Toilet seat and lid
In this article we will talk about toilet covers and seats. Or rather, about the material from which they are made. Types of seats, fasteners, forms of toilet seats.
Let's figure out what materials the covers are made of:
- Thermoplastics – or in other words plastic, polyvinyl chloride.
Simple and durable material. The color of such covers is always white. They are durable and have an inexpensive cost. All kinds of seat shapes are made of this material. The disadvantages include susceptibility to scratches and instability to ultraviolet light and aggressive household chemicals.
- Duroplast is somewhat similar to ceramics and looks very advantageous, high–quality and expensive.
Such a seat is very hygienic, since silver ions are added during the production process. Such seats are the best option for installation, both for personal and public use. One of the disadvantages is the cost of the material.
Plastic foam rubber – such a seat is quite soft, though cold. It is not expensive, but one of the disadvantages is short-lived, since foam rubber breaks quickly. If cats or dogs live in the house, such a seat will not fit at all.
Wood is a durable, natural, stylish material. The lids are quite massive and heavy and when falling on the toilet bowl can damage it. Such covers are not popular and they are often installed under the theme of the interior. By the way, if such a seat is varnished, it can cause dermatitis.
What are the fasteners:According to the type of installation, they can be: through (they are twisted under the bowl of the toilet bowl and are suitable only for floor toilets) and upper (suitable for all types of toilet bowls and are twisted from above).
- According to the material from which fasteners are made, there are: fully plastic fasteners, fully metal fasteners and combined plastic and metal.
- According to the shape of the product there are: oval, square (with soft or sharp corners), rectangular.
