A Concealed Cistern Frame – Uncompromising Aesthetics and Functionality
Are you looking for a way to create a modern bathroom with a touch of minimalism? Or maybe you like layouts where the mounting elements are hidden and the interesting design of each fixture takes center stage instead? The way to achieve that kind of interior is to swap the standard toilet installation method for a concealed cistern frame. This is a solution that gives a bathroom an incredibly attractive look while staying fully functional.
A concealed WC installation set – a way to an elegant bathroom
A concealed cistern frame is a kind of "frame" from which the toilet bowl is hung. None of the toilet's mounting elements are visible - all that remains on the outside is the toilet bowl and the flush button. This kind of construction means the toilet bowl and the button take center stage. So you can choose a stylish ceramic bowl in an oval or square shape, in white, black, or any other interesting color, and be sure that it (rather than a large cistern) is what catches the eye. On a smooth wall, only the flush button stands out, and you can treat it as a decorative element. There's a huge range of models to choose from: matte, glossy, chrome, marble-effect... It's worth pairing it with your fittings - the bathroom will then feel very harmonious.
A concealed installation works particularly well in minimalist bathrooms, where the focus is on fewer elements, but in interesting, bold forms. A bulky cistern definitely doesn't belong among stylish fittings. Smooth wall surfaces, undisturbed by any protruding elements, are one of the hallmarks of an elegant, minimalist style. Do you like simplicity and order? A concealed cistern frame is a solution you'll love.
A concealed cistern frame – functional and convenient
A concealed cistern frame isn't just a way to bring style into your interior. It also makes everyday bathroom use easier. Because all the frame's components are hidden inside the wall, you don't have to clean them. A cistern that's on the outside needs regular cleaning, since bacteria and germs build up on it. A hidden frame improves hygiene in the bathroom and means you have one less thing to clean!
What's more, hiding the frame in the wall saves a lot of space. Owners of small bathrooms especially appreciate this. One less element sticking out of the wall always means more lightness and space in the bathroom.
The Fix-Frame Standard concealed frame is fully hidden inside the wall - the only visible element is the flush button, which you can treat as a decorative feature and match to your fittings or toilet paper holder
Which frame should you choose?
When choosing a concealed cistern frame, make sure it's solidly built. After all, it'll be serving you for years! In Balneo's range, you'll find, for example, the Fix-Frame Standard frame, which has:
- a solid construction made of thick, powder-coated steel,
- a weld-free water tank,
- a monolithic tank with anti-condensation polystyrene insulation.
It's also worth making sure the frame you choose has adjustable flush volume. This is both an eco-friendly and economical solution. For the Fix-Frame Standard, you can choose between 6 liters and 3 liters. You don't always need a large amount of water, and thanks to the two buttons, you can save quite a lot of it!
It's also important that replacement parts are available for the model you choose. If something in the frame breaks, you won't need to buy a whole new unit - just replace the damaged part.
