FAQs
What is a close coupled toilet?
A close coupled toilet is a conventional toilet where the bowl and cistern are closely coupled together rather than being separated. Close coupled toilets are available in a wide range of different styles, from ultra modern designs to timeless, classic options to suit more traditional bathrooms.
Are all close coupled toilets the same?
The ?close coupling? of a toilet bowl and cistern doesn?t mean that all close coupled toilets are the same. Close coupled toilets can be minimalist - even featuring rimless designs - or more ornate - especially when paired with a traditional solid wood toilet seat.
What is the difference between a close coupled toilet and a back to wall toilet?
With a close coupled toilet, the cistern sits on the toilet pan while, with a back to wall toilet, the toilet plan fits flush against a wall and utilises a concealed cistern. Both types can be compact in order to save space in a smaller bathroom, but a back to wall toilet is an even tidier option for contemporary spaces.
Why buy a close coupled toilet?
Close coupled toilets have a number of benefits - they are easy to install, very durable and hard wearing - alongside all the advantages you?d expect from a conventional toilet. In addition, they are available in short projections, which makes them a great space saver in a cloakroom toilet or smaller bathroom.
