Wall faced smart toilets from Caroma combine a wall faced pan configuration with an integrated bidet wash function, built into the Urbane II range as a close-coupled suite and as an Invisi Series II suite with a concealed cistern button.
What wall faced means
A wall faced toilet has the pan sitting flush against the wall rather than positioned away from it with visible pipework behind, giving a cleaner overall look and making the floor area around the base easier to clean. This is different from a fully wall-hung toilet, where the pan itself is mounted off the floor entirely with the cistern concealed inside the wall cavity. Wall faced suites still sit on the floor in the usual way, so they don't require the in-wall cistern frame that a fully wall-hung installation needs, which makes them a simpler fit for most bathroom layouts.
What 'smart' means in this collection
In this range, smart refers specifically to the integrated bidet function built into the toilet suite itself, rather than broader smart-toilet technology like app control, motion sensors or heated seats. Both suites in this collection include a built-in bidet spray and wash function as part of the pan and seat assembly, so you get the hygiene benefit of a bidet wash without installing a separate handheld bidet spray or a standalone bidet fixture next to the toilet. It's a more space-efficient way to add bidet function to a bathroom that doesn't have room for a second fixture.
The two suites in this collection
The close-coupled Urbane II wall faced bidet suite pairs a standard cistern directly onto the pan in the usual close-coupled configuration, with the bidet wash function built into the seat. The Invisi Series II wall faced bidet suite uses Caroma's Invisi Series II cistern, which replaces the usual visible flush buttons on top of the cistern with a low-profile, concealed button system built into the top surface. This gives a cleaner, more streamlined appearance for the cistern itself, while still delivering the same integrated bidet wash function as the close-coupled option.
Choosing between the two
If a streamlined cistern appearance matters to your bathroom design, the Invisi Series II suite is the better fit, since the concealed flush button system removes the bulkier visible buttons found on a standard cistern. If you're after the same wall faced and bidet functionality without that specific cistern detail, the standard close-coupled suite delivers the same core features at a more straightforward specification. Both suites carry the water efficiency benefits expected of a modern Caroma toilet suite, worth checking against your bathroom's WELS requirements if you're specifying for a new build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'wall faced' mean on a toilet suite?
It means the pan sits flush against the wall rather than away from it, giving a cleaner look and easier cleaning around the base. It's different from wall-hung, where the pan is mounted off the floor entirely.
Is the bidet function in this collection the same as app-controlled smart toilets?
No, these suites use an integrated bidet spray and wash function built into the seat, not app control, sensors or heated seats. The word 'smart' here refers specifically to the built-in bidet function.
What is the Invisi Series II cistern?
It's Caroma's concealed flush button system, where the usual visible buttons on top of the cistern are replaced with a low-profile button built into the top surface for a cleaner look.
Do I need a separate handheld bidet spray with these toilets?
No, the bidet wash function is built directly into the toilet suite itself, so a separate handheld spray or standalone bidet fixture isn't needed.
Which suite should I choose, close-coupled or Invisi Series II?
Choose the Invisi Series II suite if you want a streamlined cistern with concealed flush buttons. Choose the close-coupled suite if you want the same wall faced and bidet features with a standard visible cistern.
