Flush plates are an essential yet often overlooked component of modern toilet systems, playing a crucial role in both functionality and aesthetics. Located on the wall above the toilet, these plates serve as the user interface for operating the flush mechanism, particularly in setups where the cistern is concealed within the wall. Tapron’s assortment is designed to be the visible and accessible part of a concealed cistern system, offering a seamless and user-friendly way to control the flushing process.
The assortment of flush plates for toilets activates the flush mechanism, allowing water from the cistern to enter the toilet bowl and clear waste. Whether opting for a minimalist, modern look with sleek stainless steel or a more classic appearance with polished chrome, these plates can enhance the visual harmony of the bathroom. Easy-to-remove designs provide straightforward access to the concealed cistern for maintenance and repairs and this combination of functionality, design versatility, and ease of maintenance makes this an indispensable element in modern bathroom installations.
Material, Build and Durability
The solid construction of our WC flush plates boasts an excellent tolerance to moisture and vapour exposure in bathrooms, making these the perfect adornments for all modern spaces. Known for its strength and longevity, brass finish is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making the selection ideal for high-traffic areas such as public restrooms and busy households.
Brushed stainless steel finish is another highly durable finish that marks another range of pneumatic flush plates. It is resistant to rust, corrosion, and staining. Typically having a modern, sleek look that complements contemporary bathroom designs, these are available in finishes such as brushed, polished, or matt, each providing a different aesthetic effect. Both selections are also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring they remain attractive and functional over time.

Design Configuration
The bathroom flush plates are defined by the sleek, rectangular base plate structures with sizable round or square buttons or a combination of both. Designed to be mounted horizontally, the plates are particularly effective in making the flush mechanism more accessible and easier to use.
With two buttons that indicate a full or partial flush, the push button flush plate selection offers comfort and luxury. Round buttons often have a softer, more approachable look, which can be ideal for creating a warm and inviting bathroom environment. Square buttons, on the other hand, offer a sleek, modern appearance that aligns well with contemporary and minimalist design themes. The sizable buttons are designed to provide a larger target area for activation, making them more user-friendly.
Available options at Tapron range from stunning shades of polished and brushed gold to brushed nickel flush plate options, allowing homeowners to customise the appearance of their room uniquely without facing limitations.
Dual Flush Properties
One of the key features of the brass and stainless steel finishes flush plate is their dual flush properties. Dual flush systems offer two flushing options: a full flush for solid waste and a partial flush for liquid waste. This feature is crucial in promoting water conservation and reducing overall water usage in bathrooms. Dual flush systems also contribute to environmental sustainability by conserving water and reducing water usage in everyday activities
Full Flush vs. Partial Flush: The full flush option, in designs including the rose gold flush plate, uses a larger volume of water, around 6 to 8 litres, to thoroughly clear solid waste from the toilet bowl. The partial flush, on the other hand, uses significantly less water, usually between 3 to 4 litres. By providing two modes, dual flush systems allow users to select the appropriate amount of water needed for each type of waste, thereby reducing unnecessary water consumption.
Additional Pairings: Cisterns and Toilets
After selecting the most suitable pneumatic dual flush plate, having high-quality fittings including toilets and cistern units is equally vital. Tapron offers a diverse selection of well-made products for all modern homes. See our related products and categories: Concealed Cistern & WC Frames | All Toilets
Concealed Cisterns: Concealed cisterns are hidden within the wall or a specially constructed false wall, providing a clean and uncluttered look in the bathroom. These cisterns are compatible with wall-hung and some floor-mounted toilets, creating a minimalist appearance by eliminating the need for a visible cistern. It can be paired with a polished chrome or brushed brass flush plate which serves as the user interface for these concealed systems, allowing users to operate the flush mechanism without needing to see the cistern itself.
Toilet Types: Our cistern flush plate units are designed to suit seamlessly with various types of toilets from floating, back to wall and close coupled designs. Wall-hung toilets are particularly popular with concealed cistern systems, as they create a floating effect that maximises floor space and simplifies cleaning. Back-to-wall units also benefit from the concealed cistern design, providing a sleek and modern look with the cistern hidden behind the wall. Close-coupled toilets, where the cistern is directly attached to the toilet bowl, can also incorporate toilet flush plates.
