Concealed Cisterns and Frames

A concealed toilet cistern can be used with different WC configurations depending on the product and installation. Wall-hung toilets normally require a suitable supporting frame to carry the toilet pan, while back-to-wall toilets sit on the floor with the cistern concealed behind furniture, boxing or another suitable finished surface.

For compatible toilet options, browse our wall-hung toilets and back-to-wall toilets.

When choosing a concealed cistern and frame, check the overall frame height and width, installation depth, toilet compatibility, fixing requirements and the position of the waste and water connections. Shorter toilet frames can be useful where installation height is restricted, while taller frames may suit full-height wall installations.

Always check the individual product specification before ordering, particularly where the concealed cistern, toilet frame, flush mechanism or other installation components are supplied as part of a specific system.

For more help comparing frame heights, read our guide to tall vs short toilet frames.

Many concealed cistern installations use a separate flush plate positioned on the finished wall or WC furniture. Flush plate compatibility can depend on the cistern or frame system, so the manufacturer and product specification should be checked before combining components.

Browse our flush plates for compatible control options, or see our toilet parts for other WC components.
