From Attachments to Smart Toilets: Your Guide to a Cleaner, More Comfortable Bathroom Experience.

The Comfort of Clean: Understanding Bidet Options for Your Toilet


When we talk about creating a truly luxurious and rejuvenating bathroom, the conversation often centers on stunning showers, elegant countertops, and beautiful cabinetry. But for a complete experience of comfort and hygiene, the toilet deserves equal consideration. The modern bidet has evolved from a niche luxury to a staple of a well-designed, clean, and comfortable bathroom.


For our clients in Longview, Texas, choosing to integrate a bidet into their remodel is an investment in personal well-being. It’s an option that perfectly aligns with our philosophy of future-proofing your home, and with some simple planning during the rough-in plumbing stage, it can be seamlessly integrated into your design.


Let’s explore the two primary bidet options available and their unique benefits.



Option 1: Bidet Seats and Attachments (The Seamless Upgrade)

This is a fantastic and often cost-effective way to introduce the benefits of a bidet into your existing bathroom or a remodel without replacing the entire toilet.

  • What they are: Bidet seats are designed to replace your existing toilet seat. They come equipped with all the necessary bidet functions, including water jets and, in some cases, air dryers and heated seats. Attachments are non-electric, simpler versions that mount underneath your current seat.
  • Key Benefits:
  • Simplicity: They are relatively easy to install and a straightforward way to add bidet functions.
  • Cost-Effective: Bidet seats offer a wide range of features at a more accessible price point than a full bidet toilet.
  • Hygiene: They still provide a superior level of personal hygiene compared to traditional methods.
  • Ekon Bath's Role: We can seamlessly integrate a bidet seat into your remodel. We ensure the necessary electrical outlet is discreetly placed behind the toilet and that the water connection is properly plumbed during the rough-in phase, so it never looks like an afterthought.


Option 2: Integrated Bidet Toilets (The Ultimate Luxury Experience)

For the homeowner seeking a truly sleek, minimalist, and technologically advanced solution, an integrated bidet toilet is the ultimate choice.

  • What they are: This is an all-in-one unit where the toilet and bidet functionality are combined into a single, cohesive piece of design.
  • Key Benefits:
  • Sleek Design: The seamless design eliminates the visual bulk of a bidet seat, creating a modern, minimalist look.
  • Advanced Features: Integrated units often come loaded with high-tech features, including:
  • Heated Seats and Warm Water: For ultimate comfort.
  • Built-in Deodorizers and Air Dryers: For a fresh, clean experience.
  • Motion-Activated Lids and Night Lights: For convenience and safety.
  • Remote Control: To customize settings effortlessly.
  • Future-Proofing: This is a long-term investment in comfort, hygiene, and independence, allowing you to age in place gracefully and with ease.
  • Ekon Bath's Role: During a full remodel, this is the ideal time to install an integrated bidet toilet. We meticulously plan for both the necessary plumbing connections (hot and cold water lines) and the dedicated electrical outlet, ensuring a flawless and professional installation that is a focal point of your luxurious bathroom.


The Lasting Benefits for Your Lifestyle: Why the Right Choice Matters Now!

The decision to integrate a bidet isn't just about a new feature; it's about making a profound choice for personal care and long-term well-being. For too long, the importance of this aspect of daily hygiene has been overlooked. By choosing a bidet, you're embracing a superior standard of cleanliness that can lead to:

  • Uncompromising Hygiene: A better, more thorough clean than toilet paper alone, reducing irritation and promoting overall health. This isn't just a comfort; it's a foundational step in your personal care routine.
  • Enhanced Comfort: The daily pleasure of a warm seat and soothing water, transforming a mundane necessity into a moment of personal care.
  • Sustainability: A significant reduction in toilet paper use, making a positive impact on both your budget and the environment.
  • Empowerment for the Future: For those looking to age in place, or for anyone seeking greater independence, a bidet offers an accessible and dignified solution, ensuring your bathroom continues to serve your evolving needs.



At Ekon Bath, we believe in providing all the options to create the perfect sanctuary in your Longview home. This isn't merely about aesthetics; it's about empowering you to make choices that genuinely enhance your daily life and elevate your standard of personal care. A simple conversation about your lifestyle and preferences is all it takes to start designing the bathroom of your dreams.

Can you turn a 1980s bathtub into a luxury Art Deco shower? Yes. By combining custom architectural arches, high-flow plumbing for 13 water outlets, and specialized "aging-in-place" safety features, you can transform a dated bathroom into a spa-like "rainforest" sanctuary that increases home value and personal comfort. The Vision: More Than Just a Bathroom When I first met Griff Hubbard through the Rotary Club of Longview, I knew his project would be special. Griff is a man of history, particularly railroad history, and his home reflects that soul. He didn't just want a new shower; he wanted the "crowning achievement" of his home—a space that felt like an Art Deco rainforest. To truly understand Griff’s vision, I did something most contractors don't: I listened to his railroad history podcasts. This allowed us to build a design that wasn't just functional, but deeply personal. Engineering the "Rainforest" Experience The centerpiece of this transformation is the "Rainforest" shower system. To achieve this level of luxury, we had to overcome significant technical hurdles: 13 Water Outlets: We installed a massive array of body sprayers and the largest rain head Ekon Bath has ever commissioned. High-Volume Plumbing: Most older homes aren't built for this much water. We coordinated with specialists to ensure the water pressure and hot water capacity could handle the "rainforest" flow. Custom Art Deco Hardware: When standard handles didn't fit the 1920s aesthetic, we sourced custom hardware and even had a machine shop create a bespoke Art Deco drain cover. Design Details: Where History Meets Luxury Griff’s bathroom is a masterclass in Art Deco design . We replaced the standard square shower entry with a striking architectural archway . This creates a sense of "arriving" at a destination rather than just stepping into a shower. We also prioritized "Aging in Space" —a core value at Ekon Bath. While the shower looks like a high-end spa, it secretly includes reinforced support behind the walls for future safety features, ensuring Griff can enjoy this sanctuary for the next 40 years. The Ekon "Red Carpet" Experience At Ekon Bath, we believe the process should be as beautiful as the result. For Griff, that meant: Daily Cleanliness: We vacuumed and dusted every single afternoon so Griff could live comfortably during the renovation. Above and Beyond: To finish the job, we didn't just clean the bathroom; we power-washed his back patio to leave his entire home better than we found it.
