How to choose the right bidet faucet?
It is worth starting the selection of bidet fittings by learning about its main types. Bidet faucets are divided primarily according to the method of installation. We can distinguish:
- floor-standing bidet faucets - this is a traditional solution, very often used in bathrooms;
- wall-mounted bidet faucets – surface-mounted or flush-mounted, they do not take up 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 handset, remain visible. Concealed bidet faucets offer another important advantage – functionality.
By keeping the elements to a minimum, they are easy to keep clean. It is also a reasonable option for small bathrooms. The disadvantage of flush-mounted installation is that it is quite complicated to carry out any maintenance work - it is not easy to get to the faucet elements built in the wall. Therefore, when purchasing a concealed bidet faucet, be sure to verify the quality of the selected model. Design is not everything!
The bidet faucet, just like the washbasin or bathtub faucet, is available in a version with one handle or two taps. A more popular solution in modern bathrooms is a single-lever bidet faucet. Models with two handles are found today mainly in classic and retro arrangements.
Of course, the final decision is only yours. Take into account your personal preferences, planned/current bathroom design and space availability.
At what height should a concealed bidet faucet be?
Concealed bidet faucets generally resemble compact shower sets and are often called bidets. The bidet faucet with showerhead is installed on the bathroom wall at a height adapted to:
- hose length in the selected fitting model,
- individual needs of household members, in particular their height,
- available wall space.
Most plumbing installers recommend installing a concealed bidet faucet at a height of 40 cm to 80 cm above the floor level. However, the comfort of household members and the ergonomics of the bathroom are decisive here.
Correct installation of a concealed bidet faucet
Installation of a concealed bidet faucet should begin by carefully reading the manufacturer's instructions and warranty conditions, and by making sure that the final location allows for connecting the fittings to cold and hot water. The installation of the concealed element is crucial to the success of the installation process, which requires cutting an appropriately sized hole in the wall. The last step is the installation of surface-mounted elements. The installation of concealed fittings - regardless of its type, should be entrusted to a specialist with experience in bathroom renovations.
When it comes to the optimal place to install 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 serve as a bidet, install the bidet in such a point that the showerhead is within your reach when you use the toilet bowl. A practical solution is to place the faucet above the drain or next to the sink.
