A back to wall toilet sits flush against the wall or a furniture unit, so the cistern and pipework stay completely hidden. The pan rests on the floor, which makes it far simpler to fit than a wall hung model. Also sold as floor standing, floor mounted or BTW toilets.
A back to wall pan does not include a cistern. You will need either a concealed cistern and installation frame built into a stud wall, or a WC unit with a cistern inside. Add a flush plate to finish the front, and check whether the pan ships with a seat — most of ours include a soft close seat.
Many of the pans here are rimless, meaning there is no hidden rim channel for limescale and bacteria to build up in. Water is directed around the bowl instead, so a quick wipe is genuinely enough.
Check the projection (how far the pan comes out from the wall) and the waste outlet position before ordering. Standard projection is around 500–560 mm; if your bathroom is tight, look at our short projection toilets. If you want a higher seat for comfort or accessibility, see comfort height toilets.
Both hide the cistern and look almost identical once fitted. The difference is load: a wall hung toilet needs a frame bolted into a proper stud wall to carry its weight, while a back to wall pan is supported by the floor. If you are not building a new partition wall, back to wall is usually the practical choice. Browse the full toilets range to compare.
