Concealed Cisterns & Frames
What is a Concealed Cistern?
A concealed cistern, also known as a concealed cistern toilet or a hidden cistern toilet, is a space-saving solution. The cistern, traditionally visible behind a toilet, is cleverly tucked away within the wall cavity. Only the sleek flush plates remain visible, creating a minimalist aesthetic and maximising floor space. This makes them ideal for compact bathrooms and expansive ensuites, providing a sense of clean lines and uncluttered luxury.
Types of Concealed Cisterns:
Jaquar offers two primary types of concealed cisterns - mechanical and pneumatic.
Mechanical Concealed Cisterns
These cisterns utilise a traditional push-button flushing mechanism. Jaquar's mechanical cisterns, like the JCS-WHT-2400FS Single Piece Slim In-wall Cistern, are known for their reliability and ease of use.
Pneumatic Concealed Cisterns
This WC Concealed cistern features a pressurised air system for silent and efficient flushing. For instance, the APC-WHT-5012500FSAF Pneumatic Single Piece Slim In-wall Cistern has an auto-flushing system for added convenience.
