We introduced our new range of bidet sprays/shattafs last year, and they have been very successful. However, we are hearing back from some of our customers that they are not able/allowed to plumb in a bidet spray in their bathroom.
So we have launched a new product - a battery operated bidet spray that can sit alongside the toilet in your bathroom. The unit looks very discreet - you can fill it with water at room temperature, and the shattaf spray is powered by battery. This unit is perfect for homes and small business premises.
Please Contact Us if you would like some more information about this product, or any of our other Bidet Sprays or Shattafs.

Our journey began over 17 years ago when we saw firsthand the challenges Muslims faced in public spaces during ablution - notably the practice of washing their feet in sinks, which was not only impractical but also unhygienic and undignified. This realisation inspired our mission to create purpose-built solutions that honour both the need for practicality and the dignity of the individual.
Since then, we have pioneered the development of modern ablution solutions, offering the largest range of high-quality products globally, all designed to meet the highest standards of safety and hygiene, with many certified to CSA standards. Our commitment to excellence has allowed us to continuously evolve, ensuring that our products are not only functional but also sustainable and innovative.
At WuduMate, we believe that the spaces where Muslims pray and perform ablution should reflect both respect for tradition and the modern world. Through years of cross-cultural collaboration, our solutions have bridged gaps and offered a unique perspective on inclusive design. This dedication to understanding the needs of diverse communities has allowed us to create products that integrate seamlessly into modern workplaces, universities, airports, mosques, and more.
In addition to our comprehensive range of ablution solutions, we are proud to offer expert consultancy services. Our team works closely with businesses and organisations to design spaces that are both inclusive and respectful of the diverse faiths represented. One of our most respected tools is our renowned Diversity Matters guide, which offers best practices for creating Multi-Faith Rooms that accommodate the needs of all faiths. This guide has proven to be invaluable for numerous clients, helping them create spaces that foster inclusivity and respect.
As we continue to innovate, our mission remains steadfast: to provide practical, stylish, and safe ablution solutions for modern Muslims worldwide, ensuring that the spaces they work and pray in are both accessible and respectful of their faith. We are honoured to serve as the original leader in the field and excited for the continued growth of our community.
We have updated our renowned booklet - Diversity Matters - Guide to Best Practice Multi-Faith Room Design for 2025.

Creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace for everyone is more important than ever. As our teams become more diverse, understanding and accommodating various religious and spiritual practices can make a big difference.
The theme for National Inclusion Week 2024 is ‘Impact Matters’, a call-to-action to everyone in your organisation, from leaders, to inclusion professionals through to teams and individuals.‘Impact Matters’ centres around understanding, identifying and measuring impact on marginalised groups and taking actions that make for genuine, sustainable change that matters.
One of the changes you may be considering right now, is including a multi-faith space in your workplace. This article looks at multi-faith rooms and the benefits that could be enjoyed by everyone, from setting one up in your workplace.
Even if your workplace doesn’t currently have a multi-faith space, now is the perfect time to consider creating one. A multi-faith space is a quiet, neutral area designed to accommodate various practices, whether for prayer, meditation, or simply a peaceful place to take a break. These spaces offer benefits for the whole company, providing a supportive environment for religious and non-religious employees alike.
One practice that might be new to some is wudu—a ritual purification that Muslims perform before prayer.If you’re looking to make your workplace more inclusive, incorporating wudu facilities into your multi-faith spaces is a thoughtful step toward ensuring everyone feels respected. Let’s explore how you can do this in a way that’s supportive and inclusive for all.
Wudu is a ritual cleansing that Muslims perform before praying. It involves washing specific parts of the body—hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, head, and feet—to ensure physical and spiritual purity before engaging in prayer. This ritual is a key part of daily worship and helps Muslims feel connected to their faith.
If you have Muslim employees or visitors, who wish to pray during working hours, they will perform wudu first, using the public bathroom if there is no alternative. Providing a dedicated wudu facility near the prayer area will make this practice easier and more efficient for them, and with less inconvenience to other bathroom users.
1. Start with Conversations: Begin by engaging with your team members. Ask about their needs and preferences, not just for wudu, but to establish other potential uses of the space as well. Understanding what your people require will help you design a space that truly supports and benefits everyone.
2. Plan the Design: Once you’ve gathered insights, consider how to incorporate wudu facilities. A designated private area with a water source, drainage, and hand and/or foot dryers can make a significant difference.
3. Ensure Accessibility: Make sure the wudu facilities and the entire multi-faith space are accessible to everyone, including employees with disabilities or mobility issues. The goal is to create a space that is welcoming, functional, and respectful of all needs.
4. Promote Awareness: Educate your team about the purpose of the multi-faith space, and the specific needs or preferences that some users will have, for example, that shoes should not be worn in the prayer area. Highlight that the room may be used by everyone, whether for religious practices, meditation, or simply a moment of quiet. Clear signage and communication can help foster understanding and respect.
5. Focus on Respect and Privacy: The multi-faith space should provide privacy and be used in a way that respects everyone’s needs. Maintaining this balance ensures the space remains supportive and inclusive for all employees.
Creating a multi-faith space with wudu facilities is about more than accommodating specific religious needs—it’s about fostering a culture of inclusion that benefits everyone. These spaces can enhance employee morale, promote mental well-being, and encourage a more positive, understanding workplace. Whether employees use the space for prayer, meditation, or simply to take a moment away from work, it offers a tangible way to show that your company values inclusivity.

