Wall Mounted toilet on tile wall
Hi guys,
First post although I have been reading on various subjects for a while. I have purchased a Grohe frame which I have bolted to the wall and floor, covered in 18mm WBP ply and then tiled. I left it a day or two and then bolted the toilet on, no problem. I have now noticed that the bottom two tiles have cracked from the pressure of the toilet bearing down (toliet anchors at the top so there is quite a lot of pressure near the U bend). I am quite heavy but obviously I cant have this happening again. Has anyone any tips on how I could do this better? I thought I did the bolts up pretty tight (the toilet would not move by hand). Should I hav eput something between the porcelain and the ceramic tile or waited longer before sitting on it? Any help greatfully apprecaited. Dave |
