AIBU to think wall hung toilets have no place in a public toilet

[Emochild]

Been to the cinema today. It's just been refitted and all of the toilets are wall hung

I'm sure they can take plenty of weight but I don't trust them -especially considering the volume of traffic -so to speak

AIBU to think toilets that are used with such frequency should be solid, sturdy and with a pedestal?

Totally read that as well hung toilets...

What is a wall hung toilet? (Apologies is this is something that actually everyone knows.)

It's a toilet that is supported by the wall, so it looks like it is floating above the floor

It's one where there's no foot or pedestal i.e. the toilet pan is just fixed to the wall, with nothing beneath it to support it.

Easier to clean the floors, innit?

It makes it easier to clean the floor.

Thank you for explaining. What is your concern? That a fat customer might snap it off the wall?

If you saw the amount of piss that ends up on the floor you'd want to make the floor as easy to clean as possible!

I know it's easier to clean the floor but I always think they are going to fall off the wall

It will encourage 'hoverers'

I would have thought wall hung toilets were better for public toilets they take up less space and as people have said easier to Clean around

I always think they are going to fall off the wall

There no more going to than the old over head cisterns

We have wall hung toilets in our bathroom/downstairs loo. They aren't just fixed to the wall, each has a separate heavy duty frame that is concealed within the wall itself and then tiled over. So basically like a traditional pedestal but you only actually see the toilet bowl and seat, the pedestal bit is hidden.

They are just as solid and sturdy as a traditional pedestal but, as others have said, a lot easier to keep clean. No nasty manky bit of grouting around any pedestal base to get coated in wee!

What is your concern? That a fat customer might snap it off the wall? haha. Laid in bed laughing to myself.

Now, the old overhead cisterns, I miss those. You got a proper Niagara style deluge with them - no second flush ever needed.

frames look a bit like this

I confess to having an aversion to wall mounted toilets too.

In our last bathroom we had one and it was slightly wonky. I was always suspicious of it!

I thought you had broken one.

My nana flushed an overhead cistern in our very old house. It came off the wall right onto her head & gave her a very nasty concussion.

My DCs have just told me off for laughing. I do hopeikiboo's nana made a full recovery

She did thanks Penfold - trundled along for another 15 years, bless her

What do wall hung toilets look like?

I see the danger in every possible situation, but even I have never worried about this! I'm impressed op! and is makes me feel better to realise I'm not the most paranoid person in the world anymore

YABU.

Have you ever seen how they are secured??
Safer than any floor-standing pedestal loo

And they are genius for cleaning

I've seen them hung badly!

When I was house hunting I saw a couple in the same house admittedly that were leaning forward and the grout around the tiles was cracking
