Flush Plate

A commercial washroom toilet flushing plate that interfaces with different brands of behind-wall cisterns while offering colour and finish options.

Reduced Complexity

Minimising parts, processes, and assembly and installation time.

A large focus in this project was decreasing the costs of production and assembly alongside lowering the time and expertise required to install the unit. We developed a solution which used far fewer parts and required only basic tools to assemble. The result is a scheme which can be configured and customised for different washrooms while working with the two leading flushing systems.

Manufacture in Mind

Delivering a complete scheme ready for production.

With the design confirmed and proven we modified all components to meet manufacturing limitations with full tolerance analysis. This culminated in a complete production pack including 2D technical documentation and assembly instructions suitable for any manufacturer around the world.

For Stakeholders

Considering the breadth of people affected by the product.

Whether an installer, assembly worker, investor, or company director, many individuals have expectations and requirements of a product. In this project we are listening to different stakeholders to incorporate their requests into the final solution.

Iterative Prototyping

Validating our assumptions in real world scenarios.

This flush plate works in conjunction with existing washroom systems, so to validate that our design would work, we produced several rounds of low and high fidelity prototypes. We tested this against false walls built in our studio to simulate different installation scenarios, ensuring that the final product would function well in any washroom with the main existing cisterns.
