Wooden Toilet Seat Review

Wooden toilet seats are made from either solid wood, or a composite with a wood veneer finish, usually available in many shades, from a very light pine color to a very dark oak finish. Wooden toilet seats have been around since the inception of the vitreous china water closet, but were around long before that, usually as a piece of wood, with a hole in, placed over a latrine pit, and this if you were fortunate to have a latrine pit first.

Preferably a smaller bathroom or water closet can be decorated in a lighter wood shade, giving an impression of light and space in a confined area, and matching pine color wooden toilet seats can be found to enhance this. If a larger bathroom and a darker color wood décor, then a matching or similar shade of dark oak or teak can be used. Brass hinges give the wooden toilet seat a touch of class that can’t be matched by any other combination. If you end up choosing a lighter wood finish, brushed nickel hinges and handles would look great as well.

Wooden toilet seats are available in round, oval or elongated to fit most sizes and shapes of toilet bowl. As well as being available in a wide range of styles, shapes and colors, many now are available with what is known as a soft close toilet seat and lid. A mechanism in the hinge stops the seat and/or lid fro dropping closed with an almighty bang that would waken even the soundest sleeper.

A solid modern wooden toilet seat, unlike those of yesteryear are usually guaranteed to not split or crack, but obviously, if you leave them soaking in a bath of water for a few weeks, then maybe that guarantee would not stand up. Always read the small print.

When buying wooden toilet seats, try to check out the type of varnish or finish on them, the manufacturer’s notes should be able to tell you. Old wooden toilet seats were a cause of what was known as toilet seat dermatitis, so if you have sensitive skin, beware. Also, beware of what you clean any toilet seat with, as you could end up with itchy butt syndrome.

Wooden toilet seats are not to everyone’s taste, neither will it necessarily match the chosen décor, but that will not stop the rise of sales rising. However, stockists of bathroom furniture and toilets parts are seeing an upsurge in sales of wooden toilet seats  just as large online retailers have begun stocking up on them in massive quantities.
