I've had very bad experience with previous push button toilets some 10 years ago where I got so fed up with the mechanism not working properly that I reverted to a handle based cistern.
We've got some 5 bathrooms to get ready for plumbing first fixing in a few weeks and I need to supply the parts for everything. What do people recommend in the following:
1. Wall mounted toilet frames i.e. floating toilets, which are the best frames to consider and which toilets are good (does the frame and toilet manufacturer have to be the same or is the frame universally standard?)
2. As the cistern will be boxed in and tiled, those face plates with 2 buttons, what happens if something leaks or does not flush, will we have to break the false wall and tiling to get to the tank. My builder says we just take off the silver face plate (two button) and that will be enough room to access the parts in the cistern for changing - is that true?
3. Are these fancy two button wall plate systems good - I mean how does a light push of a button activate a powerful flush compared to a handle, and which is better for old people usually?
4. Best place to get these bits online / offline?
5. Any other tips you recommend on the above?
