    This came with installation hardware too, but a lot of new toilets don’t even have holes for bolts nowadays. The adhesive is more than sufficient to hold it down to the floor tiles. The silicone caulking I use to tidy it up afterwards just adds to that hold.

    The main reason to not use bolts is to avoid drilling into the floor and puncturing the water proofing membrane or floor heat pipes/cables.

      When toilets are bolted to the floor you don’t drill into the floor, the bolts are captive in a pre installed toilet flange that was placed before the flooring was installed.
