People who want to take maximum care of their intimate hygiene after using the toilet often decide on a bidet in the bathroom, and if there is not enough space - on a concealed bidet-type faucet with a handset, which extends the purpose of the toilet bowl to the bidet function without the need to install an additional device. Regardless of which option you choose, you will need the right bidet faucet. Where to start looking? For example, by reading our guide. We suggest what to consider when choosing bidet faucets and reveal a few practical tips on how to mount bidet fittings in the wall.

How to choose the right bidet faucet?
It is worth starting the selection of bidet fittings by learning about their main types. Bidet faucets are divided primarily by the method of installation. The following can be distinguished:
- free-standing bidet faucets - a traditional solution, very often used in bathrooms;
- wall-mounted bidet faucets – surface-mounted or concealed, they do not take up any space on the floor, which saves space and makes it easier to keep bathrooms clean.
The most effective solution seems to be a concealed bidet faucet , because all the mounting elements are discreetly hidden in the wall, and only the decorative parts of the fittings, such as the handle and spout or shower head, remain visible. Concealed bidet faucets offer another important advantage - functionality.
Thanks to the fact that the elements are limited to a minimum, they are easy to keep clean. This is also a sensible option for small bathrooms. The downside of concealed installation is the relatively complicated maintenance work – it is not easy to get to the elements of the faucet built into the wall. Therefore, when buying a concealed bidet faucet, be sure to verify the quality of the selected model. Design is not everything!
A bidet tap, similarly to a washbasin or bathtub tap, is available in a single-handle or two-handle version. A more popular solution in modern bathrooms is a single-handle bidet tap. Models with two handles are found today mainly in classic and retro arrangements.
Of course, the final decision is yours alone. Consider your personal preferences, planned/current bathroom design, and space availability.
What height should a concealed bidet tap be?
Concealed bidet faucets generally resemble compact shower sets and are often called bidets. A bidet faucet with a handset is installed on the bathroom wall at a height adapted to:
- hose length in the selected fitting model,
- individual needs of household members, especially their height,
- available wall space.
Most plumbers recommend installing a concealed bidet faucet at a height of 40 cm to 80 cm above the floor. However, the comfort of the household and the ergonomics of the bathroom are crucial here.
Correct installation of a concealed bidet tap
The installation of a concealed bidet faucet should begin by carefully reading the manufacturer's instructions and warranty terms, and by making sure that the intended location allows the fitting to be connected to cold and hot water. The key to the success of the installation process is the installation of the concealed element, which requires cutting an appropriately sized hole in the wall. The final step is the installation of surface-mounted elements. The installation of concealed fittings - regardless of their type - should be entrusted to a specialist experienced in bathroom renovations.
When it comes to the optimal location for installing a concealed bidet faucet, it will usually be the area between the toilet flush button and the bidet, which is usually located in the immediate vicinity of the toilet. If the toilet in your bathroom is to act as a bidet, mount the bidet in such a place that the handset is within reach of you when using the toilet bowl. A practical solution is to place the faucet above the drain or by the sink.
