How do I know which Jacob Delafon toilet model I have?
Correctly identifying your Jacob Delafon toilet model is the first step to choosing the right seat. Follow these steps in order:
- 1 Check the inside face of your current seat
Many Jacob Delafon models have the name or the reference engraved or screen-printed on the inside face of the seat. You can also look for the manufacturer's name on the cistern lid or on the side of the bowl. If you cannot find it, contact us.
- 2 Check the original installation manual
If you still have the toilet manual, you will find the full model reference along with the assembly instructions and the exact measurements.
- 3 Measure your toilet
If you cannot identify the exact model of your Jacob Delafon toilet, taking the correct measurements is the definitive way to find a compatible seat. All you need is a tape measure and these three measuring points:
| Measurement |
How to measure it |
Guide reference |
| Maximum width (A) |
At the widest point of the toilet bowl |
Between 34 and 40 cm depending on the model |
| Total length (B) |
From the front edge of the toilet to the centre of the rear fixing holes |
Between 39 and 48 cm depending on the model |
| Distance between fixings (C) |
From centre to centre of the two holes where the seat is screwed on |
Between 10.6 and 21.7 cm depending on the model |
|
 |
📏 Important: Original Jacob Delafon seats in Thermodur have fixed measurements that are specific to each model. On adaptable Duroplast seats the width is fixed, but the adjustable hinges let you adapt the length and the distance between holes to your toilet. If in doubt, contact us before placing your order.

Our team of experts can identify your Jacob Delafon model if you send us photos of your toilet. With one photo from above and another from the side we can identify the model accurately. Write to us on WhatsApp or by email and we will reply within 24 hours.

How do I know the size of my Jacob Delafon toilet seat?
Measure three points: Length (from the front edge to the centre of the fixing holes), Width (at the widest point) and Distance between fixings (from centre to centre of the holes).
IMPORTANT: THE MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN FROM THE TOILET, NOT FROM THE OLD SEAT
Do adaptable seats fit Jacob Delafon toilets properly?
Yes. They are made specifically for each Jacob Delafon model, with a precise fit based on the dimensions of the original. There may be minimal differences in finish compared with the original, but the functional fit is correct. They are the perfect solution for discontinued models such as the Atila, Atenea, Astros or Apolo.
What is the difference between an original and an adaptable Jacob Delafon seat?
The original seat is made of Thermodur, the brand's exclusive material, with the exact factory fit and finish. Adaptable seats are made of Resiwood (lacquered MDF) or Duroplast to the measurements of the original model, with a precise functional fit and the advantage of letting you choose from more than 29 colours, including discontinued shades.
Do you have seats for discontinued Jacob Delafon models?
Yes. We have adaptable seats compatible with Jacob Delafon models that are no longer made, such as Atila, Atenea, Astros, Iris or Apolo. If your toilet is old and you cannot find the original seat, our adaptable seats in Duroplast or Resiwood are the perfect solution, with a 2-year warranty.
How do I fit a Jacob Delafon toilet seat?
Every Jacob Delafon toilet seat comes with its assembly instructions included. Depending on the model, the fixing can be from the top (the nuts are tightened from above) or from the bottom (screwed from underneath the toilet bowl). If you have any doubts while fitting it, contact our support team.
