Fact #1. The concept of sanitation and lavatory usage dates back to ancient times. Ancient civilizations using early toilet systems attached to flowing water sewage systems included those of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. In ancient Egypt, for example, lavish toilet seats for the rich were made from limestone. The poor used wooden stools. The ancient Romans also built sewers to collect rainwater and sewage with public lavatories featuring stone seats.
Fact #2. During the Middle Ages, the majority of toilets consisted of simple pits in the ground with wooden seats. Monks of the time constructed lavatories from either wood or stone directly over rivers. They had stone chutes designed to carry the sewage out to sea. In medieval castles, a toilet was usually a simple hole with a vertical shaft leading to a pit or moat.
Fact #3. In its most basic form, a toilet seat is a hinged unit that features a contoured seat for the buttocks and a lid. Both are typically bolted to a toilet bowl. In an ideal world, a man will lift the seat to urinate. The seat will be down for use by both men and women when having a bowel movement.
Fact #4. Toilet seats are often constructed from various types of wood, such as oak. They're available in many different colors or styles. Some are also built to fit the shape and to match the color of the toilet itself. Depending on the style, a seat can also be adorned with decorative patterns.
Fact #5. If interior decor, design, and elegance matter to you, a wooden seat is a good idea. Wood is also warmer, more durable, and thicker than plastic in many cases. When choosing a wooden seat, one must be certain the wood is of superior quality. It should be treated to prevent staining or discoloration over time.
