If you are considering an inwall toilet suite for your bathroom there are some major benefits to this. They are not only simple and stylish, but they also take up less space in the bathroom than a regular toilet suite. They are one of those products, though, that seem much more difficult to choose and get right than a regular toilet. It really doesn't need to be that confusing though. Let's take a look at how to make your inwall toilet suite selection.
The first and most important step is to work out if you can actually have an inwall cistern in your bathroom. If you are building a new home or extending your home this is an easy one to answer! Provided you allow for it there should space in your wall for a cistern to fit inside. If you are renovating an existing space you may need to ask a plumber if you can add an inwall cistern. If you have a narrow wall cavity or double brick walls, for example, you may be better off with a regular toilet suite.
Once you have decided that YES, you want this stylish addition to your home it is a matter of asking "Do I want a floor mounted toilet suite or a wall hung toilet suite?". If you are going for a floor mounted toilet pan you don't need to have a frame to hold it, whereas if you have a wall hung toilet pan you will need to include a cistern with a frame so that it is safe and strong for anyone, large or small, to sit on.
Another type of installation that makes the inwall design very useful is if you want to conceal a cistern in a low false wall or ‘undercounter installation’. For example, next to a vanity or wall basin. The cistern typically required for this set up is shorter but thicker. It therefore requires a false wall or hob to be built for it. The other great thing with this suite is that you can have the button front facing or at the top of the cistern
We sell numerous brands of inwall cisterns and buttons and the one that we recommend most highly is Geberit. It is a German brand that specialises in this product and is compatible with almost all toilet pans (although it is important to know that only Geberit buttons can be used).
