Understanding Slimline Concealed Cisterns

Want a bathroom that is a visual centre of attraction and a breeze to clean and maintain? This is where slimline concealed cisterns, hidden or in-wall cisterns, come into play. These fixtures are designed for installation behind the wall, hiding the tank from sight. Besides aesthetic reasons, the bathroom tiling also helps reduce cleaning and maintenance work. Jaquar, a world leader in supplying bathware solutions, provides a variety of enclosed toilet cisterns that address specific user needs.

Key Features to Consider

Several important factors must be considered while purchasing a concealed cistern toilet to fulfil its designed functions in the long run.

Jaquar’s concealed wc cistern design incorporates a dual-flush mechanism with flow rates of 3.0/6.0 LPF (Liters Per Flush). This allows the user to choose between a full or partial flush, thus helping conserve water.
 

2. Tank Body

The concealed cistern unit from Jaquar is made from higher-density polyethene (HDPE), giving the cistern a strong tank body with higher durability and longevity.
