Though if I do that, maybe I might as well just make the home theatre room smaller and the powder room bigger, then fit a conventional toilet suite. Will be more straightforward for all and result in the same outcome. You could get away with one frame at 70mm timber , a 20mm gap then a second 70 or 90mm frame size. All up just another 90mm off the room sizes. I doubt you would notice any reduction in either of the room sizes at all.

Do you mean locating the cistern inside the ceiling? Or mount it on the wall above head height? Ceiling placement would be difficult because the powder room is located on the ground floor of a 2-storey house. The latter is technically possible, but wouldn't that look a bit unsightly? I dunno, haven't seen any nice-looking installations of a cistern up on the wall. Happy to be proven wrong though.

I doubt you would notice any reduction in either of the room sizes at all. That's true, a pretty minor reduction in the grand scheme of things. I guess we were reluctant to make either room smaller than what they are now, but I agree, definitely an option worth considering. Re: Are in-wall cisterns noisy for adjacent room? 9Jul 10, 2012 5:56 am How often would you be using both rooms simultaneously? If people are in the home theatre room watching a movie, is there going to be a constant flow (excuse the pun - I could have said "steady stream"!) of people using the powder room throughout the duration of the movie? I live in a two person household, so for me it wouldn't be an issue at all - but even if you have a number of residents, couldn't you just make it a "rule" that the powder room toilet is not used when the theatre room is being used? After all, you will have another two toilets upstairs (ensuite and main). I understand that you are planning for all eventualities now while you can, but it might just need a behavioural solution rather than a design solution/compromise.
