Wall Hung Toilet

Kuly

Was going for a geberit duo fix. Soil pipe is not directly below the frame. It will go down but then 90 degree out and immediately 90 degree off to the right to join the old soil pipe. Will be maintaining a fair amount of slope on that though.

1 in 40 min. but that's a min, twice that won't hurt in an area you cannot access easily

I have a question for you, if my assumption is wrong then forget it.

If you are going minimalist, then you may also be using wacking great tiles??
Say 600mm square.

Just bear in mind the load capability of whatever you use to re clad the wall.

There is a table of load carrying capabilities for all common building materials, ie, plasterboard skimmed and not skimmed, plywood, tile backer board etc etc.
Also all tiles should carry a weight value per square metre on the pack, this is how the table gives the units.

My point is, plasterboard is unlikely to carry the weight of such tiles, you would be advised to use a tile baker or exterior plywood in tiled areas

Big tiles in a small room look pants.

Unskimmed plasterboard will take 32kg/m^2. Skimmed 20kg. Perhaps surprisingly ply can only take 30kg. Allow 2½kg/m^2 for your addy and grout per m^2.

Andy's given good advice re the frame but I'd use WBP rather than marine ply - its cheaper and you gain nothing using marine ply IMO except a hole in the wallet.

Thanks Cyclone and Keystone.

Room is 2940 x 2480, not usre what you would class as small. This is average maybe?

Was actually looking to use Selkie stone in the shower and around the bath, then their laminate ply wall panels on the wall where WC and basin will be.

The stone looks and feels exactly like tiles and then without the grout looks very nice I thought.

Anyone used laminate panels before? I was thinking of getting hanex or the Du Pont panels but me thinks they will be way too expensive as they have to be installed by their approved installers.

Was looking at WBP ply, I think it is around £40 a sheet is it not?

I always used to use standard plywood until recently where we where repeatedly called back for cracking tiles. 25mm plywood was always pushed to ensure a job well done that does not fail, it turned out plywood had a small moisture content in it and as it was drying out it was putting hairline cracks along the board joints. All joints had 4x2 underneath and 80mm screws impacted into joists, Keraquick with latex too . Tiles still stuck well but hairline cracks!!. 25mm marine £55 per sheet, approx £14 more than basic

Ohherrr. I have to say that I've never had that problem before. Thanks for sharing.

Ahem, I beg to differ, here's one I made earlier,:p



But at 15ft long, it is a fair sized bathroom.
I have however used the same tiles in a smaller bathroom elsewhere, which incidentally included a wall hung pan, and they looked fine to me and the homeowner.

Do you have a link to the table I mentioned?, I half expected you to reply with it to be honest, I have seen it on here a few times.


And before the eagle eyed on the forum spot it, let me explain about the extractor over the shower.
What you see isn't a grill not is it a mains powered fan. Penny pincher here wanted a grill to take a 6" inline/remote mounted extractor.
Skinflint here managed to find a burnt out Expelair unit at work, the motor was removed and the unit is simply a fascia.

And the even more eagle eyed may spot the toggle on the extractor pull cord, clue? I had to empty the bottle to get it, (not much of an effort really):D:D
