Quality And Unprecedented Utility Hinged in Bemis® Easy•Close™ Seats
Slow-Closing Hinge Seats Bring Peace And Quiet To Bathrooms Across The Country

SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. (April 16, 2007) - Say goodbye to the loud slams and bangs that all too often maim little fingers, and disturb a peaceful nights sleep. Bemis' Easy•Close seats eliminate the rude awakening of a startling midnight toilet seat slam and dreaded pain of pinched fingers between the seat and bowl when the seat falls shut. Now, the Easy•Close hinge offers an added level of sophistication and exceptional durability to the bathroom. Just as the Easy•Close hinge name implies, with a simple tap forward, the seat and cover easily close, slowly and softly every time.

Both functionality and refinement are embodied in Bemis' patented Easy•Close hinge. A happy medium is reached with the union of efficiency and luxury. "When the customer is looking to install a new toilet seat, they're expecting a certain degree of performance and quality," says Bemis' North America Plumbing Product Manager, Melissa Glancey. The Easy•Close hinge delicately and soundlessly closes the lid to reveal the much more aesthetic image of a concealed bowl.

With the growing consumer trend in matching accessories and fixtures throughout the bathroom, from faucets to handles to towel racks, not to be forgotten is the ability to match the toilet seat hinges. Seats and hinges are designed to provide a secure, no-wobble fit for long-lasting comfort and stability. And furthermore, the extension of chrome and brushed nickel Easy•Close hinges to all models of molded wood seats is bringing a small element of added splendor to the bathroom.

Toilet seats featuring the Easy•Close hinge are available in both round and elongated sizes and by the following Bemis brands: Church®, Mayfair®, and Bemis®. These seats are available at retailers and wholesalers nationwide. For more information visit www.BemisMfg.com.
