It's worth choosing sanitary devices from the same product line or matching them so they are made in a similar style. This rule is particularly important when selecting a bidet and a toilet bowl, which are usually placed next to each other. This significantly increases functionality and allows for easy use of both devices.
Proper Distance
The distance between the bidet and the toilet is very important. They cannot be too far from each other, but also should not be too close. Manufacturers do not agree on the exact number. Some mention 20 centimeters, while others mention 30 centimeters. So, it is worth keeping a distance between these devices around these values. This will ensure comfortable use of both elements and make it easier to keep them clean.
However, in front of the bidet, it is good to maintain about 60-65 centimeters of free space, for easy access to it. This greatly facilitates its use and maintaining the device's cleanliness. Regardless of the function it is to serve, it is good to keep these distances. Therefore, it is important to accurately measure the space and appropriately allocate it to the individual devices. Not always will there be room in the bathroom for an additional device; in such cases, it's worth considering the option of a bidet with a toilet bowl.
Convenience for Everyday Use
To conveniently use a bidet, it is very important to take care of its placement. The bidet should stand close to the toilet bowl, at such a distance that you can easily use both the bidet and the toilet. If the bidet has a showerhead, it is very important that the chosen location does not restrict movement.
When installing bidets for a person with disabilities, it is also necessary to remember to place it in the right spot, so that a disabled person using, for example, crutches has easy access to the device. Choosing the place for the bidet and the toilet bowl is crucial during bathroom renovation because it affects daily life. Considering the fact that bathrooms are renovated less frequently than other rooms in the house, it is worth spending more time on this specific space. Arranging and planning all the devices makes further decisions and finishing the bathroom easier. Bidets are always designed to be convenient to use, support daily hygiene, and make self-care easier for people with disabilities.
Types of Bidets and Drains
Wall-mounted bidets are attached to the wall using a frame that is hidden in the wall. The only visible element is the flush button. The drain for this type of bidet is located in the wall and is adequately secured against leakage. This is a very convenient solution but causes additional costs when changing a floor-mounted bidet to a wall-mounted one.
Bidet drains depend on the type of bidet chosen for installation. A floor-mounted bidet requires a drain in the floor, while a wall-mounted bidet requires a drain in the wall. In some cases, bottle traps are used; it all depends on the size of the bathroom and the layout plan made for the given area. Bottle traps need a few extra centimeters of space, unlike traditional bidet traps.
