During a night out, at a festival or at a concert, they are lined up in rows: urinals. A urinal is a toilet for men, in which they can urinate standing up. This hanging toilet is usually used in public places, but nowadays it is also gaining popularity in the home. This is because the urinal offers many advantages for your bathroom or toilet area. We would be happy to tell you more about it.
All about urinals
Urinals offer many advantages, including at home. Do you want to know which ones? In this blog, we tell you all about them.
Why get a urinal in your home?
More and more people have a urinal in their bathroom or cloakroom. There are various reasons why you choose this, for example when there are men in the house who like to urinate standing up. If you have a urinal in addition to a toilet, there is no longer any need to raise and lower the toilet seat. Moreover, the toilet stays clean much longer, which is very convenient and hygienic. Annoyances about men leaving the toilet seat up or peeing over the edge of the seat are a thing of the past.
Where do you place it?
Urinals can be placed in both bathrooms and cloakrooms. Bathrooms are often larger, so chances are you have enough space for a urinal here. As a urinal is very compact, it does not take up much space. If your cloakroom is large enough, you can install a wall-hung or stand-up toilet and an urinal.
The differences with urinals
As with floor-standing and wall-hung toilets, urinals come in different designs. In addition to open urinals, varieties with a lid are available. This neatly closes the urinal when not in use.
Another difference with urinals is the inlet or connection type. The inlet is located at the top or rear. A top inlet urinal should be operated with a top-mounted urinal flusher. A rear inlet model combines with a flush plate. This type of urinal usually looks nicer and more stylised.
