Urinal

Fitting a urinal could well affect the saleability of your house in future. Bob

Why? What can you do in a toilet that you can't do in a urinal?

Almost certainly, I'd have thought!

I can almost see the attraction of fitting one in an household of all-males, who have no female friends or relatives, and where there might not be room for a conventional toliet - but what on earth would be the point of removing an existing loo for this?

I'm surprised urinals aren't more popular. It is=20 increasingly common for houses to have bidets fitted so why=20 not a urinal too? - If there is space.

Aston Matthews in Essex Road, Islington had an interesting one when I browsed around their shop a couple of years back. It was a urinal with a wash hand basin on the top, which flushed the urinal.

You could always remove it when you sold the house - or would that be taking the .............

The message from Lobster contains these words:

American females under 30 frequently urinate standing :-)

German males are not normally permitted to urinate in domestic toilets from a standing position :-(

Any local plumber's merchant should be able to order one. Apparently they used to be quite commmon in eg billiard rooms in country houses.

Would sir like china or stainless steel?

I've heard of people trying to recreate a pub atmosphere at home, but putting a condom machine in the under-stairs cludgie is going a bit far!

I hate lifting the seat up which is a pain when living with 4 woman/teens+wife

Not very likely to sell up in the near or far future.

I have a spare bathroom with a walk in shower just put in (solely for me) as when I get in from work I'm a bit messy. So I kind of designing it as I got along. Done the tiling, shower, counter, mirror, extractor, flooring. just needs a urinal and a heated tower rail :)

You may be wondering why the hell well, this room was unusued and we just slung whatever in there till I reclaimed it as my island so I thought I'd stamp my personal touch on it and be a bit different. Besides I hate lifting the seat up for the rest of the family and putting it down ... it'd be nice to just walk in and out ... off course washing my hands :)

At last someone standing with me on this :) lol.

Interesting ... just saw one .. bog standard pardon the pun but has a dim red led for nightime visits! how cool is that.

Stainless stell unless china comes with prawn crackers.

Thats a good idea :) ... but my wife might get suspicious lol

And doing a sit down job would be tricky ...not to say messy :-)

There must be a sink in there, that way you can save time by doing it while you're brushing your teeth.

I think we are all with you on this.

I'll drink to that.

Just a minute ...

That's better.

Proper Builders Merchants used to stock them, around here it was UBM Rycroft. They seem to have gone.

But for sure they are available. Most probably you need to find a professional building / janitorial supplier. Don't be too concerned, I've no doubt they'll be more then happy to take your money.

Why would you need a urinal if you have a bidet? ;-)
