Despite the fact that suspended structures have appeared on the market for a long time, many people are afraid of such an acquisition. They are unsure of the reliability and durability of hanging furniture, especially in a bidet. But in the production of this equipment, all the nuances are taken into account, which make it possible to create a high-strength and wear-resistant structure.

The hanging bidet can be used for hygienic purposes after the toilet, for therapeutic massage, as a bathtub or for taking foot baths. The decision about what the device will be installed for depends on personal preferences and on ideas about the hygiene component.
Types and structure of structures
Hanging bidets vary in material, shape, size and water supply.
Sanitary porcelain is used in the production of equipment - ceramic material, consisting of white clay with an admixture of quartz, and sanitary ware - which is a combination of white clay and protective glaze. Such plumbing products are highly durable, low moisture absorption and affordable. But sanitary ware structures are fragile, which is a huge disadvantage.
The bidet can also be made from stainless steel, glass and plastic. But non-standard models are available only to order.
Modern bidets can be of any shape: square, rectangular, semicircular, and so on. The choice of this or that product depends on the personal preferences of the owners. The size and shape of the suspended equipment should be selected according to the capabilities of the bathroom.
The wall-mounted bidet can also differ in the way the water is supplied. Water can be supplied through a mixer or through a special hole. In this case, the mixer requires adjustment of the temperature and manual direction of the jet, and the hole cannot function without a thermostat.
Hanging bidets can also vary in design. Some models may be fitted with a heated seat or electrically operated. A breakthrough in sanitary fittings is the automatic mixer taps, motion sensors and the drying function.

How to choose?
When choosing a hanging bidet, first of all, you need to take into account the dimensions of the bathroom, so that the product does not interfere with free movement around the room. Optimally, there should be a distance of 45-50 cm between the bidet and other elements of the toilet.
When choosing a design, it is very important to rely on the sewer line. The outlet of the product must correspond to the inlet of the sewer riser.
The equipment purchased must be strong enough to last for more than one year. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the material of manufacture and the manufacturer of the bidet.
And, of course, when deciding to buy a particular model, you need to read the reviews of real buyers. Thus, you can learn about the hidden defects of the product and about possible problems during operation.
Installation and operating tips
The installation of a wall-mounted bidet begins with the installation of the installation, and only then the product is fastened. In this case, the wall must be strong enough to withstand a lot of weight.
For the frame in the wall, you need to make a small niche with a recess slightly deeper and higher than the wall-mounted bidet. If the bathroom is equipped with a ready-made niche of suitable size, then you can use it.
If the bathroom does not allow making a niche, then the installation can be mounted against the wall, covering it with plasterboard.
It is best to hang the bowl on metal pins. In this case, you need to use a rubber gasket, which will protect the ceramics from damage.
All threaded connections must be sealed. This is necessary to seal the plumbing.
To prevent leakage, a rubber collar must be placed between the siphon and the sewer hole. And only after that you can proceed to finishing work.
The bidet may only be used as intended. And after each use, it must be thoroughly cleaned with detergents.
