If you are in the process of restoring your home’s bathroom, or if you need to design one from scratch, there is some very important information that you should be aware of. One of these is the minimum distance between sanitary workers. We have already seen what the distance between the wc and the basin must be, now we find out more about the minimum distance between the wc and the bidet.

What is the minimum distance to be respected between the wc and the bidet?

Maintaining the necessary distances between the various bathroom accessories and respecting the rules in the arrangement of the elements (from the sanitary ware to the furniture, from the accessories to the various components) is very important. In fact, all this is essential for the environment to obtain an harmonious and orderly appearance, as well as to guarantee practicality, functionality, comfort and convenience.

The wc and bidet are usually positioned next to each other and the minimum distance to be respected between the two is at least 20 cm. In the event that they are instead facing each other, the minimum space to be left between edge and edge is about 50/60 cm.
