Twyford Alcona Floorstanding Close Coupled WC Pan with Cistern - Open Back

Open-Back Toilet

Open-back toilets are a type of close-coupled toilet with a cistern attached to the back of the toilet, creating one single unit. In the open-back model, there is a space at the back between the toilet bowl and the wall to access pipework at the back, while the closed back does not have a gap.

Horizontal Outlet

When the pan has piping at the back, inside the wall, it is called a horizontal outlet toilet or pan. As the cisterns are concealed or placed against the wall, most plumbing is hidden out of sight.

Washdown Model

A washdown toilet uses the weight of the water and gravity to push out the toilet waste from the toilet bowl. The washdown toilet is designed with a short and wide trapway, so that waste can quickly enter the trapway using just the force of water from the tank. A washdown model includes a push-button flush and has a skirted design with a smaller water surface area and a short trapway and can easily handle heavy loads without getting clogged.

Vitreous-China Material

Vitreous china is an innovative glass-based enamel coating applied to porcelain. This glazed coating makes the base material durable, denser, and very glossy. When ceramics are coated with vitreous enamel, the resulting product is called vitreous china. This enamel is created by applying heat to powdered glass.

Optional: Comfort Height

These toilets are usually a little higher than regular toilets. They measure from 17 to 19 inches off the ground.

Push-Button Flush Valve Cistern

Toilets with push-button flush valves are usually dual-flush toilets. One button triggers a liquid, and the other is for solid flushes. Additionally, since these valves are smaller than levers, they use less water than traditional toilets.

Dual-Flush

A toilet with a flushing mechanism with two different buttons for flushing solid and liquid waste, thereby saving water.

Optional: Soft-Close Seat

Soft-closing seats are a new alternative to classic toilet seats. Their modern design allows them to close slowly, while their controlled manner of closing does not require you to assist them. It also shuts automatically, allowing it to come down at a pace that does not make much noise.

Optional: Rimless

A rimless toilet does not have a brim at its edge, from which the water usually flows when you flush. Instead of flowing from the top, such toilets shoot water towards its edge and around it, allowing no missing spots with filth remaining after a flush. These toilets also remove any spaces for germs to hide and breed, providing a hygienic alternative for your bathroom.
