Hi All I have a new toilet to fit and it came with no fittings or instructions. Judging by it, it should be screwed directly into the floor. The holes are vertical so doesn't look like it needs those plastic block things. I am conscious that the screws will be seen and it is the only thing holding it down so worried about the screws cracking the pan as it moves a little. Are there special fittings for this type of installation? Thanks Lee

I fitted one on the ceramic tiled floor of the loo in my workshop by seating it on a generous dollop of silicone caulking. No screws at all. Still holding firm 7 years later :) Andrew

Typo alert. Sorry. I sometimes use a Pozi first, then replace with a slot head brass screw.

+1 from me - in fact +2 as both my pans are held in place this way, and have been since 1990. Rob

I assume they just don't work. Would be nice though.
