Benefits of Enameled Wood Toilet Seats and Plastic Toilet Seats
Deciding between an enameled wood and a plastic toilet seat doesn’t need to be difficult! Let’s take a look at how the materials perform and the strengths each brings, both as a product and as part of your décor.
To begin, each material offers a durable finish that resists wear, chips and stains, and is easy to clean.
Enameled Wood Toilet Seats
Have a superior strength and substantial feel, with a high-gloss finish. They’re often described as feeling heavier and “warmer” to the touch.
They offer design options including:
- Sculptured models with subtle cover patterns that complement your design theme
- Metal hinges that upgrade the feel of your décor
- Plastic hinges that let you easily remove the seat for cleaning
Resilient Plastic Toilet Seats
Feature high-gloss, molded-in color. Although lighter in weight than enameled wood toilet seats, plastic toilet seats are durable, strong and long-lasting.
They offer design options including:
- A range of colors that harmonize with and complement any décor
- Plastic hinges that let you easily remove the seat for cleaning
Many of our innovative features are found on both enameled wood and plastic, including:
- STAY-TITE® Seat Fastening System™ - Sit securely! Your toilet seat will never loosen.
- Super Grip™ - Bumpers grip the bowl to prevent seat shifting.
- Precision Fit® - Adjust the toilet seat during installation for the perfect fit.
- Easy•Clean™hinges – Quickly and easily remove the toilet seat for cleaning.
- Whisper•Close®- Our slow-close seats eliminate slamming and won’t pinch fingers.
Both our enameled wood and plastic seats should be cleaned using mild hand, antibacterial, or dish soap only, to help maintain a glossy finish. Learn more about caring for your seat here.
In the end, it comes down to personal preference. If you prefer a toilet seat that offers design options with a more substantial feel, with a variety of hinge options, choose a beautiful enameled wood seat.
If you’re looking for color selections while still having a toilet seat that provides durability, choose a plastic seat.
Can’t make up your mind? Go with both options! At attractive price points with a variety of design choices, it’s easy to switch your seat to complement a change in décor, seasons, or needs.
