In-Wall Toilets

An in-wall toilet hides the cistern inside the wall, so only the pan and the flush plate are visible. The result is a clean, minimal look that makes a bathroom feel more spacious and modern. 

With the cistern concealed, the toilet projects less into the room and the surface behind it is smooth and flat. This suits compact bathrooms and design-led spaces. Pans may be wall-hung, which floats above the floor, or floor-mounted with a concealed cistern behind. 

Planning is important. The in-wall cistern sits inside a frame that must be installed during the build, usually before the wall is lined. Check the wall depth and the position of the frame, and choose a flush plate that suits your finish and style. 

The cistern must stay accessible. The flush plate usually opens so that a tradesperson can reach the mechanism for servicing, so do not tile over it permanently. A licensed plumber should install the frame and the pan. 

Finish matters on the flush plate. Choose a style and colour that match your tapware and accessories, so the wall looks neat and the flush plate blends into the room. 

Browse the range to compare pans and flush plates, and choose an in-wall toilet that suits your bathroom. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an in-wall toilet? 
A toilet with the cistern hidden inside the wall, leaving only the pan and flush plate visible. 

What is the difference between an in-wall toilet and a back-to-wall toilet? 
An in-wall toilet hides the cistern in the wall, while a back-to-wall toilet keeps it on or behind the pan. 

Can I service an in-wall cistern? 
Yes. The flush plate usually opens, giving a tradesperson access to the mechanism. 

When should an in-wall cistern frame be installed? 
During the build, before the wall is lined and tiled, so it is difficult to add later.

Do wall-hung in-wall toilets need a support frame? 
Yes. The frame carries the pan, so a plumber should install it securely.
