FAQs
What is the main advantage of a soft-close toilet seat?
The main advantage is preventing the seat from slamming shut, which reduces noise and minimizes the risk of damage to the seat or the toilet itself. It also adds a touch of convenience and luxury to the bathroom.
How do I know if this toilet seat will fit my toilet?
This seat is designed for D-shaped toilet pans. You should measure your current toilet pan to ensure it has a D-shape and that the distance between the bolt holes is compatible with the seat's fittings.
What does 'Top Fixing' mean for installation?
Top fixing means the seat is secured from the top of the toilet bowl using bolts that go through the pan. This can make installation easier and allows for a tidier finish as the fittings can often be concealed.
What cleaning products should I use for this toilet seat?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the finish.
What is the warranty period for this toilet seat?
The Affine Bordeaux II Soft Close D-Shape Toilet Seat comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Can I install this seat myself?
Yes, the top-fixing design is intended to be user-friendly for DIY installation. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a professional plumber.
Troubleshooting
Seat slams down loudly.
Check that the hinges are correctly aligned and that no debris is obstructing the soft-close mechanism. Ensure the seat is correctly seated on its hinges.
Seat is wobbly after installation.
The top-fixing bolts may need to be tightened. Ensure you are using the correct tool and tighten them securely, but avoid overtightening which could damage the ceramic.
The seat does not fit the toilet pan.
Verify that your toilet pan is indeed D-shaped and that the spacing of the bolt holes matches the specifications for this seat. This seat is not compatible with oval or square pans.
Hinge mechanism feels stiff or slow.
Gently clean the hinge area with a damp cloth. Avoid using lubricants as they can attract dirt. If stiffness persists and affects the soft-close function, re-check installation for any binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Bordeaux II seat features a top-fixing installation system.

Specific instructions may vary, so consult the included manual. Ensure the fittings are snug but do not overtighten.
