My sister bought a new build property which has wall hung toilets, NK by Noke Porcelona
The pans are all moving enough for the silicone sealant to fail across the top of the pan and if you put a bit of weight on it it opens up by about 5mm. They've been in use (light use 4 toilets in a holiday home) for 3 years.
I'm Gas Safe, don't do a great deal of bathroom work, not fitted a wall hung toilet before so not sure of what the cause is.
It seems to be the pan flexing away from the wall as the movement is at the top.
Haven't had a chance to do the obvious 1st check and see if they did the nuts up tight enough, in the hope that the wall frame is not flexing.
Is it a case of a small amount of movement is expected when an adult sits on it and it should be sealed on the same principle as a bath? Do I chuck 75kg of bagged sand on it and re-silicone, which would hopefully prevent further failure of the silicone?
Will there be enough access through the flush panel to inspect and tighten the wall fixings at the top of the frame? Any advice will be appreciated.
