Toilet Seats "Finding the perfect 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 installation types

The installation of the sink can make a substantial difference in the overall look and functionality of it. Below are descriptions of the most popular installation types available today.

Self-rimming, drop-in – These sinks have traditionally been the most common in the kitchen. They are mounted from above the counter and have a built-in visible rim on which the faucet sits. These sinks work well with any countertop material but have a raised lip that may, depending on the sink material you choose, interfere with cleaning.

Undermount, recessed – These sinks are the most popular for their glamorous appeal and superior functionality. They are installed from underneath the counter and do not have a rim, so food and debris can be wiped directly into the sink. Any solid surface countertop of manmade material, natural stone or concrete will allow for an under-mounted sink installation.

Tile-in, tile-edge – These sinks have a “tile-in” edge. They are designed to mount flush with a tiled surface and offer a built-in, grouted sink edge.

Apron or farmhouse sinks – These sinks are becoming increasingly popular as many homeowners are going for a traditional farmhouse look in their kitchen. They have exposed decorative face panels and must be planned for early in your kitchen design because they have special cabinet requirements. See your cabinet fabricator before purchasing an apron or farmhouse sink.

Kitchen Sink Accessories

Accessories can be used to improve the overall functionality of your kitchen sink and the surrounding area. Below is a list of common kitchen sink accessories and their descriptions.


Faucets – A faucet that provides a flow of water into your kitchen sink. They are available in many different styles. Just make sure that the faucet you choose will fit the holes in your sink.

Soap/Lotion Dispensers – A container that dispenses soap or lotion. It is mounted besides the kitchen faucet and requires one-hole drilling on the sink or countertop for installation.

Hot Water Dispenser - Spout that dispenses hot water instantly! You can use it to make coffee, soup, tea, or Jell-O. Usually requires one-hole drilling in your sink or countertop.

Garbage Disposal – Equipment that grinds solid wastes into small particles for disposal into the sewer system. Very convenient but takes up cabinet space underneath the sink. InSinkErator offers the best garbage disposals on the market today, at the most economical prices.

Drains – Most manufacturers do not include the drain with the sink purchase. In fact the only manufacturer to do so is Kindred. When purchasing a different brand, make sure you also purchase a drain separately. Sinks of different materials may require different sized drains. Make sure you’re purchasing a drain that will fit your sink.

Air Gap - Connects the dishwasher drain and the sink drain and prevents the dishwasher from sucking the drain water back into the dishwasher. It usually requires one hole drilling in the sink or counter top.

Cutting Boards – Cutting boards are very convenient in cutting fruits and vegetables during food preparation. Many sink manufacturers provide cutting boards that fit their model sinks perfectly. This provides for preparation perfection.

Colanders – Many sink manufacturers offer custom shaped and colored colanders to fit and match their sinks perfectly. They are useful for peeling vegetables and washing cutlery.

Bottom Basin Racks/Bottom Grids –Wire grids made from steel that can be color matched. They fit snug on the bottom of the sink and are used to protect the sink from heavy scratches.

Kitchen Sink bowl information

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 are

The 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 the right amount of faucet holes for your sink

If you are installing a self-rimming (drop-in) sink then you will have an option for the number of holes you would like the sink to come with. The number of holes you should choose depends on the type of faucet and accessories you are planning to install. You can purchase a faucet that requires one hole (single-handle), or three holes (separate hot and cold handle). However, if you are planning on purchasing an accessory as well, such as a side spray (vegetable spray), soap dispenser, or hot water dispenser keep; in mind they require a hole as well. Below is a chart of hole options and what they can be used for.

One hole: Allows for a faucet with a single lever handle (no separate hot and cold handles).

Two Holes: Allows for a faucet with a single lever handle (no separate hot and cold handles) and an option of a side spray, soap dispenser, hot water dispenser, or chilled water dispenser.

Three Holes: Allows for a faucet with separate hot and cold handles OR a single lever handle faucet with an option of two of the following accessories, side spray, soap dispenser, hot water dispenser, or chilled water dispenser.

Four Holes: Allows for a faucet with separate hot and cold handles and an option of a side spray, soap dispenser, hot water dispenser, or chilled water dispenser.

Five Holes: Allows for a faucet with separate hot and cold handles with an option of two of the following accessories, side spray, soap dispenser, hot water dispenser, or chilled water dispenser.

Most undermount sinks do not come with faucet hole options. When installing an undermount the faucet holes are drilled directly into the counter top just behind the sink.
