Copper Cisterns
There are five copper finishes to choose from when selecting your Metal Cistern. Polished, Brushed, Antique, Weathered, and Verdigris. These finishes can also be replicated on our Copper Bateau, to match creating a truly striking pair.
Brass Cisterns
Our Brass Cisterns are available in Polished, Brushed, Weathered, and Antique. With warm golden tones in varying shades, these cisterns are perfect for period properties as well as modern interiors. As with our Copper Cisterns, these brass finishes can also be selected for our Brass Bateau.
Nickel Cisterns
Silver Nickel is perhaps our most popular finish across our brassware and is equally as striking on a Cistern. Also available in brushed and antique models, this versatile finish works in both traditional and contemporary settings. Works best with our range of nickel flush pipes and fittings.
FAQs
A high level cistern delivers water to the W/C pan at a great velocity than either a low level or close coupled cistern so is more effective. That is why they were designed as such!
There are two considerations here – one is that the cistern being set higher will create a more expansive feel to your room and two, it can be set slightly closer to the wall and thus create more space within the room.
Generally the water will weigh more than the cistern! Just make sure you have secure mounting on your wall to receive the cistern. And if in double you can us our cistern support brackets.
Yes indeed. All our high level cisterns are dual flush – simply pull the chain and hold for a short flush. Or pull and release quickly for a full flush.
There were some precursors but George Jenning is generally credited with introducing the flushing lavatory to the World at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He charged a penny for the privilege and so popular was the experience that over 850,000 people “spent a penny”!
