Everything Need to Know While Choosing a Toilet Seat

Our bathrooms are more than a place of ablution for us, and we spend an adequate amount of our lives there. One might not be aware of the time we usually spend on our toilet seats, but it is significant. Though toilets don't have extensive duties to perform, they open, flush, and close, but a suitable toilet seat can affect you in many ways. Given how significant a toilet seat can be in your everyday life, choosing the best toilet seat is essential. 

With multiple options available today in the market, it can be a little overwhelming and confusing to choose the best toilet seat for yourself. Here's a guide that will help you make an informed decision about your toilet seat. There are generally two types of toilet seats available in the market, and one can choose the one that suits them the best. Of course, this is easier said than done; it is crucial to understand the different types to get your hands on the ideal toilet seat for yourself. 

The two different types of toilet seats are the Elongated Toilet Seats and the Round Toilet Seats. As the names suggest, Elongated Toilet Seats are oval and are slightly longer than the round toilet seats; they are considered more comfortable and are somewhat more expensive than round seats. Whereas the Round Toilet Seats are the most commonly used, cheaper, and are round in shape. 

Factors to be considered when choosing a toilet seat: 

1. Comfort

You would never want to sit on an uncomfortable toilet seat. There are many factors that directly or indirectly affect the comfort of a toilet seat - shape and material used. The shape of your toilet seat matters the most. Generally, elongated toilet seats are considered more comfortable than round toilet seats. The material the toilet seat is made of also influences how comfortable it is to sit on. Some toilet seats are built with a user-friendly material, making them more comfortable.  

2. Cost

Apart from the comfort factor, another essential factor to consider is the cost. Depending on the budget, you can look out for various options to select the best sanitaryware items. The pricing starts as low as Rs. 3,500. 

On the other hand, most customers seek a straightforward, functional, and long-lasting seat while still being relatively comfortable. By spending a little extra on a toilet seat, you can get additional comfort, a longer lifespan, enhanced ease of use, or beautiful features. Narrowing down and knowing which of these elements are crucial to you, you'll be able to compare the benefits against the cost. 

3. Sound

This factor is generally overlooked, but it is essential to consider. The noise of the toilet seat slamming after use can get irritating and becomes a real problem when you live with children and light sleepers. If you'd prefer to avoid the noise, go for a toilet seat with close cover mechanism or cushioning to keep things quieter. A soft closed toilet seat will close slowly, eliminating the loud bang, and padding reduces noise when the lid closes.

4. Durability 

Buying a new toilet seat every second year can become a pain. Purchasing a toilet seat that is a little high on money but guarantees durability is always a better option. Essco offers a wide variety of sanitaryware options that are both durable and beautiful. Essco sanitaryware products come with a 10-year warranty.

5. Appearance 

The appearance of the toilet seat is another important factor to be considered when buying a toilet seat. A beautiful-looking toilet seat that complements the rest of the bathroom decor is an excellent choice.

6. Installation and Ease

Another factor to consider is the ease of installation. Make sure you take the proper measurements and understand what you'll need, so you can be sure it'll work with your toilet arrangements before buying a new toilet seat. 

Now that you've gone through the guide and are aware of all the factors you need to consider while making a choice, we are sure it won't be challenging to make a choice. Essco by Jaquar Group offers a wide variety of quality bathware and sanitaryware products at affordable prices.
