Hi,
We're hoping to put in 2 wall hung WCs in our renovation, but need some help/advice? Can they be hung, via some sort of bracket, on a strong, custom built stud wall? The reason for this is the concealed cistern - the set up of the bathroom I had in mind would be:
1. external wall
2. cistern hung on external wall
3. stud wall to conceal cistern
4. wall hung WC, affixed to the stud wall.
We've looked at Ideal-Standard range, and their wall-hung wcs are not really 'wall-hung' - the wc seems to be attached to brackets which are fixed to the floor. They tell us the brackets can only be fixed to a solid concrete floor, to provide enough support, but both our bathrooms are suspended timber floors, so this is a non-runner. Anyone know of any other brands which can be fixed to a stud, or any other way of solving the problem? They suggested a 'Geberit' frame, which would itself be fixed to the external wall and support the WC, but given that this alone costs €460/£300 it's not a road I want to go down.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Henrik
