    Hi,

    I was thinking of installing an off the wall toilet and cistern in my bathroom but have never had any experience with these before. Can anyone recommend a good brand and maybe model?

    Thanks,
    Pete

    By off the wall do you mean "wall hung"

    Frames come from the cheap frame only through to the top end expensive which includes cistern, support bolts and basic waste pipes/fittings.

    I used a Grohe frame which was then boxed in with HardieBacker and tiled over. The WC was from Roca.

    Mine is a Rapid SL: http://pro.grohe.com/uk/4978/bathroom/sanitary-systems/rapid-sl-installation-system/ It includes fixings to hold te to[ rigid - which some others do not have.

    Thanks for the response Pollowick. Ok i'll take a look at the Grohe i've heard they make good stuff! I've seen some cheaper frame/cisterns on ebay but i'm a bit wary, any thoughts?

    Depends on what comes with it and how it fixes.

    My Grohe was complete with the waste outlet pipes - straight and 90deg, cistern, flush plate and pan fixing bolts. Some do not.

    They will have base fixing points and ideally they should be adjustable brackets to fix/hold the top on place off the wall. Some cheaper ones appear not to have those.

    You should be able to get a good discount on a Grohe - well down from their advertised price which will bring it much closer to the ebay versions.
