Concealed Cisterns

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is a concealed cistern?

A concealed cistern is a toilet flushing system hidden behind a wall, furniture unit, or false panel. Only the flush plate or button is visible, giving the bathroom a clean, minimalist look.

2. What are the benefits of a concealed cistern?

• Space-saving – ideal for compact bathrooms and cloakrooms.

• Modern design – hides bulky pipework for a sleek finish.

• Easy cleaning – fewer exposed surfaces to wipe down.

• Customisable – compatible with a range of flush plates and WC pans.

3. Are concealed cisterns reliable?

Yes. High-quality cisterns are built to last and often come with dual-flush mechanisms, saving water. They also include access panels (via the flush plate) for maintenance.

4. Can a concealed cistern work with any toilet?

They are designed specifically for back-to-wall or wall-hung toilets. You’ll need to ensure the cistern matches your chosen toilet type and installation style.

5. How difficult are they to install?

Installation is more involved than a close-coupled toilet, as the cistern must be boxed in or fitted within a WC unit or wall frame. Many homeowners choose professional installation to ensure a secure and watertight fit.
