Wall-mounted metal holders for toilet paper: varieties and selection criteria

Regardless of the separate or combined bathroom, you always want it to look beautiful and be functional. Various organizers usually help with this. Left on a shelf in a closet or toilet cistern, a roll of toilet paper may suddenly fall or be completely lost. In this case, the toilet paper holder comes to the rescue.

The time when small handbags and bags were used as holders are long gone. Progress does not stand still, various pins, baskets, boxes and even hollow figures have appeared as paper holders. The material of execution can be any. Most often it is metal, wood, ceramic or plastic.

The most popular are metal and plastic products. Despite the fact that metal paper holders are significantly more expensive, their appearance is considered more presentable. They are more difficult to break or scratch.

Holders differ in the way they are attached. They can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted. The former are considered more compact and convenient. Unlike floor-standing counterparts, it is impossible to stumble over them, they cannot be turned over. They are usually attached to suction cups or Velcro.

In exceptional cases, metal pins or liquid nails can be used as fasteners. Most wall paper holders are considered mobile. If necessary, they can be moved to another place.

The disadvantages of wall-mounted metal paper holders are:

• high price relative to plastic counterparts;
• too little functionality compared to floor options.

The type of holder can be different.

This type is distinguished by the fact that the entire roll is placed in a box, from which only the tip of the skein peeps out. To wrap the required amount of paper, you need to pull on it. To recharge such a holder, in most cases, you need to lift the lid. The appearance can be completely different. On sale there are rectangular, cylindrical models, options in the form of a shell or an animal.

In appearance, it may resemble a hook or rod on which a roll is strung. Such a holder has a limiter so that the skein does not slip. Some models may not have a barrier. This type has two drawbacks: low aesthetics of the organizer and the possibility of getting toilet paper wet in a combined bathroom.

This is the most aesthetic type. It is mounted in a small niche specially prepared at the stage of repair for such purposes. Outwardly, it is a container in which paper is put, and then simply put in a niche.

This is the most functional option of wall paper holders. It can be made in two versions: vertical and horizontal. The first is considered the most ergonomic and comfortable. External design can be different: in the form of wicker baskets, small shelves with sides or mini-installations.

In the modern market, there are many models for a different circle of buyers.

It is made of stainless steel in chrome color, has a shelf for a telephone, and fits well into a bathroom, made in a minimalist or conservative style.Its cost exceeds 700 rubles. Of the minuses of the model, we can note the fact that there is a possibility of the roll slipping due to the absence of a stopper.

When choosing a paper holder, you should pay attention to two things: reliability and coating material. If the structure seems flimsy, then there is a high probability that even a metal product will quickly deteriorate. Not all decorative finishes can withstand the test of humid air with dignity.
