Today’s residential renovators are more style-savvy than ever before, so it’s no surprise that many homeowners are putting concealed cistern toilets on their must-have list for bathroom renovations. Concealed cisterns offer big benefits for homeowners in terms of their improved hygiene, good looks and space-saving ability.
When choosing a suitable design that will stand the test of time, space and style are not the only factors – a deep dive into the specifics will reveal the best brand and model for your project. One such brand is Geberit, a manufacturer of Swiss-designed, German-made bathroom products, which has been recognised in the industry for more than 150 years due to its quality and innovation.

Opt for Design Flexibility
First, consider whether you need an in-wall or an in-duct concealed cistern for the bathroom in question. In-wall models hide the cistern inside a wall cavity, while in-duct designs locate it behind a wall, in the ceiling, or inside a bathroom vanity.
Geberit produces both in a range of collections to suit different settings. Having this flexibility is important as it can help make a design possible rather than hinder it. By hiding the plumbing, both in-wall and in-duct concealed cisterns save valuable space, enhance style, make cleaning easier and improve bathroom hygiene.
Flush plates go hand-in-hand with concealed cisterns and double up as easily removable access panels to the hidden cistern, so there’s no need to remove tiles. Look to flush plates that can be wall-mounted or placed flat on a vanity top for a sleek finish to complement your design.

Choose Tried and Tested
All fixtures and fittings undergo thorough performance tests to ensure their quality and, for obvious reasons, the bathroom is no exception. It pays to look into how rigorously a concealed cistern is tested before ordering.
In its laboratories, Geberit uses specialised simulation programs to optimise performance and test the water flow inside its products. Its hydraulic flush valves are tested for 200,000 cycles, which is equivalent to 50 years of usage, and all new electronics are put through their paces with extreme temperature and humidity variations to ensure their reliability and safe insulation. Add to that the 15-year warranty and 25-year supply guarantee on spare parts, and your long-term maintenance requirements are covered.
When choosing a concealed cistern for a wall-hung pan, it can also help to check the weight restrictions. Geberit’s DuoFix wall-hung frame is designed to withstand loads of up to 400 kilograms.

Embrace Innovations – Permanently Leakproof
Think the materials that concealed cisterns and flush plates are made from are a quality guarantee? Remember to look into the manufacturing processes, too. For its cisterns, Geberit harnesses one-piece blow-moulded technology to produce highly innovative designs. This precision engineering delivers concealed cisterns without any unnecessary seams, meaning permanently leakproof products. Together with the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material formulation that the company developed, it’s a marker of a virtually maintenance-free range – and your own peace of mind.
Likewise, Geberit’s flush plates are at the vanguard of innovation. Available in electronic, mechanical and pneumatic versions, they feature fingerprint resistant coating on matt finishes and include touchless designs with in-built sensors.

Select On-Trend Yet Timeless
Keen to make a bold design statement or prefer your bathroom fixtures to blend in? Luckily, flush plates come in a vast range of designs that appeal to all aesthetics. Geberit’s Sigma range channels classic style with a contemporary edge, while the Kappa collection embraces a minimalist aesthetic.
When choosing a range, colour and model, look to the style, scheme, palette and textures in the rest of the bathroom. For a barely there look, you can hide a concealed cistern even more by selecting one in a similar hue to the wall or vanity it sits against. For a dash of drama, contrast with a tone that sits at the opposite end of the colour spectrum.
Geberit has over 70 flush buttons to choose from that were developed in partnership with world-leading designers, which can complement or contrast depending on the direction of your design.
