Frequently Asked Questions
What is a back to wall toilet?
A back to wall toilet sits flush against the wall or a WC unit, with the cistern concealed behind the wall or inside furniture. This gives a neat, minimal finish.
Do back to wall toilets need a separate cistern?
Usually, yes. Many back to wall toilets require a concealed cistern or WC unit. Always check the product details to see what is included.
Are back to wall toilets easy to clean?
Yes. Because the pan sits close to the wall and has fewer exposed gaps, back to wall toilets can be easier to clean than more traditional designs.
Are back to wall toilets suitable for modern bathrooms?
Yes. Back to wall toilets are popular in modern bathrooms because they hide the cistern and create a clean, fitted look.
What should I check before buying a back to wall toilet?
Check the toilet projection, pan shape, seat inclusion, waste outlet, concealed cistern compatibility and whether you need a matching WC unit.
