How to assemble the toilet seat

The toilet seat is an integral part of the toilet.
It is often sold together with its toilet but it also happens that you have to buy it separately.
So what should we do in this case? Is it really necessary to know the exact measurements of each part in order to identify the correct one?
We'll let you in on a secret: NO, IT'S NOT NECESSARY.

How to choose the toilet seat

Each toilet model is produced with one or more types of matching toilet seats.
Toilet seats differ in shape and type of closure.

The main shapes available are SLIM and WRAPPING.
- slim toilet seat: it has a very thin thickness and this is where its name comes from
- wrap-around toilet seat: the peculiar feature is that the edge of the lid wraps around the lid and seat and comes to rest on the edge of the toilet

As regards the types of closing of toilet seats, there are two: with normal closing or with slow closing.
Almost all the most recently produced toilet seats have quick release fixings that allow you to easily detach the toilet seat from the sanitary fixture to facilitate cleaning of the ceramic and of the toilet seat itself.

So what is the correct way to identify the toilet seat?

Simple: you just need to know the make and model of the toilet.
Each toilet seat is in fact produced for its specific toilet. Once the toilet has been identified, the toilet seat descends accordingly.

It is therefore not necessary to take measurements or anything unless it is an extremely old model. Sanitaryware manufacturers undertake to make spare parts available for their sanitaryware but it may happen that for extremely old series the toilet seats are no longer produced.
Only in this case is it worth taking the measurements of the toilet seat to understand if there is a compatible model or if companies specializing in the production of toilet seats make a model suitable for the toilet in question.

Yes, because there are companies that only produce toilet seats that are made equal and identical to the original ones and whose only difference is that they are not branded.

How do you install a toilet seat?

Inside the package you will find the instruction booklet for assembling the toilet seat. However, this is a very easy practice which however requires correctly fixing the toilet seat to the sanitary fixture and installing the hinges correctly.
Pay particular attention to the hinges of slow toilet seats: they must be installed and adjusted correctly otherwise the correct closing of the toilet seat will be compromised.