Have you considered how your workplace accommodates the diverse needs of all employees? As workplaces become more diverse, creating spaces that support various religious and spritual practices is increasingly important. Multi-faith spaces are essential for fostering a respectful and inclusive environment. With National Inclusion Week approaching, let’s explore why these spaces are crucial and how you can create one in your workplace.
Multi-faith spaces are more than just an addition to your office - they are crucial for demonstrating respect and support for all employees. These areas allow individuals to practice their faith, meditate, or take time out, enhancing workplace harmony and fulfilling legal requirements in many cases. Such spaces help create a sense of belonging and make employees feel valued and respected for who they are.
Have you ever felt like you needed to take a brief time out in your working day? Imagine having a dedicated area where everyone could take a brief pause for reflection, if they needed it, or for prayer, if that is their chosen practice. That’s what a well-designed multi-faith space offers. It’s not just about meeting religious needs, but also about boosting morale and job satisfaction. When employees see that their workplace supports their personal practices, it fosters a positive atmosphere and enhances engagement and commitment.
Setting up a multi-faith space might seem daunting, but it’s easier than you think. Here are some practical tips to get started:
1. Choose the Right Spot: Pick a location that’s easy to access and provides a sense of privacy. It should be large enough to accommodate different needs comfortably.
2. Equip the Space Thoughtfully: Depending on your team’s needs, include items like prayer mats, ablution facilities like the WuduMate Classic or WuduMate Compact, and storage for religious texts or artifacts. It is good practice to insist that shoes are removed in the prayer area - some faiths require this, and it shouldn't inconvenience others, so provide a place for shoe storage. Make sure the space is adaptable to the practices of the employees in your organisation.
3. Ensure Privacy and Respect: The space should be private and respected by all. Clear signage and guidelines can help everyone understand its purpose and use it appropriately.
4. Listen to Your Team: Get feedback from your employees about what they need and want in the space. This ensures the room is truly supportive of all practices.

At WuduMate, we’re here to support you with high-quality wudu ablution facilities for your multi-faith room. Contact us to learn how we can help make your workplace more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.
Designing a wudu facility might seem straightforward, but there's more to it than meets the eye! This guide will walk you through crucial design considerations to create a functional, comfortable, and welcoming wudu space, and show how WuduMate products can help you achieve these goals.
Size and Layout: The first step in designing a wudu facility is assessing the available space, and estimating how many users you are likely to have. A well-thought-out layout ensures that users have enough room to perform wudu comfortably. With WuduMate’s range of units, you can find a solution to maximise space efficiency without compromising on functionality. Our products are designed to fit seamlessly into various spatial constraints, making sure every inch is utilised effectively.
Flow and Accessibility: An accessible layout is key to a smooth wudu process. Design pathways wide enough for wheelchair users and ensure ample space around each station. WuduMate’s thoughtful design includes features like easy-access taps and spacious, well-placed stations that facilitate smooth movement and accessibility for all users, promoting an inclusive environment.
Understanding the needs of your user base is essential. WuduMate offers wudu sinks which are suitable for everyone, from children to the elderly and those with disabilities. If you have both male and female users, it is preferable to provide two separate enclosed wudu areas if possible, so that female users may feel comfortable removing their hijab while performing wudu. If this is not possible with the space that you have, then the wudu area should be in a separate enclosed area with a sign to indicate when it is being used.
Another consideration is the journey of the users from the wudu area to the prayer room. The shoe storage area needs to be well positioned. so that people are not walking with shoes in the wudu area or between the wudu and the prayer area.
Design Harmony: A wudu area should complement the existing decor of the facility. WuduMate offers a range of styles that integrate seamlessly with various interior designs. Whether you’re aiming for a modern look or a more traditional feel, our products can be tailored to match your aesthetic preferences.
Frequency of Use: High-traffic areas require robust and durable solutions. WuduMate units are crafted from high-quality materials that withstand frequent use while maintaining their appearance and functionality. Our durable designs ensure that your wudu facility remains in top condition even with high usage.
Cultural Sensitivity: Designing with cultural practices in mind is crucial. WuduMate’s products are designed to respect and accommodate traditional requirements while incorporating contemporary features. Our units are thoughtfully designed to blend cultural considerations with modern functionality.
Easy Cleaning: Maintaining hygiene is vital in any wudu facility. WuduMate’s products are made from easy-to-clean materials that simplify upkeep. Our splash-free taps and smooth surfaces help reduce mess and make cleaning routines more manageable, ensuring a hygienic environment for all users.
Resource Efficiency: WuduMate is committed to enhancing resource efficiency through thoughtful design and durable construction. Our products are built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements and contributing to long-term sustainability.
Water Conservation: Incorporating water-saving features is crucial for effective resource management. WuduMate’s touchless taps and low-flow fixtures are designed to minimise water usage while maintaining excellent performance. These innovations help you manage resources responsibly and reduce utility costs, supporting an environmentally conscious approach.
Designing a wudu facility is a balancing act of functionality, comfort, and aesthetics. By considering space, user needs, maintenance, and sustainability, you can create a wudu area and prayer room that is both efficient and welcoming. WuduMate is here to support you throughout the design process, offering products that not only meet these needs but enhance the overall experience.

This university in the UK completed an upgrade of their ablution area using WuduMate Modular units to create separate ablution areas for men and women.
They also chose to install a Turkish toilet close to this area, which is a toilet with an integral bidet function. People from many cultures prefer to use a bidet after using the toilet, and this new appliance will allow them to perform their preferred hygiene rituals with comfort and dignity.
