    Will a wall hung toilet fit?

    After discovering a leak in behind the sink in the downstairs toilet, I ended up having to take the whole thing out. Wanted to replace the sink at some point anyway, so now is the time. I had thought about replacing the toilet too. Quite like the idea of those wall hung units/concealed ones...
