Hidden toilet flush buttons: how to choose the right solution?

Introduction

Concealed toilet flush buttons are becoming an increasingly popular choice in modern bathroom and toilet interiors. They allow you to do away with visible plastic elements and create a seamless, architecturally clean space.

However, when choosing such a solution, questions often arise:

• Do all hidden buttons fit any WC module?
• What are the differences between the different systems?
• What is important to know before installation?

In this article, we will explain in detail how to choose a concealed toilet flush button so that the result is not only aesthetic, but also practical.

What is a hidden toilet flush button?

A concealed toilet flush button is a toilet flush system that is installed under the tiles and covered with the same coating as the wall. After installation, the button becomes almost invisible, but remains fully functional.

Unlike standard buttons:

• no frames
• no visible plastic surfaces
• the entire system blends in with the tiles

It's a solution that allows function to remain invisible and design to dominate.

Which WC modules are concealed buttons compatible with?

One of the most important aspects when choosing a concealed WC button is compatibility with the WC module .

Hidden buttons are most commonly applied to the following systems:

• Geberit (Sigma, Delta, Omega)
• TECE
• Grohe
• Alca / Alcaplast
• Pucci
• Villeroy & Boch, Vigour, Conel

It is very important to choose a solution for a specific system because:

• the mechanisms are different
• the lengths of the lowering rods are different
• installation depths vary

An incorrectly selected button may not work or require additional adjustments during installation.

What is the difference between "basic", "full" and "full set" solutions?

When choosing a concealed toilet button, you often come across different sets.

Basic version

• front part of the button
• magnetic fastening
• lowering rods
• installation template

Suitable for experienced craftsmen who already have the necessary tools.

Complete set

• front and back
• screws and locking pins
• magnets
• lowering rods
• installation template

This is a safer choice that ensures a stable installation.

Full Set

• complete mechanism
• installation templates
• additional cutting or machining tools

It is most often chosen when you want to get everything in one set.

When is it worth choosing a SIDE WC button?

SIDE type concealed WC buttons allow you to move the flushing function to the side wall plane. This is especially useful:

• when you want a completely clean front view
• when the WC area is limited in space
• in architectural projects with non-standard solutions

SIDE solutions are most often used with Geberit or TECE systems.

Installation is the most important success factor

Even the best hidden toilet button will not give a good result if:

• will not be planned properly
• will be installed without templates
• will be installed outside of tiling

Therefore, it is recommended:

• use manufacturer's installation templates
• to install together with tiles
• entrust the work to an experienced tiler

Only then will the hidden solution appear truly "invisible."

Who are hidden toilet buttons best suited for?

Such solutions are particularly suitable for:

• for modern and minimalist interiors
• for spaces designed by architects
• for higher-end renovations
• for customers who value durability

This is not a mass solution, but a thoughtful choice for those who want more than a standard result.
