A toilet seat is a hinged unit that is attached to the top of a toilet bowl, providing a comfortable and hygienic surface for sitting. It consists of a seat and a lid, which can be lifted and closed as needed. Toilet seats come in various shapes, sizes, and materials to suit different toilet designs and personal preferences, the Leekes design team are on hand to talk you through the options available.
Standard toilet seats are the most common type, designed to fit most regular toilet bowls. They are typically made from plastic, wood, or composite materials and provide a basic yet functional seating surface. These seats are affordable, easy to install, and available in a variety of colours and finishes to match different bathroom styles.
Soft close toilet seats feature a special hinge mechanism that allows the seat and lid to close slowly and quietly, preventing loud slamming noises. This design helps to prolong the life of the seat by reducing impact damage and is especially useful in households with children. Soft-close seats also add a touch of luxury and convenience, making them a popular choice for modern bathrooms.
Wooden toilet seats add warmth and a classic, elegant touch to a bathroom. They are available in solid wood or MDF (medium-density fibreboard) with wood-effect finishes such as oak, walnut, or pine. While solid wood seats are durable and long-lasting, they require proper care to prevent water damage, making them best suited for bathrooms with good ventilation.
Plastic toilet seats are lightweight, durable, and easy to clean, making them one of the most popular choices for households. They are typically made from molded polypropylene or thermoset plastic, both of which resist stains and moisture. Available in various shapes, colours, and designs, plastic seats offer a practical and budget-friendly option for any bathroom.
