Back To Wall Toilets

A back-to-wall toilet has the pan fixed flush against the wall, with the cistern sitting behind or on top of it. The closed back hides the pipework and leaves no gap to collect dust, so the toilet looks tidy and is easy to clean. 

Back-to-wall toilets suit most modern bathrooms. The close fit saves a little floor space, and the clean, compact shape works with both small ensuites and larger family bathrooms. Many designs are rimless, which makes the bowl easier to wipe and keep fresh. 

Check the trap type before you order. The pan has to match your drain outlet, which may exit through the floor or the wall, and the outlet position decides which model fits. Measure the distance from the wall to the outlet, and check the overall projection against your layout. 

Allow comfortable clearance in front of the toilet and beside it. Think about the seat, the flush buttons and whether you want a soft-close lid, since these affect daily comfort and what is included. 

A licensed plumber should install the toilet and confirm that the connections and seals are correct. 

Think about finish and comfort too. A soft-close seat reduces noise, and a dual flush button helps save water, so check the product details to find a model that suits your household. 

Browse the range to compare shapes and sizes, and choose a back-to-wall toilet that suits your bathroom.
