Modern residential wall

Q: Hi Ed: I recently read your article on making a bathroom feel open and airy

Q: Hi Ed: I recently read your article on making a bathroom feel open and airy by choosing space-saving plumbing fixtures. You briefly mentioned a wall-hung toilet with the tank hidden inside the wall. Can we have more details on this toilet?

— Billy, New York

A: While the concept of a wall-hung toilet with the tank mounted inside the wall has been around for a while, today's concealed tank toilets take space-saving and toilet technology to a new level.

First, the new electronic-type models are more than just a toilet because they can include so many options. Aside from the extra leg room and the comfort height wall-hung bowl, features can include:

• A wall-mounted actuator plate with dual-flush settings

• Automatic flushing

• LED night lights

• Remote control

• Full bidet functions complete with self-cleaning UV light washing wand

• Warm air drying

• Auto-deodorizer

• Heated seats

• Hands-free seat lid opening and closing

All this plus the precious space-saving design help make a wall-hung hidden tank toilet a standout choice from the pack.
