Toilets & Cisterns For Furniture
When you are fitting a back to wall toilet unit or combination bathroom furniture, you need a compatible WC pan and cistern designed specifically to work with concealed furniture installations. Our toilets and cisterns for furniture range covers the components needed to complete your furniture setup — browse below or check individual furniture listings for recommended compatible products.
What Makes a Toilet Suitable for Furniture?
Toilets designed for furniture installations — also called back to wall toilets or furniture-compatible pans — have a flat rear profile that sits flush against the furniture unit, with the waste outlet and cistern connections configured to work with a concealed cistern positioned inside the furniture behind the pan. Unlike close coupled toilets where the cistern sits visibly on the back of the pan, furniture-compatible toilets are designed to work with the cistern completely hidden from view inside the housing unit.
Cisterns for Furniture — Concealed and Compact
Cisterns for furniture are slimline, compact designs engineered to fit inside standard furniture unit depths — typically under 200mm deep to fit within a typical back to wall toilet housing. They include a flush mechanism that connects to a flush plate mounted on the front face of the furniture, and waste connections compatible with standard UK soil pipe configurations. Always check the specific cistern dimensions and furniture compatibility before ordering to ensure a correct fit.
Choosing the Right Pan and Cistern Combination
Most furniture manufacturers recommend specific compatible WC pans and cisterns for their toilet housing units — always check the furniture product specifications for these recommendations before purchasing separately. Browse our toilets for furniture range for pans designed specifically for concealed cistern installations.
