Browse more than 40 flush plates and cistern panels for wall-hung toilets, from simple push plates to fully finished panels in gunmetal, berry or matt cappuccino. A flush plate is the visible face of your concealed cistern: it covers the access panel and operates the flush mechanism hidden behind the wall. Prices range from around £30 to £280, depending on brand, style and finish.
Choosing the right flush plate for your installation
The first decision is the type of actuation. Most models in this range use front actuation: the buttons sit flush with the wall surface, which is the standard arrangement for a concealed cistern frame installed behind tiles. A flush plate is the simplest option — a flat plate with one or two flush buttons that engages directly with the cistern, with no additional wall trim. A cistern panel covers the full access opening. Every model in this range supports dual flush, so the smaller button uses less water than the larger one.
The second decision is compatibility with your concealed cistern. Geberit cisterns require Geberit-compatible plates or flush plates that are explicitly listed as compatible, such as the PVD-coated flush plates from DutchLine. With 11 Geberit models in the range — from the Sigma 01 flush plate in white to fully finished panel variants — there is plenty of choice. Alongside Geberit, you will find models from Aloni (9), Creavit (9), DutchLine (6) and VitrA (5). Always check your cistern model number before ordering.
Front actuation or top actuation: which suits your toilet?
For a standard wall-hung toilet set against a solid wall, front actuation is almost always the right choice — you press the plate straight on from the front. Top actuation is used where the cistern sits above the toilet, for example in an older duct system or a specific installation setup. All models in this range are designed for front actuation. If you are unsure, check the data plate on your cistern or refer to the installation documentation.
Brand compatibility: what to check before you buy
Not every flush plate fits every cistern. Geberit cisterns, such as the widely used UP320 or UP720, have their own fixing system. Choose a Geberit flush plate or one that is explicitly listed as Geberit-compatible, such as the DutchLine PVD variants in brushed steel, gunmetal or brushed brass. For VitrA cisterns, the Loop T and Loop O panels have been developed specifically, available in white or black. Aloni and Creavit panels often come with their own mounting frame; check that it is compatible with your cistern before ordering.
Installation: tile thickness and fixing depth
One of the most common mistakes is underestimating tile thickness. Most flush plates are designed for a standard wall build-up, but with extra-thick tiles or a deep tile bed, the flush button may sit too far back to press properly. Measure the clear distance between the front face of the concealed cistern and the finished wall surface, then compare this with the specified fixing depth of the plate you intend to order. That simple check will save you a second delivery.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between front actuation and top actuation?
With front actuation, you press the plate straight on from the front — the standard arrangement for a concealed cistern installed behind tiles. Top actuation is located on the top of the cistern and is found in older or specific installation setups. All models in this range are suitable for front actuation only.
Will this flush plate work with my Geberit UP320?
It depends on the model. The range includes 11 Geberit-compatible flush plates and cistern panels, including variants designed specifically for the UP320. Check the model number on your cistern and confirm that the plate you have chosen is explicitly listed as compatible. If you are unsure, get in touch with our showroom in Rotterdam before placing your order.
Can I replace a flush plate myself?
In most cases, yes. You simply unclip or unscrew the existing plate from the cistern and fix the new one using the supplied brackets or clip system. As long as the new plate is compatible with your existing cistern, it is typically a thirty-minute job that requires no special tools.
What is the difference between a cistern panel and a flush plate?
A flush plate is the simplest option: a flat plate with one or two buttons that engages directly with the cistern, with no additional wall trim. A cistern panel has a wider surround and covers the full access opening. This range includes 32 cistern panels, 4 rimless flush panels and 2 flush plates.
