Bidets | Bidet mixers | Bidet tapware

The bidet appears to have been an invention of the French and the earliest written reference to the bidet was in 1710. Bidets are common bathroom fixtures in many European and Latin American countries and most homes in the Middle East are equipped with bidets. In Australia bidets are sought after by homeowners who have immigrated from countries where bidets are in daily use or who have used bidets while visiting there.

Today's bidet is a sit-down wash basin and similarly made from vitreous china. The bidet is styled to complement the shape of the toilet as the bidet is usually placed next to the toilet in the bathroom. The hot and cold water inlets for the bidet mixer and the outlet drain can be from the wall or through the floor.

The recently released Perrin & Rowe bidet has been designed as part of the Perrin & Rowe Edwardian suite which also includes a pedestal handbasin, powder room basin and toilet.

The Perrin & Rowe bidet is available with one or three holes in the rim to accommodate the four styles of Perrin & Rowe bidet mixers: the monobloc bidet mixer with lever handles, the monobloc bidet mixer with crosshead handles, the three hole bidet mixer with lever handles and the three hole bidet mixer with crosshead handles.

The Perrin & Rowe bidet mixer is supplied with a pop-up waste which is operated by lifting the knob on top of the bidet mixer spout.

The Perrin & Rowe bidet mixers are available now. The Perrin & Rowe bidet is expected be in stock from April 2009.
