Slow-Closure Toilet Seats

Comfortable, quiet and practical: With the slow-close damping function from Duravit, a gentle touch is all it takes for the automatic lowering mechanism to close the toilet seat and lid gently and silently. Slow-closure toilet seats are especially nice to have in households with children, who are more likely to forget to close the toilet lid carefully, as they prevent the lid from slamming down onto the toilet seat when you let go of it. The gentle closing mechanism also serves to protect the material. Toilet lids with an additionally integrated quick-release function can easily be removed at the push of a button - or with just a simple touch without a mechanism - and just as easily reattached. This makes thorough cleaning in those hard-to-reach places much easier and guarantees maximum hygiene.

Slow-closure toilet seats are items that get used every day so they should be made of durable, high-quality materials to ensure a long service life. At Duravit, we value not only high quality, but also functionality, sustainability and state-of-the-art technologies. The visually appealing design rounds out the Duravit slow-closure toilet seat.

Looking from the outside, it's almost impossible to distinguish between a conventional toilet seat and a slow-closing toilet seat. A light touch on the edge of the lid or the slow-closure toilet seat is usually all that is needed for it to close automatically and at a much reduced speed. To start the process, you have to keep it at an angle of about 70 degrees. Then a light tap is all that is needed to get the lid or the seat to start closing. The built-in dampers in the lid and the seat take care of the rest from there. The dampers reduce the speed of the lid and toilet seat so they lower gently and quietly onto the toilet. In short: Our practical slow-closing toilet seats promise silent and pleasant closing comfort - it's practically magic!

So you can be sure that your new slow-closure toilet seat will fit perfectly into your bathroom, there are a few points to consider when making your decision. The most important thing is that the size and shape of the toilet seat, including the separate toilet lid, line up with the contact surface of the ceramic itself. The dimensions of the toilet seat and the toilet itself need to be perfectly aligned so the toilet seat isn't relatively under- or oversized, which will eventually cause it to slip. That's why it is important to make sure of the toilet shape and size that your decision is based on in advance. In general, there are three common shapes: the classic round shape (O-shape), the modern D-shape and the stylish square shape. You should also find out the dimensions of the ceramic - or measure it yourself to be on the safe side. The distance between the mounting holes, the maximum width, and the length from the mounting holes to the end are critical measurements for getting the right fit.

Tip: Our toilet seat finder can make your search easier; it identifies suitable Duravit toilet seats that are compatible with your toilet. This saves you the tediousness of taking measurements.

In terms of appearance and functions of toilet seats with and without slow-close function, there are no limits at Duravit. We offer the perfect matching toilet seat for each of our toilets.

It doesn't matter what you're looking for in terms of the look and functionality of a toilet seat, with us you are sure to find the right toilet seat and perfectly matching ceramics to suit your individual needs.

The installation of a slow-closure toilet lid is extremely easy and is no different from a toilet seat without a slow-close mechanism. After the old seat has been removed, it is advisable to thoroughly clean the ceramic portion of the toilet before installing the new toilet seat for the sake of good hygiene. You can then easily assemble the toilet seat in just a few simple steps with the help of the included assembly instructions. Then you are ready to install it using the fastening material supplied.

Tip: To protect the ceramic, check whether there is a rubber ring between the ceramic and the hinge plate.

A slow-closure toilet seat has a lot of advantages. Once you get used to this level of convenience, it's hard to do without this function that you've come to appreciate so much. Duravit products will help you make a bold visual statement and give every bathroom that special touch it deserves.
