How to choose the right size toilet seat
If you have a broken toilet seat, or you are doing repairs in the bathroom, or just want to change the old toilet seat, but do not know how to choose a new one yourself?! Now I'll tell you how to do it.
Let's figure out what you need to pay attention to when choosing a toilet seat:
- convenience — the seat should be comfortable.
- safety — the edges should be smooth, without cracks and chips.
- hygiene — hygiene is affected by the material from which the seat is made*.
- durability — the material from which the seat is made must be durable, and the fasteners must also be of high quality.
- aesthetics — design and color should harmoniously fit into your bathroom.
- material — the material from which the seat and fasteners are made affects the service life, reliability, as well as comfort.
- shape and size — the seat should repeat the shape of the toilet bowl, and protrude 0.5-1cm.
*For example, in the production of duroplast seats, silver ions are often added, due to this, the seats have an antibacterial coating.In order not to make a mistake in choosing a seat, you need to measure the bowl of the toilet bowl.
To do this, first you need to remove the old toilet seat.
After that, you can start measuring the bowl of the toilet bowl. Take a piece of paper and write down three sizes:the distance between the centers of the mounting holes
- distance from the center of the mounting hole to the edge of the toilet bowl
- the width of the toilet bowl from the left to the right edge
- It is necessary to take into account the factor that the toilet seat should not be exactly the same size as the upper part of the toilet bowl – it is necessary that it protrudes beyond the edges by half a centimeter or a little more.
Having figured out how to choose a toilet seat in size, now you need to take into account the material from which the seat is made, color, functionality and quality. After all, the service life of the seat depends on most of these factors.
