The Return of the Bidet


In the past, the bidet has often been over looked with both wonderment and puzzlement in what their actual functionality was. Despite being a bathroom essential and standard appliance for our neighbours over in France and other European countries, the bidet was viewed here as an unnecessary bathroom appliance taking up valuable space and marked a social divide as it was only found in the grandest of homes, until now that is! Previously, many of us had only seen bidets when we went across on holiday to the continent but as bidets are now being seen more and more over here in homes, old and new, and within online and magazine publications, we are looking to integrate these extremely convenient appliances within our own bathrooms.

Over the past few years, retailers have seen a significant uplift in sales, whilst builders and plumbers are receiving more and more requests to install bidets in to new and existing bathrooms. This growth is also being put down to bathroom manufacturers improving the overall design of the bidet and incorporating into their bathroom suite catalogues to enable us to achieve continuity within our bathroom furniture.

A bidet is considered the ultimate in luxury to any bathroom and will instantly add value to your home because of this. A bidet unlike a shower or bath, basin or a toilet is not a basic essential but is very much an element of style and opulence and growing all the time in popularity, instantly upgrading any bathroom or en-suite and not reserved anymore for just top hotels and the select few who could afford it.

At Building Supplies Online, we offer a large selection of affordable bidets from leading UK bathroom manufacturers including Roca, Burlington, RAK, Ideal Standard and Bayswater helping you to complete any look in your bathroom albeit if it has a traditional or modern interior design.

Mixer taps are generally used as bidets usually come only with one tap insertion hole, so this still allows you to benefit from the choice of both hot and cold water. The Ultra Beaumont Luxury Mono Bidet Mixer Tap is a great option for traditional style bathrooms but our Roca L90 Chrome Bidet Mixer is a wonderful additional to any modern themed bathroom, cloakroom or en-suite.

If you love your tech, then why not go that step further and go for our Grohe Allure F-digital Bidet Mixer Tap which allows you to control the water pressure and the water temperature.
