Wall-hung vs close-coupled: what really suits your bathroom?
When customers visit our Thana showroom, this is the first choice they ask about. Here’s a simple, Kannur-specific guide so you pick once and install right.
Quick answer
- Short on space / modern look / easy floor cleaning? Go wall-hung (needs a concealed frame & cavity).
- Tight budget / quick retrofit / rental homes? Go close-coupled (two-piece, straightforward install).
The side-by-side view
| Factor | Wall-hung WC | Close-coupled WC |
|---|---|---|
| Space & cleaning | Floor clear, adjustable height, easiest to mop | Slightly larger footprint; floor cleaning around base |
| Installation | Requires concealed frame, cavity depth ~80–110 mm, actuator plate | Direct fit; cistern sits on the bowl |
| Plumbing basics | P-trap (wall outlet) | Usually S-trap (floor outlet); check rough-in 220/305 mm |
| Noise | Quieter flush (cistern in wall) | Standard |
| Maintenance | Access via actuator plate; brand spares essential | Easy access to cistern & parts |
| Look & resale | Premium, modern | Classic, budget-friendly |
Not sure about your outlet? Floor = S-trap; wall = P-trap. For S-trap, measure 220 or 305 mm from finished wall to outlet centre. (See our 2-minute guide below.)
When to pick wall-hung
Choose wall-hung if you’re renovating the wall anyway, want a minimal look, and can accommodate the frame. We’ll help you pick the right frame–actuator family and confirm cavity depth before you buy.
When to pick close-coupled
Choose close-coupled for fast replacements and budget projects. It’s forgiving in older homes and easier to service. Just confirm rough-in (220/305 mm) to avoid returns.
Typical add-ons to remember
- Soft-close seat (match hinge/shape)
- Actuator plate that matches the frame family (for wall-hung)
- Angle valves & hoses in the same finish family
