A toilet seat is an essential bathroom accessory. Choosing or replacing a toilet seat is not necessarily a difficult operation, but selecting the proper type of seat needs some insight.
Material Types
The type of materials commonly used to make toilet seats are varieties of woods or plastics. Other materials such as brass may be found in higher-end toilet seats. Plastic is a popular choice due to its durability and low cost. Dark wood, walnut and beech are some of the exclusive finishes used on wooden toilet seats.
