Suspended plumbing - the choice is not only minimalists, but also any rational thinking buyers.

Installation. Traditional plumbing does not require special attachments and installation systems: the old shell can be replaced with a new one in a couple of hours. But if there was no installation system in your bathroom for suspended plumbing, you will first have to buy and install it. And then, to mount the selected toilet, sink or bidet. Subsequently, you will no longer have any difficulties: the old plumbing will also just be replaced with a new one, as if she was standing on the floor.

1. Myth: suspended plumbing is more expensive outdoor

Refutation. The first and chief myth of the suspension plumbing is its price. Who said she is more expensive? This is true only if you compare high-quality import suspension models with domestic outdoor consumer goods. Among the quality comparable models, the opposite is: for example, outdoor toilets are usually more expensive. The arithmetic is approximately such: if the floor toilet with the tank costs about $ 600, then the suspension model without a tank will cost somewhere at $ 400. Even if you add to this the cost of installation system with an integrated tank (from $ 120), then the benefit is obvious.

Contrary to emerging opinion, suspension plumbing is cheaper than outdoor models.

2. Myth: Built-in toilet tank is difficult to access

Refutation. Once built-in, it will certainly flow, and straight stamped in the wall. Yes, it will flow so that you have to twist fresh tiles. Another fiction. The built-in tank is made of plastic, and plastic is almost eternal. "Fly in", in fact, only the draining system can, and nothing is worth it. It is enough to remove the button for the drain, shove the hand into the hole and get the device. It is not necessary to repair anything inside the tank: you just need to insert a new or renovated device to the place of the old one.

3. Myth: Suspension plumbing takes a lot of space

Refutation. Not at all: as much, or even less. The depth of the floor toilet bowl is 18-20 cm, and the built-in along with the frame is not more than 11 cm. Even if you add layers of plasterboard and tiles, it turns out at all. But behind the falsely, the installation for the suspension toilet or sink will be launched, and the uncompatible pipes that the whole bathroom spoiled you.

The items suspended on the wall seem compact to those stand on the floor: this rule is true for furniture, and for plumbing.

Everywhere. Installation systems are not at all attached to the overhaul. They can be installed at the partition or simply fixed on the floor. What does it mean? Spacious bathroom can now be divided into zones, not forcing the plumbing to be modestly in the walls.

4. Myth: Suspension toilet cannot withstand a big weight

Refutation. Absolute nonsense. Suspended plumbing make respected manufacturers and give it a guarantee. For example, suspended toilet with proper installation withstands the weight of up to 400 kg. What to talk about bidets and sinks!
