Mechanisms for creating WC flush plates from tile and finished overlay panels for replacing standard plastic flush plates in already completed bathrooms.
If a flush plate is needed from the same tile, with the continuation of the pattern and texture, this should be planned before tiling. In this case, the installer can make the visible part of the flush plate from the wall material, so the flush panel looks like part of the overall surface.
If the tiling is already complete but a piece of the same tile remains, the flush plate can still be made. However, it will no longer precisely continue the pattern and texture of the existing wall. Such an element may look like a separate insert, so in an already finished bathroom it is often more aesthetic to use an overlay panel.
If the renovation is already complete, the same tile is no longer available, or a standard plastic flush plate is installed, a ceramic overlay panel from the NEQUIID collection can be chosen. This solution allows the standard plastic panel to be replaced with a visually cleaner element without completely reworking the finish.
For concealed installation mechanisms, the support structure must be prepared in advance. As a rule, a rigid structure with two layers of drywall is required in the WC installation area to ensure the correct mounting depth, stable fastening of the installation elements, and proper operation of the mechanism.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is it better to choose an under-tile mechanism?
Before tiling, especially if the continuation of the tile pattern and texture is required.
Can the flush plate be made after the tile has been installed?
Yes, if a suitable piece of tile is available and the installation conditions allow it. However, an exact continuation of the pattern and texture will no longer be possible, so such an element may look like a separate insert.
What is better to choose after the renovation is complete?
For an already finished bathroom, it is often better to choose an overlay panel: it looks like a separate, clean solution without trying to imitate the continuation of the already installed tile.
What should I do if the same tile is no longer available?
You can choose a ceramic overlay panel from the NEQUIID collection to replace the standard plastic flush plate.
Why is it important to prepare the support structure in advance?
The concealed mechanism requires the correct mounting depth. The installation elements need space for fitting, usually at least 20 mm, which is why a two-layer drywall structure is most often planned in the WC installation area.
