Longevity
Our range also includes toilet seats with stainless steel and plastic hinges. Stainless steel hinges are a durable option as they do not rust and have low wear due to the robust material. They are a little more expensive, while the lighter plastic hinges are cheaper. These tend to need replacing more quickly, but they still meet our high quality standards.
High quality
The combined Duravit toilet lid and toilet seat with slow-close function are made of thermoset or thermoplastic, depending on the model. Thermoplastic is a durable and easy-care plastic. Toilet seats made of this material are relatively inexpensive and recyclable. Toilet seats made of thermoset are particularly robust and therefore very durable. The easy-care material is dust, water and dirt repellent, as well as scratch-resistant.
Quick release
Another practical feature: many Duravit toilet seats can be removed with a single hand movement, without the use of any tools. Toilet lids with a quick-release function allow for quick and easy cleaning of the toilet and toilet seat. This function is not limited to toilet seats with a slow-close function.
How does a toilet seat with a slow-close function work?
From the outside, it is almost impossible to distinguish a conventional toilet seat from one with a slow-close function. Usually, a light pressure on the edge of the lid or toilet seat with a slow-close function is enough to close it automatically and at a controlled speed. To do this, the required opening angle of about 70 degrees should be maintained. The integrated dampers on the lid and seat take care of the rest. They slow down the downward movement, causing the lid and toilet seat to close gently and quietly on the toilet.
Easy assembly
Installing a toilet seat with a slow-close function is very easy and is no different from installing a toilet seat without a slow-close function. After removing the old seat, it is advisable to clean the toilet bowl thoroughly before installing the new toilet seat. Then you can easily mount the toilet seat with a few simple steps using the enclosed assembly instructions. It can then be fixed in place using the supplied mounting material.
Tip: To protect your ceramic, check that there is a rubber ring between the ceramic and the hinge plate.
Advantages of toilet seats with slow-close function
1. Silent and gentle
The damping system, which is individually adapted for each toilet seat, closes the toilet seat with slow-close function silently and at a comfortable speed. This contributes to a sense of well-being and ultimately to a better quality of life.
2. Decoupled slow-close function
Because each side of the toilet seat is equipped with its own damper, it is possible to close the lid and the seat ring independently of each other.
3. No sleepless nights
A moment's inattention is usually enough to cause the lid to crash down on your glasses with a loud crack. Toilet seats with a slow-close function can prevent disturbing others with the noise, especially at night.
4. Minimal material wear
The gentle closing technology of the toilet seats with slow-close function protects the material of the seat and toilet. In addition, damage to the toilet ceramics is avoided.
5. Comfortable
The simple locking mechanism of the toilet seats with slow-close function is particularly convenient for older people or those with health issues that affect their mobility.
Tip: For even more user-friendliness, comfort and quality of life, shower toilets are the ideal solution for your bathroom.
6. Beautiful appearance
Toilet seats with a slow-close function look just like conventional toilet seats without a slow-close function. The dampers have no effect on the construction and therefore do not restrict the design. On the contrary: they are available in a range of designs and price categories. Duravit also offers a wide selection of different toilet seats with slow-close function, always matching the shape and design of the respective toilet.
7. No risk of injury
Children love to play and explore their environment. A hand can quickly get caught between the lid and the seat, and be crushed. A toilet with a slow-close function is child-friendly and helps prevent injuries.
8. Easy to clean
The smooth, antibacterial finish makes cleaning the toilet easy. In addition, many of our Duravit toilet seats with slow-close function are available in a removable version. This makes it easy to clean even the most difficult to reach areas.
Which toilet seat with slow-close function is suitable for which type of ceramic?
The dimensions of the toilet seat and the toilet must be perfectly matched to each other, so that the toilet seat does not protrude or too far inwards or can slip. Therefore, you should make sure in advance which toilet form is based on your selection. Generally speaking, there are three common shapes: the classic oval (O-shape), the modern D-shape and the stylish rectangular shape. You should also find out the dimensions of the ceramic or measure them yourself to be on the safe side. The distance between the mounting holes, the maximum width and the length from the mounting holes are crucial for a suitable seat.
