Britex Accessible Toilet Suite in Australia

Choosing the right accessible toilet suite for public spaces in Australia is about more than just meeting basic requirements.

The Britex Accessible Toilet Suite delivers exactly that—making it one of the top choices for commercial and government installations across Australia.

The Britex Accessible Toilet Suite is WELS certified with a 4-star rating, offering dual flush functionality for significant water savings. Water efficiency is not only important for sustainability—it also reduces operational costs for commercial venues and public buildings. With increasing scrutiny on water usage in Australian facilities, WELS-rated products are an essential choice.

Advanced Features for Performance and Installation

  • Close-coupled stainless steel toilet suite with integrated dual flush cistern

  • Supplied pre-plumbed, reducing installation time and labour costs

  • Unique blockage-resistant trap, designed to prevent clogs and maintain hygiene

  • Choice of Centurion or Grandeur pan, allowing for customisation based on the facility’s needs
