The circle of plumbing items, which are considered necessary in the home source, gradually expands. Recently, this novelty has entered it as an installation for a bidet. Moreover, the developers managed to come up with a variety of versions and options for this important device.
Peculiarities
Lack of free space in the bathrooms until recently limited the popularity of the bidet. And low demand led to the fact that she was almost no need to trade companies. Only occasionally there were similar devices that bought only enthusiasts on the windows and racks of stores. But the situation has changed, and what remains unchanged, so this is what bidet comes if not complete with a toilet, then should at least “play with him in unison”. This requires aesthetics of the room.
Views
Installation for the bidet can be installed in the toilet in two ways: some models are put on the floor, others hang on the wall. The first option is more accustomed, to the base of the floors, the design is fastened with bolts or is placed on glue. A distinctive feature of such a system becomes a hardened “foot” – as a result, the product is difficult to distinguish from a simple toilet bowl. Embedded devices are deprived of, of course, massive fixing part. For them, the suspension fastening is used, most often disguised fake walls from drywall or plastic panels.
Installations for a bidet with a function Two in one are now at the peak of popularity. Especially attractive such a solution for small-sized bathrooms, where literally every square millimeter has to get hard to get. The differences are relatively small: the bowl becomes more oblong, and the general dimensions of the device inevitably grow. But compared to a pair of separate devices, solid saving of space is still achieved. The total consumption of water through the combined toilet will be higher than through a simple.
In addition to the mechanical (plumbing) part, the electronics coordinating its operation is located inside the combined apparatus. Water supply in the bidet is performed using special nozzles placed or on the fittings at the rim, or inside the side of the bowl. When the bidet stops the work, the fitting is moving under the bezel and turns out to be at the same level with it. If, according to the nozzle scheme, placed in the rim, the water supply is started simply when turned on. Only cold water is still in the toilet, but for the bidet you need to provide hot.
In a more complex version of the bidet, combined with the toilet, can fit the incoming liquid on its own. In addition to the components already listed, sometimes there are hair dryers, small elevators under the seat, water flow regulators, pendulum devices in nozzles.
Similar additions make using the device more comfortable, but if you refuse them and choose the most simple model, you can save a rather large amount.
Material
Toilet bowls, combined with a bidet, for the most part make from porcelain and faience. The increased cost of porcelain structures is justified by their fortress and increased reliability. There is no risk that some raids, crusts or ugly spots will appear on the surface. In addition to practical characteristics and reliability, high attention should be paid to the compliance of the elected options to the main sanitary requirements.
In addition to these two materials, it can also be used:
- cast iron;
- stainless steel stamps;
- plastic;
- a rock;
- glass.
Dimensions
The magnitude of the floor bidet may vary in fairly wide limits, but the dimensions of most models are 35.6 cm in width, 40 cm in height and 50-54 cm in depth. There are no special differences from the suspension devices, because their protruding part is mounted in the same indoors. Installations most often occupy 82 x 50 x 13.1 cm. If you select a toilet with a bidet function, its value will be approximately 77 x 36 x 63 cm.
The last option, as seen from the above figures, is really compacting a pair of autonomous apparatuses of the same purpose.
Style and Design
The market presents a huge number of options, including painted in the most unaccustomed colors, few associations sometimes with plumbing.
In the assortment of leading manufacturers now appeared versions that can decorate the interior of a variety of styles:
- retro;
- high tech;
- Modern;
- minimalism;
- Provence.
As for installations, they increase the quality of space design and allow you to disguise unsightly fastening details. The original step is the choice of contrasting in relation to the white walls of the bathroom bath – bright colors or even black painting. Thinking on the features of the designer project, it should be borne in mind that it should not worsen the reliability of the device. It is the game that allows you to realize the designations that have arisen without unnecessary problems.
Recent trends dictate shift in favor of minimalism.
Selection and installation
Block Installation is only suitable for bathrooms with capital walls. In the case initially provided positions for fixing reinforcement. In frame versions, it is already from the name, the steel frame is used. Half of the four fasteners is placed on the floor, the rest – on the wall. Such structures can be attached not only to capital walls; sometimes for them fit and partitions.
Distance (height from plum to clean floor) is not regulated by any standards. For floor bidis, the bezel should be about 0.4 m higher than the floor. But more accurate figures can only be obtained by “Tracker” to a specific device. We must try it, imitating typical use, and immediately it will be clear at what height it is convenient to put a bidet.
Adjusting using special extension cords allows you to add 12.5-18 cm.
