Toilets: The Pleasures And Joys Of The Back To Wall Series
This toilet series is a favourite in the current interior design market. In fact, the back to wall make has been a prominent and consistent frontrunner on the list of most common toilets in the modern day house.
Much like any other toilet series, its functionality remains the same old concept. What makes the back to wall series such a favourite however, is its conservation of limited, precious bathroom space. Many home owners understandably reserve that space for the grand finishing touch, usually a bath tub or shower area.
The pleasure of installing or using these back to wall bathroom accessories are many:
- Conservative On Space
The back to wall variety is your new best friend if what you seek is to maximize on your available bathroom space without jeopardizing any other renovation plans you're planning to implement. The back to wall toilet has its intricate mass of pipes and plumbing hidden away between the cistern and the inside of the bathroom wall.
The effect of this is that the toilet is not taking up another foot into the centre of your bathroom because of any protruding pipes as is the case with the traditional toilet.
- Adds Value To Your Property
In addition to making your bathroom more attractive to you and your family, the back to wall toilet will also increase your house's value in the real estate market due to its relative rarity.
The extra space conserved when you install a back to wall model will ensure that you comply with the regulations stipulated in the Building Code of Australia regarding egress and access, making it even more appealing to potential buyers.
- A Stylish Sure-Fire Head Turner
This type of toilet is one of the more attractive prospects when it comes time to select a style for your renovation needs. It appears much simpler in comparison to some other toilets such as the exposed cistern and bidet series or more antique varieties like the Old Barclay Victorian style lavatory.
- Simple Elegance
The simplicity results in a sort of easy going elegance that allows a more prominent centre piece such as a freestanding bath tub to take all the glory. This combination of freestanding bath and back to wall toilet will also provide a pleasant contrast, with the latter being attached to the wall and the former all by itself in the centre of the room.
In addition, this type of toilet comes in an array of materials and colours to suit your bathroom theme. The toilet seat can also be custom made and intricately patterned.
- Very Easy To Clean And Maintain
Again because most, if not all the pipe work is concealed between the cistern and the wall itself, the back to wall lavatory is a dream to clean. No tight crevices that you have to struggle to clean and a reduced surface area mean that cleaning takes only a few moments of your time.
However, to keep it simple to maintain, your plumber should take care to install a sanitary drainage and sewage system that complies with the regulations of the Department of Environment and the Plumbing Code of Australia.
Does It Have Major Disadvantages?
One disadvantage that most owners mention, is that it is expensive compared to other toilet makes. This is due to its rarity in the market and the fact that the wall must be partially brought down to install it. However, what you finally get beats such minor drawbacks.
