What should you consider when choosing a new flush button?
When looking for a flush plate, many people focus on design. Flush buttons in various shapes and colors are available on the market, so you can easily match this element to a room with any decor. A white flush plate will look great in a modern bathroom. A model with a glass finish will be an excellent choice.
For a loft or industrial bathroom, a black flush button will be a much better fit. It is worth looking for a model with a matte finish. This will make the button look more modern, and it will also be much easier to use and clean.
The buttons available on the market also differ in the material they are made of. This element can be made of stainless steel or plastic, among other things. Some models are also finished with the aforementioned glass.
An important issue to consider when choosing a flush button is also the actuation. Electronic or manual models are available. In the first case, the flushing process is started automatically. Such buttons usually have an infrared sensor. They are more advanced, and individual settings are changed using a remote control. In the case of manual tiles, the flush is started after manually pressing the button.
How to check if the button fits the cistern?
Manufacturers of sanitary fittings and installations offer actuation plates of various designs and functionalities. The most important thing to consider when choosing these elements is compatibility with the cistern itself. The rule is that the button and the concealed frame should be from the same company.
One manufacturer does not yet guarantee full compatibility. For this reason, it is best to check in advance whether a given button fits a specific model of toilet frame. In most cases, this is provided in the product card. In the absence of such information, it is best to ask the manufacturer or representative. You can also be guided by the dimensions.
Correct replacement and installation of a new flush button
Replacing and installing a new flush button is a task that you can do yourself. A special mounting frame in the wall is used for this purpose. Very often, it is available in a set with the button itself.
Such a frame should be screwed on securely. Then it is necessary to check whether the mechanism works properly so that users do not have any problems with it later. If all the buttons are in the right position and after pressing, the flush works as it should, you can move on to attaching the last element, the cover. It is most often pressed.
Of course, the method of installation may differ for individual types of buttons. It is worth following the manufacturer's recommendations. Especially when it comes to electronic boards, where it is also necessary to connect a power source. In case of doubt, it is best to ask for the support of a professional installer.
