Undercounter washbasin
The basin is fixed to the underside of the worktop. The worktop cutout should have a waterproof finish.

Vanity / countertop washbasin
A fitted basin which is completely surrounded by a worktop.

Vanity top

Back-to-wall WC
The cistern is concealed behind a wall or inside bathroom furniture.

Close coupled WC
The cistern sits onto the back of the WC bowl creating a compact unit with low overall height. Some Kohler designs appear almost like a single item.

The cistern offers the option of a water saving or full volume flush. KOHLER cisterns flush 3 or 6 litres of water.

Wall hung
The WC cistern is concealed behind a wall or inside bathroom furniture and the pan protrudes from the wall, above the floor. Basins and bidets can also be wall hung. The height can be fixed to suit the comfort of the users.
