Install a toilet with an integrated bidet

The slightly different toilet

• Ultimately, a bidet is a luxury that very few can afford. In hardly any bathroom is there enough space to have a bidet installed in addition to the actual toilet.

Different models, including wall and floor models, ensure that the sanitary fixture is really suitable for all types of bathroom.
