Why a Concealed Cistern Is the Best Choice for Your Clients’ Bathrooms

Improve bathroom functionality and aesthetics with space-saving, quiet, and hygienic concealed cisterns

Your clients desire a bathroom that combines sleek design with superior functionality. Concealed cisterns offer this perfect blend, and the best part is that they’re easy to source, easy to install thanks to comprehensive installation guides, and if you choose the right supplier, you can enjoy warranties and support for years to come. 

Here’s why a concealed cistern could be the best choice for your project:  

Offers a Modern Aesthetic Appeal

Concealed cisterns bring a touch of “luxury hotel” into a household bathroom. Their pristine and contemporary design is highly sought after by clients desiring a modern look, and by hiding the cistern behind the wall or within a cabinet, the bathroom appears clean and uncluttered. 

Concealed cisterns also allow for seamless integration with wall-hung toilets. This creates a floating effect which enhances the space’s overall aesthetic. This not only looks appealing, but also provides more design flexibility if your clients want a minimalist style. 

Saves Space

Concealed cisterns are perfect for maximising space in smaller bathrooms, making the room feel larger and more open. The cistern is hidden within the wall or a slim cabinet, freeing up valuable floor space and allowing individuals to use the extra space for additional storage solutions, such as built-in shelves or extra cabinetry.

Consider, too, that minimalism is a prominent bathroom design trend in 2024. The concealed cistern fits right in!

Improves Hygiene

With fewer exposed surfaces, concealed cisterns reduce the areas where dust and grime can accumulate, making cleaning easier and maintaining higher hygiene standards. The smooth, uninterrupted surfaces around wall-hung toilets are also easier to wipe down and keep clean, and without the exposed cistern and pipes, there are fewer nooks and crannies where dirt can pile up. 

Reduces Noise

Concealed cisterns are generally quieter than exposed cisterns, as the wall or cabinet provides sound insulation and reduces the sound of flushing and refilling. The cistern’s placement within a wall or cabinet naturally muffles the noise of water flow and flushing mechanisms, which is particularly beneficial for bathrooms located near bedrooms or living areas where noise can be disruptive. 

Increases Property Value

Bathrooms equipped with concealed cisterns are often viewed as more modern and upscale, and have the potential to increase the property’s market value. Once your clients invest in high-quality, contemporary fixtures like concealed cisterns, they invest in their home and increase the likelihood of favourable returns should they ever decide to sell.

When renovating a home for resale, installing concealed cisterns can also be a strategic upgrade that attracts more buyers, potentially allowing the property to sell faster and at a higher price.

How to Choose the Best Concealed Cistern

The bathroom ware market is flooded with product options, and the concealed cistern is available from multiple retailers. Here are some criteria to consider when choosing the right concealed cistern for your project: 

• Quality and Durability. When recommending a concealed cistern, prioritise quality and durability. With a 10-year limited warranty on household use and a 5-year limited warranty for commercial use, Lecico’s cisterns offer peace of mind and long-term reliability. 

• Ease of Installation and Maintenance. At Lecico, our products are designed with plumbers in mind, featuring user-friendly installation processes and accessible maintenance features. 

• Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is a growing concern for many clients, both for environmental and economic reasons, and it’s unsurprising when you consider research that reveals toilets account for about 30% of indoor water consumption in a residential home. 

The good news is that Lecico offers concealed cisterns with a dual flush mechanism. This mechanism allows users to choose between a full flush (six litres) and a reduced flush (three litres), helping conserve water and reduce utility bills.

• Technical Support and Spare Parts Availability. Lecico prides itself on providing excellent technical backup support. If you’re also wondering about stock availability, never fear – from the frame fixation rods to the inlet valve, we have everything you need, and it’s always available. 

• Compatibility with Toilet Fixtures. It’s important to make sure the concealed cistern is compatible with the toilet fixtures used in your project. As it turns out, Lecico’s cistern is compatible with all wall-hung pans that have either 180mm or 230mm bolt-hole spacing. 

• Customisable Features. Some clients may have specific requirements or preferences, such as flush plates in different finishes or unique flush mechanisms. Lecico provides several choices of ultra-stylish PurePress actuator plates in black, chrome, and white, allowing you to tailor the look to your client’s preferences.

• Reliability and Brand Reputation. Reviews say it all, and Lecico has a longstanding reputation for delivering high-quality bathroom solutions backed by strong customer service and technical support. Trust in a brand that stands behind its products with warranties and guarantees to ensure peace of mind for both you and your clients. 

In the words of one client: “Lecico guided us towards sanitary ware solutions that not only matched our requirements but also enhanced the aesthetic appeal of our spaces. Their recommendations were thoughtful and tailored to fit both our style preferences and budget constraints.”

With dual flush mechanisms, easy installation, and full technical support, Lecico’s concealed cisterns are a top choice for both residential and commercial bathrooms. Contact us for a closer look at our products before your next project – your clients will thank you.
