Finding the perfect toilet seat for your needs.

When it comes to replacing a toilet seat on an older toilet, you may have some difficulties finding the perfect seat. A lot of manufactures may have discontinued the particular color/ style you may need.

Simply going to your local home center may prove to be a waste of time and money. Here is a tip you can use to help determine what seat will best fit your needs, please see below:

First, determine who makes that toilet you currently have. The name is usually printed on the toilet.

Carefully remove the tank lid off the tank, inside you should find a series of numbers and or letters.

Write this information down, it will help the manufacturer determine what color and style toilet you have.

Once you have this information, you will have to call the manufacturer directly;

I have provided a phone list of the top manufacturers for you.
Kohler 800-456-4537
American Standard 800-442-1902
Crane Plumbing 800-546-5476
Eljer Plumbing 800-423-5537

When a manufacturer stops production on a toilet seat colors or styles, they will usually sell the molds to third party companies who will continue to produce the items under their own label. If the manufacturer tells you they no longer make the seat, ask them if they have a Church or Bemis equivalent model number. If not. You may still be able to purchase a seat from Church or Bemis.

Too find more information on Church or Bemis please see the links I have provided.http://www.bemisseats.com/catalog/retail/?cat=colors or http://www.churchseats.com/

This method has proven successful for a lot of my clients. Its may not solve every seat situation, but in most cases it will. If you have a uniquely colored seat, you may want to consider buying an extra toilet seat and storing it away just in case. Good luck,

Kitchen Sink bowls

Kitchen sinks are available in one bowl, two bowl, or three bowl models. The bowls can be deep or shallow, and have straight or sloped sidewalls. When deciding on the number and type of bowls you will need, think of how you are planning to use your sink.

Single bowl sinks are basic, but can be purchased with a depth of up to 10” or 12”. If you plan on using your sink primarily for rinsing dishes to prepare them for the dishwasher, then a single-bowl sink will probably meet your needs.

Two and three bowl sinks allow for multi-tasking. You can rinse or store dishes in the large bowl, and use the small bowl for a garbage disposal or to rinse vegetables.Bowls are available in different depths. Extra-deep bowls are great for soaking larger pots and roasters, but reduce the amount of space under your counter and may be troublesome for your back on a daily basis. Shallower bowls are great for rinsing vegetables or supporting garbage disposals. Bowl depths range from 5” to 12”.

The placement of the drain in bowls varies. The most common is a center-drain. Some bowls areThe placement of the drain in bowls varies. The most common is a center-drain. Some bowls are available with a rear-positioned drain. offers more usable bowl space, and since the plumbing underneath is set further back, it also adds the benefit of additional under-counter cabinet storage.

Selecting a Kitchen sink

Selecting your kitchen sink can be one of the most important decisions you make when remodeling your kitchen. Obviously your appliances play an integral role, however everything stems from the sink. That is where you wash and prep your foods and finish off your cooking experience. Selecting the right sink is very important and shouldn’t be rushed.

Most manufacturers make similar styles and shapes, but what you should be looking for is the features and benefits of each. Selecting a deep sink will be important if you use large pots. It gives you the added dept to fit a large pasta pot in the sink.Stainless steel sinks are probably the most versatile sinks when it comes to accenting your décor. Stainless steel is a neutral finish and works well in any kitchen. Do some research and continue checking out my blog for helpful tips and suggestions.
