The Important Role of Hardware in the Shower Room

When choosing a shower room, I don't know if you have overlooked the small hardware parts. Glass walls, pulleys, rubber strips, stone and hardware make up a shower room. Floor Hinge, handles, door frames, wall clips, hinges, levers, square pass, racks, hooks, etc. on the shower room are all hardware accessories. Although these hardware parts are small, they are very important in the use of shower rooms, so everyone must understand the advantages and disadvantages of different materials in order to choose the shower room of their choice.

SS304 Stainless Steel Handle

There are usually several kinds of shower room hardware materials: 304 stainless steel, aluminum alloy and copper alloy. For example, there are SS304 Stainless Steel Handle and so on.

Copper alloy is the hardware with the best flexibility and hardness. In addition to its strong carrying capacity, easy cleaning, and beautiful appearance. Although the cost of 59 # copper is high, it can ensure the performance and service life of the shower room, and there will be no surface black spots, blistering, and delamination in long-term use.

304 stainless steel has high hardness, strong bearing capacity, mirror effect, long service life, good corrosion resistance, meanwhile, it is beautiful and high-grade, easy to maintain and have a long service life. However, some manufacturers said that the hardware is made of stainless steel during the introduction. Note that “304” is not added. Domestic 201 and 202 stainless steels are susceptible to rust. Manufacturers do surface plating to prevent the stainless steel surface from rusting. The hardness and hardness cannot be compared with 304 stainless steel, which is why some shower rooms have a lot of rust spots in a short time after use.

The advantage of aluminum alloy is economical, but the hardness and mirror effect are inferior to stainless steel and copper alloy.

So how do we identify the material of the hardware? Bottom Patch Supplier will tell you next.

First, it feels smooth to the touch, and there is no stumbling touch; then the surface of the plating layer of the accessory is observed with naked eyes. It is better to have no bubbles and even coating. Then it is held in the hand to feel the weight. Generally, in the same type of material accessories, the heavier the touch, the better the quality. Finally, look at the cut surface of the hardware. The cut surface of the inferior hardware has burrs or unevenness. When choosing shower room hardware accessories, everyone mainly looks at handles, slide rails, and hinges. You need to carefully observe and experience the flexibility of the three pieces of hinges, roller slides, and wall clips, and the nesting of the shower room.

In terms of handle: the smooth drawbar is stable, it should not be too angular and smooth, and it should be smooth and effortless. The overall shape can give people a sense of beauty.

The slide rail must be smooth and easy to push and pull, and it is difficult to judge the pressure and weight resistance of the wheels, wheels, and tracks with the naked eye. The main thing is to observe whether the nesting between the pulley and the track and the glass is good, the gap is small, and the sliding is smooth For the wheel seat of the pulley, the pressure-resistant and load-bearing material should be used. The good sealing of the wheel seat makes it difficult for water vapor to enter the wheel, and the smoothness of the wheel is guaranteed. Wall clips and hinges are best adjusted vertically and horizontally. This is an easy-to-ignore detail. Wall clamps are accessories for connecting shower rooms and walls, and hinges are accessories for connecting glass walls. Because the inclination of the wall and the offset of the installation will cause the glass connected to the wall to distort and cause the glass wall to explode, the installation of the hinges The same is true. Therefore, the material connecting the wall and the glass wall must have a vertical and horizontal adjustment function, so that the accessories cater to the distortion of the wall and installation, eliminate the distortion of the glass, and avoid the self-explosion of the glass. It is not recommended to use it if it is more rigid and inconvenient to adjust. So as not to cause the glass to twist and explode during installation and use.

The choice of hardware will directly affect the service life of the shower room. Please pay attention to this when choosing a shower room.
