Not only ceiling can be suspended, and not only one of the seven wonders of the world such as hanging gardens of Babylon. At the beginning of 80's history of development of the bathroom equipment was marked by an appearance of suspended, or wall hung, equipment, with closet basins as pioneers. "Suspended miracle" became an alternative to floor-standing bathroom equipment. Don't think that this innovation emerged as a result of designers' embellishment and oddity. This fashion was formed under the influence of concrete and totally prosaic needs of hygiene, comfort and economy.
The first examples of the type appeared in public water closets, where hygienic demands were extremely strict. In ten years, in 90's wall hung bathroom suits such as closet basins, urinals, bidets, washbasins successfully moved to private bathroom units and increased number in bathroom upgrades including bathroom furniture and bathroom accessories and new bathroom suites. Buying a new house or remodeling your existing one, the bathroom is the place to start with since the bathroom is the most frequent room to use by every member of your family. But before starting your bathroom renovation adventure it is important to consider your bathroom units in terms of usability and place not mentioning the design. If you want to break away from traditional bathroom styles and add a fresh look of elegance to your new bathroom have a look at wall mounted bathroom units models.
Every housewife knows that the most hard-to-reach and difficult-to-clean places are the areas around and under the bathroom equipment. Wall mounted bathroom units allow to clean up the area more quickly and effectively.
Bathroom design becomes, owing to the wall hung equipment, more exquisite, refined and airy. You must have managed to look through the illustrations. Such bathrooms look quite unusual, they are distinguished by some airiness and lightness, "hovering" effect. Owing to lack of equipment on the floor, the place looks more spacious. The tile is distinguished, its pattern is clearly visible on the floor and the walls. You will not see any connections, corrodible pipes or lock valves. They are hidden behind the tile, at the same time forming additional useful bathroom space. Sink drainage siphon is covered by a half-column or a half-pedestal, concealing piping and water drain. In case siphon is uncovered, it does not look like itself, but becomes a "modern technologies alloy" created by designers. Light and refined, it is in fact a continuation of the sink. That is the example of totally coordinated design. Known manufacturers usually offer ready-made models within the collection: the sink is offered together with a siphon and a mixer tap.
In the offered collections it is often possible to observe wall hung closet basin model with a built-in flash tank and a model with an external tank. Flash tanks usually have two regimes of water drain. On pressing one button half tank volume is spent - 3 liters, thus saving large quantity of the consumed water. On pressing the other button the full tank volume is spent - 6 or 9 liters.
Particular benefit of the wall mounted bathroom equipment is allowing designers to plan a satisfying your wishes custom-made bathroom. There exist bathrooms of original configuration and layout with angled walls and corners, in which nothing seems possible to place. Applying installation systems it is possible to use every square centimeter effectively (move the sink or a closet basin to the corner, for example). There are sink models of standard 25 inches width, more comfortable - 40 inches, mini-models - 20 inches wide. The latter will be of a particular interest for those who have small bathroom units or guest units, which usually lack additional space.
The installation systems mentioned made wall mounted bathroom equipment feasible. With small commitment, ready for mounting units (steal self-supporting frame for single or track installation completely isolated from condensed moisture, interior packing, reinforcement, screws etc.) are simply installed in any place. With the help of this universal mounting system it is possible to plan bathroom elements placement without any difficulty, rearranging closet basins, sinks etc., making replanning in record-short terms (for example, erect an additional wall and form a "corner" for a closet basin). Independence of the already existing connections for all bathroom equipment is another benefit. The entire installation process takes only a few days. Gouging and placing works are needless. The system is mounted on already existing walls. (There even is a special reliable installation system for fastening this equipment to plasterboard wall).
High resistibility and reliability are distinctive features of wall mounted models. However, there remains some psychological barriers: they look so fragile. They are certainly beautiful, healthful and elegant, but? All the same, in such a crucial moment one wishes to seat on something more reliable that will not let down. Will this beauty carry? Experts affirm that the closet basin carries the load up to 880 pounds.
What kind of design does it have? Highly diverse. In the collections offered, along with examples of design art, there are models with delicate, slightly rounded shape, close to classical one. There are models with very accurate and compact contour in minimalism style. From sophisticated matt tinges of jasmine and pearl to dark-blue, black and chocolate colors. Materials - faience, glass, metal, wood. For any design ideas and any wallet.
Wall mounted bathroom equipment is not always expensive. There also exist inexpensive models of economy-class level. Though, the cost of the installation system is added. As an alternative, one can be offered special brackets, to which closet basin and flash tank can be hung up. These brackets are sometimes supplied as a unit of a model. Nevertheless, an installation procedure is something remarkable! Experts recommend not to economize on it, as serviceability and service life of your equipment depend on the right installation. Only a company that has an experience in this field is able to select equipment, install and service it further, can equip your house or office with such system. A reputable company will never offer you modern equipment and high level service for a "knock-down" price. Deal only with professionals.
