Urinal wall-mounted elements: Efficient installation for new construction and renovation
Modern sanitary technology now disappears almost invisibly behind the wall. Urinal installation elements (also called pre-wall modules) allow for quick and clean installation without major structural alterations. These self-supporting steel frame constructions not only provide the necessary support for heavy ceramic basins, but often also include the connections for the water supply, wastewater, and the flushing control system.
Advantages of drywall installation
Using drywall elements saves a significant amount of time compared to traditional brickwork. Since there are no drying times for mortar or plaster, the plasterboard cladding and subsequent tiling can take place immediately after the technical inspection.
What types of installation elements are there?
Choose the appropriate module based on your room layout:
- Drywall elements (self-supporting): Solid steel frames for mounting in front of a solid wall or within a stud wall. Ideal for cladding with plasterboard.
- Wet construction elements: Compact load-bearing elements for embedding in masonry or concrete in solid masonry.
- Height-adjustable elements: Allow flexible adjustment of the urinal height – essential for accessible toilets or children's facilities.
Expert knowledge on urinal elements
Why should you choose an installation element with integrated sound insulation?
Flowing noises in wastewater pipes can be perceived as disturbing in adjacent rooms. Professional installation elements feature sound-decoupled brackets and insulation mats that minimize sound transmission to the building structure, thus ensuring living comfort and compliance with sound insulation standards (DIN 4109).
Do waterless urinals require special installation components?
In principle, waterless systems can be mounted on standard fixtures. However, since no water supply is required, the connection to the fixture can remain sealed, or special brackets without a cistern preparation can be used. The crucial factor remains the stable mounting of the ceramic fixture, which is ensured by the fixture itself.
How do I find the right component for my dishwasher control system?
Ensure that the installation element is compatible with your chosen urinal flushing system (manual or infrared). Many frames feature universal fittings for common rough-in sets, while brand-name systems like Geberit or Grohe often require proprietary solutions for their own flush plates.
Your advantages during system installation:
- Safety: Tested statics for loads up to 100 kg and more.
- Flexibility: Height and depth adjustable feet for uneven floors.
- Durability: Corrosion-protected, powder-coated frame profiles.
- Future-proof: Easy replacement of fittings thanks to standardized inspection openings.
