Perfect material for a toilet seat
A toilet seat is an absolute essential in any bathroom or toilet. The material and shape will help to determine the level of comfort we experience. In this guide, we present the different materials in detail along with their advantages and drawbacks.
General requirements for any toilet seat
A toilet seat is generally a ring-shaped folding seat with a matching lid. Its main function is to enhance comfort by avoiding direct contact between the skin and the ceramic of the toilet. The toilet seat also allows people of different heights and builds to easily use the toilet.
Hygienic standards
As well as the comfort aspect, hygiene is another important requirement for a toilet seat. The surface needs to be as smooth as possible to provide the least favourable living environment for germs and allow easy cleaning. If you have very high hygiene requirements for your home or want to reduce cleaning time for your toilet, you should consider the attachment system as well as the material of the toilet seat. Modern systems with quick-release hinges, such as the QuickRelease technology, allow you to remove the seat in a single movement and replace it just as quickly. You can then clean the toilet and seat separately and reach even difficult to access areas behind the toilet.
