Not all toilet seats are the same. If you want to buy a new one, you will come across two material designations that are often used side by side without explanation: Duroplast and Thermoplast. The difference is not just academic, it is noticeable in everyday life in terms of appearance, feel, cleaning and durability. This article will help you decide. <\/p>\n\n
Duroplast is a hardened synthetic resin that can no longer be melted after processing. This property makes it dimensionally stable, scratch-resistant and resistant to cleaning agents. WC seats made of thermoset feel cooler than thermoplastic because the material retains heat less well. This is often described as the “cold feel” of non-heated thermoset seats. <\/p>\n\n
The advantage lies in its robustness: Duroplast does not deform, even when subjected to stress, is less likely to chafe and retains its shape for many years. This is a real quality feature for heavily frequented bathrooms, commercial properties or households with children. You can find an overview of the toilet seat range on the product pages for toilet seats at S.I.T. Sanit\u00e4rtechnik<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n Thermoplastic is a malleable plastic that can be processed using heat. Thermoplastic toilet seats are lighter than thermoset seats, feel warmer on contact and are cheaper to produce. This is a practical choice for simple requirements and guest bathrooms that are rarely used. <\/p>\n\n The disadvantage becomes apparent with continuous use: thermoplastic can easily deform over time under mechanical pressure, especially at higher temperatures in the bathroom. Scratch resistance is also lower, which can lead to matting of the surface during intensive cleaning with abrasive cleaners. <\/p>\n Get more information now.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n Duroplast is recommended for family bathrooms, apartment buildings and heavily frequented bathrooms due to its dimensional stability and durability. Thermoplast is a sensible alternative for guest bathrooms that are rarely used and for budget purchases. Those who value appearance and quality generally opt for Duroplast, as the surface has a higher quality appearance and remains attractive for longer. <\/p>\n\n Both materials can be cleaned with commercially available toilet cleaners. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided more with Thermoplast than with Duroplast. If you use mild cleaners, you are on the safe side with both materials. Duroplast is generally better suited to disinfection in care environments because the dense surface does not encourage microcracks. <\/p>\n\n The choice of material for a toilet seat is not just a matter of taste, but a question of the intensity of use and the requirements of everyday life. Duroplast impresses with its stability and durability. Thermoplastic is lighter and less expensive, but is more suitable for less intensive use. S.I.T. Sanit\u00e4rtechnik offers toilet seats in both materials.
