When designing a bathroom that is both practical and stylish, it’s often the hidden elements that make the biggest impact. Our Tapron collection of concealed cisterns and WC frames is crafted to deliver enhanced performance, superior hygiene, and a streamlined finish—perfect for contemporary interiors or compact cloakrooms.
Built with high-quality materials and designed for longevity, these systems are ideal for pairing with wall-hung toilets, helping to create an uncluttered look by discreetly hiding pipework and cisterns behind the wall. Whether you're renovating a full bathroom suite or updating a small space, our collection ensures your fittings perform as beautifully as they look.
What Is a Concealed Cistern & Frame?
A concealed toilet cistern and frame is a bathroom system that hides the flushing mechanism and pipework inside the wall, leaving only the toilet pan and flush plate on display. This layout is particularly well-suited to wall-hung toilets, where the toilet appears to float above the floor—freeing up space, improving hygiene, and lending a distinctly modern feel.
The cistern frame plays a vital role in this setup. Typically made from strong ABS plastic and durable brass, it securely holds the toilet and cistern in place while ensuring everything is neatly concealed for a smooth, uninterrupted surface. Most models come with adjustable height and depth for flexible installation and can support standard or slim-profile toilets with ease.
Benefits of a Concealed Cistern & Frame System
- Minimalist Aesthetic: Only the flush plate and pan are visible, helping you achieve a sleek, clutter-free finish.
- Space-Saving Design: Perfect for smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms, this setup maximises floor space and helps make your room feel larger.
- Improved Hygiene: Wall-mounted toilets with hidden cisterns allow for easier cleaning, with fewer gaps and corners to collect dust or debris.
- Quiet, Eco-Friendly Flushing:The cistern is concealed behind the wall, significantly reducing flushing noise and maintaining a peaceful environment. Dual flush systems offer water-saving options—helping to lower utility bills and reduce environmental impact.
- Strong and Reliable: Designed to support the weight of wall-hung WCs, our frames provide unmatched structural integrity for long-lasting performance.
Dual Flush Concealed Cisterns – Efficiency Meets Innovation
Traditional single-flush toilets use the same volume of water for every flush—regardless of the waste type. In contrast, dual flush concealed cisterns offer two flushing options: a full flush for solid waste and a reduced flush for liquids. This smarter design significantly cuts down on unnecessary water usage and supports a more sustainable home.
Every dual flush system in our collection is engineered for easy installation, with components pre-assembled for quicker setup. Adjustable frames and universal fittings ensure compatibility with most standard wall-hung toilets and modern flush plates.
Flush Plates – Form and Function in Harmony
A concealed cistern is always paired with a flush plate, which acts as the interface for flushing. Mounted on the wall, the plate triggers either a full or partial flush depending on your water-saving preference. Available in a variety of finishes—including chrome, brushed brass, matt black, brushed bronze, and gunmetal—our flush plates complement the rest of your bathroom décor while adding a subtle layer of sophistication.
Choose from square, round, or rectangular button styles for a look that suits your personal taste. Whether you prefer minimalist detailing or tactile surfaces, there’s a flush plate in our range to complete your toilet system seamlessly.
How Does the System Work?
- The cistern is installed behind the wall, supported by a strong frame that holds both the cistern and the toilet pan securely in place.
- The flush plate—mounted to the wall—allows you to operate the toilet via either a full or half flush, depending on the system.
- Water from the cistern is released upon activation of the flush plate and directed into the bowl, efficiently clearing waste while using only the necessary volume of water.
- With no visible pipework and an easily cleanable setup, the system contributes to both form and function in your bathroom.
Our concealed cisterns and frames come in a variety of heights—800mm, 850mm, 1120mm, and 1200mm—to accommodate different spaces and installation preferences. Whether you're designing a minimalist en-suite, modern master bathroom, or compact cloakroom, there’s a solution in our collection to suit your needs.
With high-performance engineering, water-saving technology, and sleek design, concealed toilet cistern systems remain one of the smartest upgrades for any contemporary bathroom project.
