    Looking for any experience or advice regarding fitting concealed cisterns in a new build -, in particular two brands, Geberit & Grohe, with the Grohe about €25 extra.

    They are both good. Both german brands from memory. However far more people have generit agencies in the UK then grohe.

    Make sure if its a semi D they are low pressure valves. Unless you have them pumped.

    The Grohe has its stamp on the name plate and is more known so if your brand aware..

    FYI. i have sold both. Any problems i got was down to poor installiation not the product.


    PS: Keep 2 mtrs of tiles to get into the frame should you need to

    Thanks for that. Is there anyway of concealing the cistern without having to take down a wall / tiles to get at it for repairs etc...

    There is not usually much work done its normally done through the dlush plate however experience has told me this is an unreliable method so keep the tiles.
