Bidets

Featuring the best bidets in New Zealand

The presence of a bidet can add to the sophistication of a bathroom and elevate its style. The traditional standalone option is a simple addition that can be easily installed in most situations. Previously seen as a fixture only in hotels and commercial buildings in New Zealand, they are becoming more commonplace in the home. ArchiPro features only the best bidets in New Zealand from leading brands and suppliers you can trust. They are an important part of a wider range of high-quality toilet solutions that you can consider to rejuvenate your bathroom.

Types of bidet toilets

Stand-alone bidet toilets

These are traditional bidet setups where the bidet is a separate fixture installed next to the toilet. This arrangement allows for a dedicated space for bidet functions, but it requires more bathroom space.

Toilet seat bidets

These are retrofit options that replace your existing toilet seat with one that includes built-in bidet functionality. They are popular due to their easy installation and features like heated seats, adjustable water pressure, and temperature control.

Handheld bidet sprayers

Similar to a showerhead, these sprayers are attached to the toilet via a flexible hose. They offer manual control over the cleaning process and are a straightforward, cost-effective solution.

Under-seat bidet attachments

These are installed between the existing toilet seat and the bowl, providing a basic bidet function without the need for electrical connections. They're easy to install and operate via mechanical controls to adjust water pressure.

Smart toilets

At the high end of the market, smart toilets integrate bidet functions with advanced features such as automatic lids, night lights, self-cleaning technologies, and even health monitoring capabilities. They represent the ultimate in convenience and luxury for toilet solutions in New Zealand.

The advantages of high-quality bidets

High-quality bidets have many advantages and benefits which is why they’ve been so popular in many parts of the world and increasingly so in New Zealand. The main appeal is improved personal hygiene and cleanliness. The use of cold or warm water for cleaning is actually much more effective than the traditional use of toilet paper. Another advantage is that it is a more environmentally friendly toilet. This is because less water is used compared to a traditional toilet which can often use up to 6L of water per flush. The absence of toilet paper from the experience also gives it fantastic sustainability credentials. They are also much smaller than standard toilets too which frees up space in your bathroom, a real blessing particularly if you’re renovating or working with a small space.

How to choose a bidet

When choosing a bidet in New Zealand, it's important to consider several factors to ensure that it meets your needs and preferences. Start by evaluating the space available in your bathroom to determine whether a stand-alone bidet or a bidet seat that can be attached to your existing toilet is more suitable. Consider the features offered by different models, such as adjustable water temperature and pressure, nozzle positioning, and the inclusion of air drying and deodorising functions, to enhance comfort and convenience. Additionally, think about the ease of installation and whether you can do it yourself or need professional assistance. It's also wise to consider the energy efficiency of the unit, especially for electric bidet seats that offer additional features like heated seats. Finally, assess the design and materials to ensure they match your bathroom's aesthetics and offer durability.

Other toilet products you may need

If you're doing a full bathroom renovation, then there are a few other toilet products that you may need. A brand new toilet suite, for example, can make a huge difference in a bathroom space. If you haven't upgraded in a number of years, you'd be amazed by the new features that have been included. If you're working on a commercial bathroom, then you'll want to prioritise high-quality urinals which will save you time, money and space on a daily basis. Last but not least, don't forget to prioritise other toilet accessories like flush buttons and push plates. Whilst small, they can make a big difference to a bathroom in form and function and should never be underestimated.
