When designing a bathroom, choosing the right toilet flush plate or system matters. It's not about looks; consider water use, hygiene, and durability too. Roca offers a variety of options of flush plates that fit perfectly in a single or dual flush concealed cisterns.
But which one is right for you? The comparison below assists you in decision-making.
What is a Single Flush vs Dual Flush Toilet Flush System?
A single flush system has a single button on the flush plate. This button releases a set amount of water. A dual flush system has two buttons (or settings), one of which is a small flush and the other is a full flush. Dual flush saves water for light use, like liquid waste. Single flush is easier to maintain and repair.
Roca flush plates usually come with hidden cisterns. These include the Duplo, Duplo One, and Duplo S systems. Such systems allow dual flush settings—e.g. 3/6 litres (half/full) in most models.
Why Choose a Single Flush Plate?
One flush toilet flush plate may be the perfect choice in case:
- You prefer designs with simplicity and with fewer moving parts.
- The bathroom is either used lightly or is concerned about its maintenance.
- The depth or the wall structure of the cistern or installation does not allow the space of dual buttons.
But in the case of a single flush, you lose the capability to use lesser water volumes on the lightest flushes. This implies that it can consume a lot of water in the long term than dual flush systems.
Roca offers dual-button flush plates by default. However, the more common option in their current product range is the single flush plate.
