Modern bathroom with a bidet tap

Trends that govern the decor of contemporary bathrooms are constantly changing. What was unheard of a few years ago is now slowly becoming standard. This is the case, for example, with bidets. A bidet enhances the visual appearance of the room and is a highly practical device that provides increased comfort and hygiene for household members. With its construction, the bidet can resemble a good and well-known bathroom tap with a component that strengthens the ceramic bathroom composition.

Bidet tap - bidetta, or space-saving

For owners of smaller bathrooms, we have good news - in cases where a bidet bowl simply won't fit, there is another solution available - the so-called bidetta. This is a specific single-lever bidet tap where the water stream is opened and closed using a button on the handle. Simply connect such a tap to a washbasin near the toilet to serve as a full-fledged bidet. Typically, the bidetta handset is at the end of a flexible hose that is about 140/160 cm long. Such a bidet tap is extremely functional and practical - and this is true for every bathroom!

The bidetta has many advantages worth mentioning a few here:

• ease of installation - the bidetta can be easily installed to an existing washbasin tap;
• increases the level of hygiene and facilitates rinsing intimate body parts without needing a bidet - it saves space, as a bidet bowl is no longer required;
• significantly increases bathroom functionality - it serves not only for hygiene of intimate parts but also for rinsing items such as a mop or shoes over the toilet.

The advantage of the bidetta is undoubtedly its versatility. It's a bidet tap that greatly aids in performing daily chores related to household cleaning. Residents appreciate the ease with which they can fill a bucket with water or quickly rinse a dirty item. Of course, whether it's worth investing in bidet taps or a bidetta is an individual decision. Opinions are divided on this topic. Both options must be installed close to the toilet bowl.

The installation of the bidet should not be problematic either. It is mounted directly on the wall, where it acts as a hose with a tap. There are also even more universal and easy-to-install options. In these cases, the bidetta takes the form of a flexible hose ended with a handset, which connects directly to the washbasin. Bidettas are gaining popularity, especially among owners of smaller bathrooms and people who value convenience. With a bidet, you need to get off the toilet seat and squat over the bidet bowl to thoroughly wash. The bidetta allows you to avoid this action and significantly shorten the process, meaning you can use the toilet and wash yourself practically in one place.

Standard bidet tap

Increasingly, bathroom users are also opting for a bidet tap. The bidet is situated near the washbasin and other bathroom fixtures. Therefore, it should harmonize with these elements. It should not differ significantly from their style, and as experience shows, standard, proven solutions work best. Bidet taps may resemble traditional taps, but there is one element that distinguishes them significantly - the end is fitted with an aerator. This allows controlling the water stream in any direction. It's a significant nod to convenience, enabling effective washing of intimate parts. The market offers two types of bidet taps: single-lever and two-lever. Typically, every manufacturer of these elements offers both options. The best solution is to buy a washbasin and bidet fittings from the same store to ensure their aesthetic consistency.

Classic solutions – bidet taps

They generally work well in most bathrooms, but they are now mandatory in spaces with a classic style design or those of the modern glamour type. Classic bidet taps are coated with chrome steel, providing resistance and durability. Moreover, they give the entire setup a beautiful, aesthetic color. A major advantage of a chrome bidet tap is its easy cleaning. What's more, such an item will be resistant to water contact and will not lose its shine over the years. Classic solutions typically use plug regulators, sometimes also a drain plug. This can be opened or closed with an additional rod, which significantly facilitates the use of a bidet.

The color of chrome steel matches the rest of the bathroom fixtures and also mirrors made of high-polish silver or gold. An alternative to classic solutions can be minimalist bidet taps. In this case, they will have geometric shapes, usually. Simple square shapes will perfectly complement bathrooms kept in a Scandinavian style and with subdued wall colors, such as white, grey.
