How to choose a toilet cover?
We have already mentioned the importance of wet areas such as the bathroom and kitchen in our homes. This article will help you choose the best cover for the toilet, the main component in your bathroom, which is the key to quality living and comfort for the household.
Toilets are perhaps the most crucial fixed installation components for a cozy and comfortable home. While the comfort and coziness of a toilet can be easily asserted by users, most of us are still not sufficiently knowledgeable on how to choose a toilet cover and require the assistance of a DIY store worker despite desperately needing one. Indeed, it is quite easy to choose the right toilet cover by keeping in mind a number of key criteria.
What to keep in mind when choosing a toilet cover?
As with all furniture and design decisions at home, the one thing to keep in mind when choosing a toilet cover is whether it corresponds to our needs. While they may seem similar, there are actually many sizes of toilet covers. The best toilet cover would be the one that appeals to the liking of the household as well as their physical appearance, and that harmonizes with your current bathroom design. As there is no one right answer to toilet covers, a good idea is to choose the one that best addresses our needs.
Are toilet covers all the same?
While people often believe toilet covers to be identical and that it would not be too difficult to simply head over to a DIY store and purchase one, there are actually various sizes and you need to know the measurements of your toilet to purchase a cover.
Other brands offer smaller sizes of toilet covers for narrower bathrooms as well as larger covers for larger toilets. So, the short answer is no; toilet covers are not all the same, and you need to know the toilet cover measurements to purchase a well-fitting cover.
What are the types of toilet covers?
Design trends in the bathroom industry have been blossoming with advancing technology, and toilet covers are no exception. There are now more designs corresponding to changing trends and more options to choose from.
Toilet covers are designed to suit the shape of the toilet. In addition to the traditional circular toilets, there are also the recently popularized modern square toilets. The first thing to notice when choosing a toilet cover, therefore, is whether the shape of the cover suits the shape of the seat.
Next up following the shape are the toilet cover systems. The usual toilet covers most often preferred by households fall down fast and hard. Repeatedly falling down hard may damage the toilet seat over time. The recently trending soft-close toilet covers eliminate any such risk. Soft close covers drop down very slowly when closing.
There are also various sizes of toilet covers for specially manufactured toilet seats in addition to the standard measures. Covers to be used in accessible toilets, children's toilets, or any other toilet seat that does not correspond to standardized measurements are considered special measurements.
How to measure the toilet cover?
If you think you will need a ruler or a measuring tape to measure the toilet cover, you could not be further from the truth. There is a much easier way to measure your toilet cover. While everyone has their own way to measure toilet covers, there are actually only two items you need for accurate measurement: a piece of cardboard/paper and a pencil.
Use a larger piece of cardboard or paper and place it below the toilet cover. Then trace the toilet cover from both the interior and exterior sides to draw out the measurement. Now that you have a sample drawing of your toilet cover, you can head over to the hardware store and the assistants at the shop will help you choose from the suitable toilet covers.
What is the price range of toilet covers?
Another frequent question is the average price of toilet covers. It is not possible to provide an accurate guess on toilet cover prices as they highly depend on what you need, which brand you choose, the color, model, and closing style.
