Choosing A Bidet For Your Bathroom
Bidets have recently made a big return to bathrooms and are becoming more popular by the day. They come a in variety of styles in both modern and traditional designs.
What Is A Bidet?
A bidet is used as either an alternative or combination to cleaning yourself with toilet paper after using the toilet. It looks like a small toilet without a seat mixed with a basin and has taps and a spout. The classic bidet is a manual standalone fixture which is usually positioned next to a toilet for practicality. Some bidets are built into toilets and come with user controls.
The Various Styles Of Bidets
Bidets come in a range of styles in both modern and traditional designs. Below is a list of the different types of bidets you buy:
Back To Wall Bidet
A bidet which sits flush to a wall. A back to wall (BTW) bidet hides all the pipework and looks very neat and tidy.
Wall Hung Bidet
A wall hung bidet is fixed to a wall. The benefits of this are visible in smaller bathrooms as they take up less space but they also look very modern and stylish, especially if they're complementing a wall hung toilet.
Floorstanding Bidet
A floorstanding bidet is the original style where you can see behind the bidet as it isn't flush against the wall.
What You Need To Know About Bidets
Bidets are not a substitute for toilets or sinks. They are not a necessity to complete a bathroom and are completely optional. Some bidets do not come with seats or covers and do not need them.
What's In The Box?
When you buy a bidet you'll usually get a set of bidet taps and a waste but not in all cases. Some bidets come with covers but the majority do not. A wall hung bidet will usually come with a wall fixing kit to attach it to the wall.
What Isn't?
If your bidet hasn't come with a fixing kit you'll need to buy one of these. These aren't expensive and are a relatively small cost. A seat is not essential so if yours doesn't come with one you can use the bidet as normal. Bidet taps and wastes don't always come with a bidet and these are essential items.
