The Toilet– at best a place of structure, order and cleanliness. On the walls are geometrically arranged tiles, the fittings are properly attached. Now the question arises of the assembly of the popular toilet accessories, the toilet paper holder. But where should the toilet paper holder go? What does optics require and what does economic practice require?

Functions and placement

Of the Toilet Paper Holder serves the order and the creation of storage space. On it toilet paper rolls can be arranged, or stored. Therefore, it seems logical to place the holder near the toilet. Next to the sink, or the showerhe does not seem to make much sense. Therefore, it is its optimal place next to the toilet brush, or the toilet itself. At best, it is placed on a side wall, because so annoying turning is prevented to the rear wall. There is also a guideline, in which height the holder should be attached. This should guarantee an effective accessibility at any time. According to this guideline, the optimal height for a toilet paper roll holder is 750-950 mm, from the top of the floor. However, this is only a recommendation that serves orientation. However, an exception is the public housing and urban construction dar. This is due to a targeted accessibility guidelines for the attachment of toilet accessories in DIN 18024 and DIN 18025.

optics

However, the holder should not only be easily accessible, it should also appeal visually. Therefore, the basic rule here is that the holder should orientate itself to the grid of the mounted tiles. This promotes the spatial harmony. In addition, the holder should either be mounted centrally over a running joint or centrally on a tile. The latter has the disadvantage that may need to be drilled in the tile.
