Hanging Toilet

What is a hanging toilet?

A hanging toilet is a toilet that is mounted to the wall. Traditional toilets are mounted to the floor with a stand. These toilets have no stand and hover a little above the ground. They generally have no protruding lip. The inner workings of the toilet, including the pipes and tank, are mounted inside the wall and covered by the wall to be hidden from sight. Many hanging toilet bowls have a control panel that is mounted into the wall above it that controls its functions, like flushing. Hanging toilets are typically installed for decorative reasons, as they fit more into the modern style than traditional toilets.
