Choosing the right toilet bowl — what to look for?

Choosing the right toilet bowl is an important part of any bathroom design. Wall-hung toilets are growing in popularity, offering not only a modern appearance but also practicality and ease of daily use. In this guide we explain why a wall-hung toilet may be the right choice, how to select a soft-close toilet seat, and what advantages suspended toilets bring. You’ll also find information on installation and cleaning, to help you choose the perfect set for your bathroom.

What is a toilet bowl and why does it matter?

The toilet bowl is the essential sanitary fitting in every bathroom. It is a ceramic sanitary component responsible for removing waste from the toilet. It affects not only the functionality of the WC but also the aesthetics and comfort of daily use. The UPTREND range offers many types of toilet bowls — wall-hung, floor-standing and rimless — all distinguished by their modern design and ease of cleaning.

Wall-hung vs floor-standing toilets — which is the better choice?

When choosing a toilet bowl, one of the most important decisions is whether to go for a wall-hung or a floor-standing model. Wall-hung toilets, mounted on a concealed cistern frame, are very popular thanks to their clean aesthetic and easy maintenance. Floor-standing toilets, on the other hand, are a classic solution characterised by simpler installation and a lower price point. It is worth noting, however, that wall-hung WCs often save space in the bathroom and make the room feel more spacious.

Advantages of wall-hung toilets — why choose a suspended WC?

The wall-hung toilet is a popular choice in modern bathrooms. Its main advantage is a clean, minimalist look — the cistern frame and flush tank are hidden inside the wall, giving the bathroom a streamlined, contemporary feel. In addition, a suspended WC makes cleaning much easier: there is no contact between the bowl and the floor, eliminating hard-to-reach areas. It is also worth highlighting that wall-hung installation allows the mounting height to be adjusted to suit the individual needs of every household member. The UPTREND range of bathroom ceramics is designed to meet these expectations.

How to choose the right soft-close toilet seat?

A soft-close toilet seat is one of those details that significantly improves the comfort of using the toilet. Soft-close seats are fitted with a special mechanism that ensures quiet, controlled closing — preventing slamming and accidental damage to the ceramic. When making your choice, pay attention to the material: plastic seats are lighter but less durable, while ceramic or wooden seats are more robust and aesthetically refined.

Rimless toilet bowls — a modern solution for every bathroom

Rimless toilet bowls are an innovative solution that makes cleaning significantly easier. The absence of an inner rim — the internal recess found on traditional bowls — means there are no hidden areas where dirt can accumulate. This improves hygiene and simplifies cleaning. It is also a more aesthetically refined solution that fits seamlessly into modern bathroom design trends.

Cleanliness and hygiene

Maintaining a clean bathroom is a priority for every household. Wall-hung toilets are exceptionally practical in this regard, as their design allows easy access to the floor beneath the bowl for quick and convenient cleaning. In the case of rimless bowls, cleaning is even easier and more hygienic — the absence of hard-to-reach areas reduces the risk of bacteria and dirt build-up. Regular cleaning with appropriate sanitary products is all that is needed to keep the bowl in perfect condition.

Concealed cistern frames for wall-hung toilets — installation options

When installing a wall-hung toilet, choosing the right concealed cistern frame is the most critical step. The frame is hidden inside the wall, allowing the toilet bowl to be mounted cleanly and discreetly. The frames available from UPTREND are matched to the dimensions of the products, so purchasing a complete set guarantees full compatibility. Another important criterion when selecting a frame is the water-flush system — our modern models offer water-saving performance and ease of use.

Toilet bowl installation — what to keep in mind?

Installing a toilet bowl — whether wall-hung or floor-standing — requires proper preparation and adaptation of the plumbing. UPTREND wall-hung toilet bowls require a sturdy, properly finished concealed frame capable of bearing the weight of the user. We therefore recommend checking our range of complete installation sets. Installation should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure safety and long-term performance. Our frames are equipped with appropriate moisture protection, which increases the durability of the entire installation.

Close-coupled toilets — when is a classic set the right choice?

Close-coupled toilets are a classic solution in which the toilet bowl and cistern form a single unit. This is a simpler and highly functional option compared to wall-hung toilets. Close-coupled WCs work extremely well in traditional bathrooms where there is no need to conceal the plumbing. It is worth noting, however, that they take up more floor space than wall-hung models, which can be a drawback in smaller bathrooms.
