A carefully chosen toilet is the silent foundation of a well-functioning bathroom. Beyond its basic utility, a premium suite should offer a balance of reliable daily comfort, water efficiency, and a refined aesthetic that remains timeless. At Austpek Bathrooms, we curate a range that prioritises rimless hygiene technology and high WELS ratings, ensuring your selection is as environmentally responsible as it is easy to maintain.
Whether you are seeking the space-saving elegance of a wall-hung unit or the sophisticated automation of a smart toilet, we provide the clarity needed to choose with complete confidence.
Wall Hung Toilets With Concealed Cisterns
Wall hung toilets are the premier choice for modern Australian ensuites and powder rooms. By suspending the pan and concealing the cistern within the wall, these units create a floating effect that visually expands the floor area. This architectural lightness makes the room feel airier and allows for effortless cleaning of the floor tile beneath the suite.
To install a wall hung toilet, you will require a sturdy in-wall frame and a professional rough-in. The result is a seamless, minimalist finish that eliminates the nooks and crevices where dust typically accumulates in traditional designs.
Back To Wall Toilets With A Built-In Finish
Back to wall toilets offer a sophisticated middle ground between traditional and minimalist styles. The cistern is either hidden behind a wall or sits flush against it, ensuring no pipework is visible. This streamlined profile is a favourite for family bathrooms because it offers a premium, built-in look while remaining easier to install than a fully suspended wall hung model.
The primary advantage here is maintenance. With the pan sitting directly against the wall and floor, there are no gaps behind the toilet, significantly reducing the time spent on cleaning.
Close Coupled Toilets With A Refined Profile
In a close coupled design, the cistern sits directly on top of the toilet pan, forming a single, compact unit. While this is a more traditional configuration, modern Austpek models have refined this look with smooth, shrouded sides that hide the trap. These suites are dependable, easy to install, and suit bathrooms where wall depth may not allow for a concealed cistern.
Rimless Toilet Technology For Easier Cleaning
The most significant advancement in modern toilet design is the rimless bowl. Traditional toilets feature an inner rim that acts as a breeding ground for bacteria and limescale. By removing this rim, our toilets allow the flush to sweep the entire surface of the bowl with more power and less water.
A rimless toilet is not just a luxury. It is a practical upgrade. It remains cleaner for longer and can be wiped down in a single motion, making it the industry standard for high-traffic family homes and premium renovations.
Smart Toilets With Bidet Comfort
A smart toilet represents the pinnacle of bathroom technology. By integrating adjustable bidet cleansing, heated seats, and automated flushing, these units provide a spa-like experience that reduces the need for paper and enhances personal hygiene.
Beyond the luxury of a warm seat on a winter morning, smart toilets offer enhanced accessibility for individuals with mobility limitations. While they require an electrical connection, the long-term benefits in comfort and cleanliness make them an essential consideration for master ensuites.
A few smart features homeowners tend to value most:
-
Adjustable water temperature and pressure for personalised comfort
-
Heated seating and warm air drying for year-round ease
-
Automated flushing and deodorising for a fresher bathroom feel
Toilet suite compatibility and trap types
To ensure your new toilet fits perfectly, you must identify your existing plumbing layout. Making the wrong choice can lead to expensive floor or wall modifications.
S trap and P trap plumbing
-
The trap is the waste pipe. An S-trap exits through the floor and is the most common configuration in older Australian homes. A P-trap exits through the back wall and is required for most wall hung and modern back to wall suites.
Toilet set-out measurements
-
For an S-trap, measure from the finished wall to the centre of the waste pipe in the floor. For a P-trap, measure from the floor to the centre of the pipe in the wall. Providing these measurements to the Austpek team ensures we can guide you toward a suite that fits your plumbing without compromise.
WELS Water Efficiency Ratings
In water-conscious Australia, efficiency is a priority. Every toilet in our collection is labelled with a WELS star rating. We recommend a 4-star rating or higher, which typically uses just 4.5 litres for a full flush and 3 litres for a half flush. Upgrading from an older 3-star model to a modern 4-star unit can save a single household thousands of litres of water annually, providing significant savings on utility bills.
Vitreous China Quality and Easy Care
Austpek toilets are crafted from high-quality vitreous china. This non-porous ceramic is fired at extreme temperatures to create a dense, glass-like surface that resists staining and scratching. To maintain the gloss of your suite, we recommend weekly cleaning with a non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh in-tank chemical cakes, as these can damage the internal valves and may void your warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace a floor-waste toilet with a wall hung model?
-
Yes, but it requires a P-trap conversion. Your plumber will need to relocate the waste pipe into the wall and install a supporting frame. This is a common part of a full renovation.
What is a universal trap?
-
Many of our back to wall suites feature a universal trap, meaning they are designed to work with both S-trap and P-trap plumbing, providing greater flexibility during installation.
Are rimless toilets more expensive?
-
While once considered a premium feature, rimless technology is now available across most of our range. The benefits in hygiene and ease of cleaning far outweigh the slight price difference compared to old-fashioned rimmed models.
