The Caroma Urbane II Cleanflush range offers a wall-faced toilet suite with a fully rimless bowl, available in standard, back-to-wall and Invisi Series II in-wall configurations. This page covers every Urbane II toilet suite stocked at The Blue Space, including seat options, bidet integration and what separates this range from Caroma's broader catalogue.

What is the Caroma Urbane II range?

Urbane II is Caroma's mid-to-premium residential toilet range, built around the Cleanflush rimless bowl and a concealed trapway wall-faced design. Every suite in the range carries a 4-star WELS water efficiency rating and a minimum 4/2.5 litre dual flush. The range sits above the entry-level Caroma basics and below the Contura II and Liano II premium tiers.

What does Cleanflush mean on the Urbane II toilet?

Cleanflush is Caroma's proprietary rimless flushing technology, which removes the inner rim from the bowl entirely. Without a rim, water is delivered via a tangential jet that coats the full bowl surface in a single flush cycle. There are no hidden ledges where bacteria and mineral scale can accumulate, making routine cleaning significantly faster than a conventional rimmed bowl.

Urbane II configurations: wall faced, back to wall and Invisi Series II

The Urbane II suite is available in three configurations to suit different rough-in depths and bathroom layouts. The wall-faced suite (model 740500W and related SKUs) uses an exposed vitreous china cistern and suits a standard 140 mm to 180 mm rough-in. The back-to-wall (BTW) version conceals the cistern behind a wall or furniture panel. The Urbane wall-faced Invisi Series II connects to a Caroma in-wall cistern frame, which is recessed entirely within the wall cavity for a floating appearance. If you are planning an in-wall setup, cross-reference the cistern frame specification before ordering the pan.

Does the Urbane II come with a smart toilet or bidet seat option?

Yes. Caroma offers a Cleanflush bidet toilet suite variant in the Urbane II range, which pairs the standard Urbane II pan with an integrated electronic bidet seat. The bidet seat includes rear and front wash, a heated seat, warm air dryer and adjustable water temperature. It requires a standard 240 V GPO within 1 m of the toilet. A plumber can also retrofit a compatible third-party bidet seat to the standard Urbane II pan if the bidet suite is out of budget.

Colours and finishes available in the Urbane II range

The majority of Urbane II suites are supplied in Caroma's standard white glaze, which is consistent across the full Caroma sanitaryware catalogue. Selected SKUs are available in a Matte White finish for bathrooms with matte vanities or matte tapware. Caroma also produces the Urbane II in a Matte Black finish on some configurations, though availability varies by retailer stock. If colour matching is a priority, confirm the specific SKU finish before ordering, as gloss white and matte white are not interchangeable returns.

What accessories are made to match the Urbane II?

Caroma produces a coordinated Urbane II accessories range that includes toilet roll holders, hand rails and toilet brushes in matching finishes. These are designed with the same geometric profile as the suite, with a rectangular cross-section and squared corners. Mixing Urbane II accessories with accessories from a different Caroma range (such as Liano or Contura) can result in a visible profile mismatch. The toilet roll holder is a commonly searched item in this range and is stocked separately. For bathroom-wide coordination, pair with bathroom basins and bathroom vanities in a complementary style.

