Today's bathroom design trends are based on minimalist assumptions. The environment is characterised by austere and uncluttered shapes, and we want to hide as many fixtures as possible, including in the walls. A surface-mounted WC tray is a solution that, at first glance, may seem completely at odds with this concept. However, the devil is in the detail. Good design proves that a surface-mounted WC rack can equally well fit into modern bathrooms, be fully functional and at the same time present a certain added value, above all in terms of simple installation. At Balneo, we want to give our customers a choice, which is why we offer, in addition to solutions hidden in the wall, a carefully considered surface-mounted WC unit that is ergonomic, a real highlight of the bathroom and also available in a variety of colours. Take a look at our suggestions, as well as at the key questions and answers section below.
A surface-mounted WC rack for a renovated bathroom and beyond
In what circumstances would a surface-mounted rack certainly be worth considering, or even the optimal solution? It is worth recommending it above all to owners of bathrooms that need a minor renovation or refresh, but not necessarily the breaking open of walls and complicated fitting work. This is where a surface-mounted WC rack comes into play. The unit simply needs to be placed where the outdated, traditional toilet used to stand, and the drainage connection is already in place. Interfering with the wall is no longer necessary for the bathroom to take on a completely new look. A surface-mounted WC rack sits flush against the wall and takes up very little space, and the area around it can be covered with plaster or tiles.
Does this mean that surface-mounted WC racks are reserved solely for bathrooms being renovated? Not necessarily. Quite often they are a deliberate choice of owners finishing houses and flats. It is worth noting that a modern surface-mounted WC rack is a very slim construction, and its body perfectly conceals the mechanism inside. This undoubtedly fits well with the character of contemporary, rather austere interior arrangements.
A surface-mounted WC rack in a minimalist version
What does this minimalism consist of? Above all, in the fact that a surface-mounted rack is a simple form, highly valued in contemporary architecture. The water tank and all the plumbing elements and mechanisms remain hidden inside it. This makes the bathroom very elegant, which matters to most potential users.
A surface-mounted WC unit with an interesting design
The design that characterises every surface-mounted WC rack in Balneo's range is a very strong point of our products. Particularly noteworthy is the use of elegant tempered glass on the front panel. This is a very futuristic material, and one associated with solidity and innovation. The only element standing out from the rest of the body are the flush-control buttons, presented very discreetly at the top of the unit.
A surface-mounted rack in universal colours
Colour matters a great deal in bathroom design, and a surface-mounted WC rack is no exception in this respect. Knowing our customers' preferences, we settled on two colours – milky white and glossy black. Both colour versions have a huge advantage – they combine excellently with practically any colours. Black and white, along with shades of grey, have always been the colours most commonly found in bathrooms.
Surface-mounted WC rack – excellent build quality and a long-term warranty
When choosing a surface-mounted WC rack at the Balneo shop, you should not focus solely on visual aspects. Equally important is the high build quality, evidenced by the exclusive and very solid tempered glass. The frame itself is made of aluminium, so it easily withstands the loads it was designed for.
The mechanisms inside the unit work flawlessly, like a well-rehearsed orchestra, while the cistern itself produces very discreet sounds. At Balneo we don't make empty promises, so the surface-mounted WC rack from our range, together with the water tank, is covered by a 25-year warranty. In practice, this means it will most likely survive further bathroom renovations!
Surface-mounted WC racks compatible with other Balneo accessories
By choosing a surface-mounted WC unit from our range, our customers gain one more benefit – the assurance that it will be compatible with other products from our shop. In terms of functionality, toilet bowls naturally come first here. In terms of design, it is worth noting that we offer plenty of interesting bathroom accessories with colours and shapes similar to the racks.
FAQ
What are the advantages of a surface-mounted WC rack?
A surface-mounted rack stands out for its easier installation compared to solutions designed to be placed directly inside the wall. This makes it the first choice above all for people renovating their bathroom, although owners of new houses and flats are also keen to consider this concept because of its attractive design.
Which bathrooms is a surface-mounted WC unit well suited to?
A surface-mounted WC rack from Balneo's range, thanks to its design, works excellently in modern, rather austere bathrooms. On the other hand, its neutral colours mean it does not stand out too much, so it can equally well suit classic arrangements. Its slim shape, in turn, means it will not take up much space in a small bathroom.
How to choose a good surface-mounted WC rack?
A surface-mounted WC rack should be characterised by high load resistance, while working reliably and looking impressive in line with the intended bathroom style. An aluminium frame and a tempered-glass housing meet all these criteria.
Does a surface-mounted rack make it harder to keep the bathroom clean?
A cuboid-shaped surface-mounted rack does not create any problems when it comes to keeping the bathroom clean. On the contrary, its smooth surface is much easier to clean than the grout lines on the wall.
