Corner Urinals, Wall-Hung and Floor-Standing Urinals — Types and Specification

Types of urinal

• Corner urinal — A triangular bowl that fits a 90-degree corner. Uses space no other fixture can, and suits small washrooms, staff toilets and homes.
• Wall-hung bowl urinal — The standard urinal, bracketed to the wall with the floor clear beneath. The most common type in offices, schools and malls.
• Flat-back or half-stall urinal — Taller bowl with a deeper lip that catches splashes, for busy public washrooms.
• Floor-standing stall urinal — Runs down to the floor, so users of any height can use it. Hard-wearing and suited to stadiums and transport hubs.
• Child-height urinal — A smaller bowl mounted lower for primary schools and family facilities.
• Waterless urinal — Seals the drain with a cartridge or valve instead of water, saving tens of thousands of litres a year.

Where a corner urinal makes sense

A corner urinal earns its place wherever straight wall is scarce. In a small office or shop washroom, the corner beside the door is often the only space left once the WC and basin are in; a wall-hung bowl there would block the door swing, while a corner bowl tucks into the angle.

It is also a popular choice in homes. Many Indian bungalows and farmhouses add a urinal to a common or guest bathroom, and a corner model fits without rearranging the WC and basin. It uses much less water per use than flushing a WC.

The limitation is capacity. A corner urinal is a single-user fixture with a smaller bowl than a full wall-hung urinal, so a busy public washroom still needs a row of standard urinals along a wall, spaced properly.