Installation requirements for the Urbane II suite

All Urbane II toilet suites require a licensed plumber for installation in Australia. The wall-faced suite needs a 140 mm to 180 mm rough-in from the finished wall to the centre of the waste outlet. The in-wall Invisi Series II variant requires a Caroma-compatible in-wall cistern frame, which must be installed during the framing stage of a renovation. Seat fixings use Caroma's soft-close mechanism and are top-fixed, making seat replacement straightforward without removing the pan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the flush rating on the Caroma Urbane II toilet?
The Caroma Urbane II toilet suite carries a 4-star WELS water efficiency rating with a 4 litre full flush and 2.5 litre half flush. This meets the minimum standard for most Australian water authority rebate schemes. The dual flush button is integrated into the cistern lid on the wall-faced configuration.
What is the rough-in measurement for the Caroma Urbane II wall faced suite?
The Caroma Urbane II wall faced suite requires a rough-in of 140 mm to 180 mm, measured from the finished wall surface to the centre of the floor waste outlet. The model 740500W is the most commonly stocked variant. Confirm the rough-in on your specific SKU specification sheet before ordering, as BTW configurations differ.
Is the Caroma Urbane II a rimless toilet?
Yes. Every Urbane II suite uses Caroma's Cleanflush technology, which removes the inner rim from the bowl entirely. The rimless design eliminates the hidden ledges where bacteria and limescale collect in conventional toilets. Water is distributed via a tangential jet that covers the full bowl surface during each flush.
Can I add a bidet seat to the Caroma Urbane II toilet?
Yes. Caroma offers a dedicated Cleanflush bidet toilet suite variant within the Urbane II range with an integrated electronic seat, heated wash and dryer. Alternatively, a compatible third-party bidet seat can be retrofitted to the standard Urbane II pan. A 240 V power point within 1 m of the toilet is required for any electronic bidet seat.
What is the difference between the Caroma Urbane II and the Urbane wall faced Invisi Series II?
The standard Urbane II wall faced suite has an exposed vitreous china cistern sitting on the pan. The Urbane wall faced Invisi Series II pairs the same pan with a Caroma in-wall cistern frame recessed fully into the wall cavity, leaving only a flush plate visible. The Invisi Series II configuration requires in-wall frame installation during the rough-in stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wall faced toilet?

A wall faced toilet (also called a close-coupled toilet suite) features a cistern that sits directly on top of and flush against the rear of the toilet pan, creating a seamless back panel. The back of the unit sits flat against the wall, giving a cleaner look than older exposed-plumbing models. Wall faced toilets are the most common toilet suite type sold in Australia and suit both modern and traditional bathrooms.

What is the standard rough-in measurement for a wall faced toilet in Australia?

The standard rough-in (distance from the wall to the centre of the drainpipe) for Australian toilets is typically 140mm or 165mm. Always check the specification of both your existing plumbing and your chosen toilet before purchasing. Wall faced suites are designed to connect to floor-mounted plumbing, which is standard in most Australian homes.

What are the water efficiency ratings for wall faced toilets?

In Australia, toilets carry a WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) rating from 1 to 6 stars. Most modern wall faced toilet suites achieve a 4-star rating or higher, using 4.5/3L dual flush. Some premium models like the Caroma Cleanflush range achieve 5 stars with as little as 3/4.5L per flush. A higher WELS rating means lower water bills and less environmental impact.

Do rimless toilets flush as effectively as rimmed toilets?

Yes, and in many cases, more effectively. Rimless toilet technology, like Caroma's patented Cleanflush® system, uses a directed water flow that washes the entire bowl surface in one action. Independent testing shows rimless toilets are significantly more hygienic than traditional rimmed models, as they eliminate the bacterial biofilm that accumulates in hidden rim channels over time.

What is a rimless toilet and why is it better for hygiene?

A rimless toilet has no inner rim channel under the bowl's lip. Traditional rimmed toilets have a concealed channel through which water flows during flushing, this channel is difficult to clean and can harbour bacteria and limescale. A rimless toilet flushes water directly across the entire bowl surface in a powerful swirling action, ensuring a thorough clean with every flush and leaving no hidden areas for bacteria to grow.

What is a behind-the-wall toilet or in-wall toilet?

A behind-the-wall toilet (also called an in-wall or concealed cistern toilet) has the cistern hidden inside the wall cavity behind a finished panel, with only the toilet pan and a flush button plate visible on the wall face. The result is an extremely clean, minimal look with no exposed plumbing, one of the most popular choices in contemporary Australian bathroom design.

How does an in-wall toilet cistern work?

The cistern is housed in a pre-fabricated in-wall frame (called a carrier frame or in-wall system), which is installed by a plumber before the wall is tiled or sheeted. The flush button on the wall face connects via a pneumatic or mechanical system to the cistern inside the wall. Brands like Geberit are the industry standard for in-wall frames in Australia, known for their reliability and long service life.
