What is a flush plate?

We get a lot of questions from end users looking to replace theirs and asking what plate will fit with their cistern, so we have written a short overview below.
The Basics
A flush plate is a device that is used to control the flushing of a toilet. It is a simple, yet essential component of any modern toilet system.
The flush plate is typically mounted on the wall above the toilet and is used to activate the flushing mechanism in a variation of ways.
Most modern plates usually consists of two buttons that are used to control the amount of water that is released. One button is used for a smaller flush, while the other button is used for a larger flush. This feature helps you to save water by allowing you to choose the amount of water needed to flush.
Flush plates have come a long way in recent years and are now available in a wide variety of designs. More styles and finishes allows them to easily fit in with the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Most are made of plastic or metal.
They can also be used to add a decorative touch to a bathroom. Many flush plates come in a range of styles and finishes, such as chrome, stainless steel, black or white. Some plates even come with illuminated buttons, which can be a stylish and practical addition to any bathroom.
Important to know
When you choose a flush plate, your choice depends on the cistern. Note that not all flush plates fit every cistern.
Some operate mechanically, like our UVO brand. Some operate pneumatically (air bellows).
Others use an infrared sensor-operated mechanism, detecting motion and automatically activating the flush.
This type of flush plate is ideal for public restrooms, reducing the need for users to touch it.
