Fixtures of this type are sanitary solutions designed to be affixed to a wall, freeing up floor space and providing accessibility advantages. These plumbing installations, commonly found in commercial and residential settings, offer a minimalist aesthetic and simplify cleaning processes. They are available in various materials, styles, and sizes to accommodate diverse design preferences and functional needs.
Employing this kind of design offers several advantages. It maximizes usable square footage in bathrooms and washrooms, making it particularly valuable in smaller spaces. The absence of a traditional pedestal or cabinet beneath allows for easier floor maintenance. Historically, these units were primarily used in public restrooms and hospitals due to their hygienic qualities and ease of maintenance, but their application has broadened to include residential bathrooms seeking a modern, space-saving design.
