Urinals

Q: How do waterless urinals work?

Waterless options contain a cartridge underneath the pan. Inside the cartridge is a sealing liquid, usually oil, which is lighter than urine. When the unit is used, the urine sinks through the oil and out the drain. The oil stays in place and blocks any odour from escaping.

Q: Are waterless urinals hygienic?

Provided a proper cleaning routine is followed, waterless models are just as hygienic as traditional flush options.

Urinals aren’t just limited to public restrooms. Installing a urinal in your home or business can save you time and money being faster to use and easier to clean than standard flush toilets. Waterless urinals remove the need for water entirely, making them great products for sustainability. ArchiPro has brought together a collection of the finest products from trusted suppliers across Australia, so you can find the best option for your needs.

Featuring the best urinals in Australia

Archipro has chosen the best urinals in Australia from a wide array of options. Modern home urinal toilets are available not just in floor or wall mounted options, but also in a variety of colours and materials. Although most users opt for the standard white porcelain wall urinal, more options for commercial urinals are available for situations where there is a higher rate of use.

Types of urinal

Flush urinals

Flush models rinse the bowl with water after use. These can have either manual or automatic flushing.

Waterless urinals

Waterless products don’t require a flush to remove excess waste with great water savings to be had.

Wall hung urinals

Wall hung options are installed around waist height and often afford more privacy.

Floor urinals

Floor mounted models typically have a wider catchment area, staying cleaner throughout the day.

The advantages of high-quality urinals

Once your new unit is installed, it should last for decades. By buying a high-quality product, you can be assured that you won’t be plagued with leaking connections, cracked porcelain or rusting pipes.

A high-quality product saves both time and money, as a higher end option both functions better and requires less maintenance and fewer repairs. When you need to be sure that your product won’t break and cause a mess, it’s worth spending a little extra for that peace of mind.

How to choose a urinal that’s right for you

The first thing to consider is the room in which it will be installed. It should both suit the decor of the room and not take up too much space. If there’s limited room, a single wall hung option will take up less space than a floor mounted model.

Secondly, consider how many users are likely to need them at any given time. If your bathroom is in a busy building or area, a trough style option might be better suited as multiple people can use the product at the same time.

How often should urinals be changed?

Although the urinal itself should last for decades, waterless models should have their cartridges changed every three to six months, sooner in high-traffic areas.
