When is an exposed cistern the right choice?
A Geberit exposed cistern allows for easy refurbishment or cost-effective toilet renovation. Unlike concealed cisterns, it does not require a prewall for installation. Exposed bathroom cisterns made of plastic or ceramic can be used with both floor-standing and wall-hung WCs.
As a practical alternative when converting from a floor-standing to a wall-hung WC, the Geberit Monolith sanitary module is an excellent choice. This sanitary module consists of a frame with an integrated toilet cistern, allowing the WC to be mounted directly onto it. In this case, too, there is no need to install a prewall or open a solid wall.
How much space does an exposed cistern need?
The space requirements vary depending on the model. Exposed toilet cisterns come in various designs, ranging from flush-mounted units installed on the WC ceramic to mid-height or high-mounted cisterns. The flush can be actuated by buttons, remote actuation or a traditional pull chain, meaning each model has different space requirements.
Is the Geberit Monolith sanitary module a practical alternative to an exposed cistern?
When replacing a floor-standing toilet with a wall-hung WC during a renovation, Geberit Monolith offers a cost-effective alternative that requires no major structural modifications.
Installing the Geberit Monolith sanitary module does not require opening the wall or constructing a prewall. Despite its slim design, the sanitary module incorporates all the necessary flush technology. With its contemporary look, Geberit Monolith presents a strong alternative to an exposed cistern. Another advantage is that a WC area with a wall-hung toilet is easier to clean.
What is the difference between an exposed cistern and a concealed cistern?
An exposed toilet cistern is mounted in front of the wall, whereas a concealed cistern is built behind the wall and hidden from view. Only the actuator plate that actuates the toilet flush remains visible.
Unlike concealed cisterns, exposed lavatory cisterns do not require a prewall for installation. A Geberit exposed cistern allows for easy refurbishment or cost-effective toilet renovation and can be used with both floor-standing and wall-hung WCs.
In WC renovations, installing a concealed cistern – where the flushing system is placed behind the wall – is often the preferred choice. Although this requires more extensive work, it maximises space in the WC area and enhances the overall design.
