Concealed Cisterns

A concealed cistern sits out of sight behind a wall, studwork, or a WC unit, and connects to a flush plate on the front. This keeps the toilet area looking less cluttered and makes wipe-downs simpler because you don’t have an exposed tank to clean around. Concealed systems are common in wall-hung toilets and back-to-wall pans, and they suit new bathrooms, refurbishments, and cloakrooms where space and finish matter.

Main benefits and common use cases

• Hides the cistern and pipework for a cleaner, more modern look.
• Works well with fitted furniture runs, including Back to Wall Toilet Cabinets.
• Dual-flush setups help reduce water use in busy homes and guest bathrooms.
• Ideal for compact cloakrooms and ensuites where you want a tidy finish.
