Today, more than ever, the key to enhancing buyer appeal is not just planning ahead, but designing ahead too. As buyers increasingly seek out washrooms that are not only functional but inspirational, it’s never been more important for developers to add real value to new projects. Sophie Weston, channel marketing manager at Geberit, looks at the role of wall-hung bathroom technology in creating a stand-out space.
Wall-hung technology is an ingenious solution and one that is out of sight but very much front of mind for a growing number of UK developers. Offering a space-saving alternative to traditional close coupled toilets, wall-hung toilets maximise the bathroom space whilst offering a sleek, streamlined design.
Space-saving solutions
By concealing the cistern behind a stud wall, a wall-hung toilet reduces the outward projection of the furniture to create the illusion of space. And, where space is paramount, opting for wall-hung ceramics can really help liberate the design process – complementing wall-hung ceramics with compact design choices can make even the smallest room appear bigger.
But it’s not just all about space. Hygiene and ease of cleaning is now a huge consideration for homeowners – and lifting the toilet from the footprint of the floor is an effective way to make cleaning much easier and, with no hard to reach areas, dirt and dust accumulation is significantly reduced.
And for that extra design versatility, wall-hung furniture offers the opportunity to add the finishing touches to a project with the option of adding stylish flush plate finishes such as textured rustic wood or slate designs to shades that blend harmoniously into any décor style.
