Today there is a huge range of design options available to anyone remodeling their bathroom or even building a new one. Along with the selection of various bathroom equipment and furniture, there is the new and attractive option of wall-hung toilets and built-in cisterns.
The concealed cistern is becoming an increasingly popular option among homeowners due to a number of purported benefits it can bring to the bathroom. Unlike a conventional toilet, the cistern is hidden from view, rather than concealed behind a wall. Combined with a stylish wall-mounted toilet bowl, it is not difficult to understand the benefits of such an installation.
First, a concealed cistern is generally relatively easy to maintain, even though it is concealed behind a wall. Access for any repairs is through the drive plate, which is visible in the bathroom. Although the cistern is hidden, therefore it is not difficult to reach it in times of need.
Another great benefit of the concealed cistern is the reduction of noise in the bathroom. This is because most of the sound created by a wall-hung toilet flush is hidden behind the wall, minimizing volume within the bathroom. This can provide a more pleasant experience for the homeowner who has this type of toilet installed.
Another advantage of the concealed cistern and wall-hung toilet is that they generally provide a much more hygienic and easy-to-clean experience for the homeowner. This is due to the design of the toilet, which is suspended above the floor and thus creates space for cleaning the floor and wall around the facility.
It is also true that the toilet itself is easier to clean. Smaller in size and with fewer nooks and crannies, cleaning the toilet bowl is relatively simple with its clearly exposed, easy-to-wipe sides. Both factors make cleaning faster and the bathroom more hygienic.
Concealed cisterns also boast considerable strength and durability, although these qualities might seem like unlikely attributes of a toilet that is effectively ‘hanging’ on a wall. With the concealed cistern that can support up to 400 kg of weight, with professional installation it can very easily support even the heaviest people using it.
There are also environmental advantages to using the wall-hung toilet and a concealed cistern. This is because most flush hobs have been designed with a dual flush mechanism. This means that water is saved every time the toilet is used. Of course, saving water also brings economic benefits for the owner.
However, despite all these plus points, perhaps the most appreciated aspect of the wall-mounted toilet and the concealed cistern is the fact that both are very pleasing to the eye. There are several factors that make the whole concept an extremely attractive option when designing and equipping a bathroom.
As mentioned above, since the cistern is placed on the inside of the wall, there is very little clutter in the bathroom. This makes for a much cleaner looking design in a bathroom with unsightly plumbing and toilet parts hidden from view.
In addition to this, there are several attractive wall-hung toilet designs now on the market, including luxurious classic styles and quirky, colorful options. The wide range now available allows for greater customization options for a bathroom redesign or build, and means homeowners can find something that really suits their taste and the ‘feel’ they want to create.
This type of concealed toilet and cistern is also perfect for those looking to create a modern and minimalist look in their home. The streamlined shape of the wall-hung toilet can be a perfect complement to other contemporary features, such as a frameless shower enclosure or a wall-hung sink.
There are several important benefits to installing a concealed cistern in a bathroom, ranging from the practical to the elegant. In all cases, it is recommended to consult a bathroom accessory expert to ensure that everyone can create a bathroom that suits their specific wishes, requirements and tastes.
