A toilet’s height is possibly its most important attribute. If it’s too high, your feet end up suspended a few inches above the ground. If it’s too low, and your legs are bent in an uncomfortable position, defeating the purpose of a “comfort” room. Now picture a toilet that rests securely in that Goldilocks zone of seat height: not too low and not too high. But, most toilets are built to follow a standard height, so is this even possible?
The good news is yes, it definitely is. Our expert craftsmen from Handyman Connection® of Winter Park are here to show you the many advantages of wall-mounted toilets.
Maintenance Requirements
If you’ve ever tried to mop your bathroom floor, then you know just how difficult it is to reach all the corners around the toilet base. Unlike their floor-mounted counterparts, wall-mounted toilets leave the area directly underneath them readily accessible and easy to clean.
Additionally, clogging issues are much more easily fixed. The carrier and tank are all hidden away behind a wall, accessible through an almost invisible panel. This panel functions as a door leading to the inner mechanisms of the toilet which, according to many professional plumbers, require much less acrobatics to get their hands into.
Space Saving Installation
By removing the tank from the visible parts of the toilet, you’re giving yourself an extra 10 inches of clearance in front of the toilet. Most building codes have a minimum of 21-inch requirement directly in front of the carrier. That’s more than 30 inches of additional legroom for your comfort.
Cost Considerations
One drawback of wall-mounted toilets would be their cost. This type of commode can easily go for as much as double or even triple the cost of a standard toilet. And that’s still without the fees for professional installation. It should be noted, though, that you’re trading price for all its benefits, so it pays to think about the pros before making a decision.
