet flush is missing, so check if you are not sure. You will also need a wall mount bracket for your toilet cistern; Again, this can come with the hidden cistern or it can be sold.

Remember also that faucets and debris are not included as part of your basin purchase. Again, to avoid problems on the day of installation, be sure to choose faucets and waste that complement your basin in a practical and aesthetic way. The basin can They can prep the basin for faucets: check if there are one or two holes and buy your faucets. Check, too, if your basin has an overflow slot: if it does, you will need a slotted drain and, otherwise, you will need an ungrooved variety.

For installation, first think about the positioning of your toilet. Your WC floor pipe is a nuisance to move and moving it will be more expensive than leaving it in place. If you can maintain the existing toilet position in the distribution of your new bathroom to keep costs and plumbing work to a minimum.

A back-to-wall toilet is more related to the design of a closed toilet than a wall hung toilet, since it is still on the floor and has a cistern above and behind the bowl. It hides this cistern, but it is there. If you are building a false wall to hide your new toilet or if you buy a bathroom cabinet to do this for you, if you are replacing a closed toilet and keeping the position of your old toilet, you will need to take into account the ‘ rough ‘(check with your bathroom provider if you are unsure) when you purchase your toilet to make sure you can use your current tubing.

It can combine your toilet with a pedestal, a semi-pedestal or a washbasin suspended on the wall, or a washbasin with a countertop or countertop in a built-in vanity unit. Again, think about positioning to keep plumbing costs down. It is less difficult to reroute the water supply and drainage pipes for a basin than to move a toilet floor piping, but if your existing basin is in a sensible position, keep that position and spend the resulting savings elsewhere.
