Modern bathrooms incorporate light, space, functionality, and minimalism. Modern bathroom renovations can save valuable space by using a concealed cistern toilet.
Before we get into the world of hidden cisterns toilets, let us first explain how they work.
How do Concealed Cisterns work?
The usual cistern setup will be located at the back of the toilet bowl. It will then be connected to the wall in a manner that is familiar. This is the standard configuration for toilets, and it has been so for a long time.
A hidden cistern is a toilet bowl that fits into the cavity behind the toilet seat. The toilet seat can then be placed flush against the wall by hiding the toilet cistern. These toilets are also known as Back to Wall Toilets.
This is an excellent solution if you need both the functionality and storage of a furniture unit as well as the clean, modern aesthetics of hidden cistern toilets.
Is Concealed Cistern Maintenance Easy?
There is a common misconception about how difficult it is to maintain a concealed toilet. As with any DIY project, it is possible to do the job right and quickly with a little patience and research.
If an access panel has been added to the top or front by the manufacturer, it is likely that this panel will be visible. You may be able to create an access panel that you can hide behind a mirror or another decor if your cavity wall is used to conceal your cistern.
If you are using a furniture unit for concealing your cisterns, most manufacturers will make sure that it has an easy access port.
Don't let the myths of un-serviceable toilets stop you from updating your bathroom with hidden cistern units. It is possible to access the hidden cistern either from the top or front of your bathroom with a little planning and proper installation.
Are Concealed Cisterns Universally Acceptable?
Let's now look at the compatibility between concealed cisterns & toilets. You can see that universality in concealed WC cisterns does not exist yet. There are many sizes available across our range of hidden cistern products.
It is possible to attain it, and at a great value.
It's actually not difficult as you might think. With concealed cistern compatibility largely dependent on the toilet selected, you can easily determine the type and size of concealed cisterns and make it easier to install and maintain them.
Wall-Hung Toilet Frames
Your concealed cistern must be mounted to a wall in wall-hung cases. This is essential to support the weight of the toilet pan and piping as well as any additional weight, such the user. Cistern wall mounting frames can hold between 300 and 400kg. Make sure to check the maximum weights before you use them.
Before you choose a frame, make sure to measure the height and depth of the partition wall. This will ensure that all elements such as hidden cisterns, frames, piping, and other elements fit correctly.
The standard frame size features 0.85, 1. and 1.2 metre heights with 160-200mm depth. To accommodate concealed cisterns as thin as 75mm, slimline frames can be as low as 80mm deep!
A majority of cistern frames have a flush plate that is connected to the cistern. These flushing options are not new, but they have become a major part of the home bathroom. There are many decor-matching options available.
Our team is happy to provide advice and assistance on concealed toilets and frame compatibility.
