Only the flush plate shows.. Only the fixing bolts and the water and drain connections come out of the wall.

Its big advantage is cleaning: the floor under the bowl stays clear. It also takes up less room, which matters in a narrow WC. In one bathroom, a built-in shelf was formed around the frame, and above the toilet only the flush plate shows.

A wall-hung toilet can only go in while the wall is open, because the frame is hidden behind the render and the tiles. If you're thinking of one, say so before the pipework starts. The gap between the bowl and the wall is usually closed with silicone.
