Is it better to have a wall or floor drain for bathroom drainage? You can't have your cake and eat it too! Which one would you choose?
For the toilet and wash basin in the bathroom, you can choose between wall drainage and floor drainage. The two different drainage methods will have different effects in actual life experience. However, in a bathroom, you can only choose between wall drainage and floor drainage, which is a multiple-choice question that you can't have both. Floor drainage is a traditional way of bathroom drainage, and I believe everyone is more clear about it. Wall drainage is a drainage design method that has emerged in recent years. What are its advantages and disadvantages? Let me talk about this topic below!
1. Benefits of wash basin wall mounting
①Beautiful
The wash basin adopts a wall-drained drainage design, so there will be no drain pipe under the wash basin. The entire area under the wash basin will be relatively simple and elegant, especially if you choose a wash basin without a bathroom cabinet. The simple space below will make the effect more grand.
②Easy to use space
If it is drained normally, there will be a drain outlet and drain pipe under the wash basin. If you want to put something under the wash basin, you need a niche drain outlet and drain pipe. If it is drained on the wall, there will be no drain pipe under the wash basin, which will make it more convenient to use. For example, a large bathtub for children can be placed under the wash basin.
③Easy to clean
The wash basin is mounted on the wall, and there is no drain on the ground below the wash basin. The floor of the entire space is paved with tiles. When cleaning the ground under the wash basin, the mop can be dragged directly in, which will make it more convenient to clean.
2. Disadvantages of wash basin wall drainage: easy to get blocked
For an ordinary floor-drained wash basin, there will be a section of bellows underneath the wash basin connected to the drain outlet. People with life experience should know that if this section of bellows is not cleaned after being used for a few months, the drainage will become slower. Then when you remove the bellows to clean it, you will find a lot of hair, impurities, dirt, etc. inside.
The wall-mounted wash basin does not have this section of corrugated pipe, so these debris will go directly into the drain pipe. If it is blocked, it will not be as convenient to remove and clean it as with the corrugated pipe.
3. How to design a practical wash basin?
For a wash basin with ordinary drainage, if you want to design it to be more practical, you can leave the drain outlet near the corner of the wall, so that the space utilization under the wash basin will not be affected by the drain pipe outlet.
1. Benefits of toilet wall drainage
①Easy to maintain
Wall-mounted toilets are installed on the wall, so that the bottom of the toilet will not touch the ground, which is equivalent to the toilet being hung on the wall in the air. In this way, there will be no sanitary dead corners under the toilet, making it very convenient to clean.
②Easy to move
In a bathroom without a caisson, it would be impossible to move the toilet. However, with a wall-mounted toilet, the drain outlet of the toilet can be raised to the wall, making the relocation of the toilet possible.
③Simple and beautiful
The water tank of a wall-mounted toilet is hidden in the rear wall, leaving less of the toilet body exposed, making the overall design more simple and elegant.
④Low noise
Every time after flushing the toilet, there will be a sound when the water tank is filled with water. The water tank of a wall-mounted toilet is concealed in the wall, so the sound when the water tank is filling with water will be relatively small.
⑤Not easy to block
The height difference between the "toilet bowl and sewage pipe" of a wall-mounted toilet is much larger than that of an ordinary toilet, so the inclination of the sewage pipe will also be larger, and it is relatively less easy to get clogged.
2. Disadvantages of toilet wall flush
①Troublesome installation and maintenance
Ordinary toilets have no connection with hard installations, so installation and maintenance are relatively simple; however, wall-mounted toilets need to be maintained through an inspection port, so if there is a problem later, maintenance will be more troublesome than ordinary toilets.
②Sense of security issues
Wall-flush toilets are all suspended on the wall, which is extremely annoying for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
If the aesthetic requirements for the bathroom are not 100% perfect, it does not matter if the bathroom does not have wall drainage. Although wall drainage has many advantages, it also has disadvantages. For example, wall-mounted toilets and washbasins are inconvenient to maintain. For floor-drained washbasins, we can place the drain outlet near the corner, which will make space utilization more convenient.
