Abstract: Bathroom hardware in modern homes usually includes soap nets, soap dishes, mouthwash cup holders, towel rings, towel racks, bath towel racks, paper towel holders, clothes hooks, storage racks, etc. These small accessories The shapes are changeable and the materials are rich. Here we summarize the factors for purchasing bathroom hardware, compare the pros and cons of different bathroom hardware, and purchase precautions. What are the types of bathroom hardware? Sharing guide for purchasing bathroom hardware

The following summarizes the elements of bathroom hardware: Material: all copper, stainless steel, aluminum and copper-zinc alloy, etc., all copper (very expensive), aluminum (easy Oxidation) It is not recommended to buy. Copperless steel 304 has high durability and low price, and the alloy is beautiful and elegant. Pipe fittings: hollow pipes and solid pipes. After all, these are used to hang light items such as bath towels, towels, toilet paper, toilet paper, toiletries, and cosmetics. The hollow pipe is sufficient. How to judge the quality of the coating:

First look: Generally speaking, the brighter and more delicate the surface, the more obvious the mirror effect, and the better the coating process;

Second look: More I listened to the introductions of several brand shopping guides, mainly about the plating. Good bathroom hardware not only undergoes preliminary grinding, polishing, and dust removal, but also has as many as six or seven layers of nickel plating and chromium plating. The more, the better the quality;

Three grips: You can use the grip method to check the quality of the material. Some merchants will use cast iron material to pretend to be full copper or copper-zinc alloy hardware. Hold two or three pieces of hardware in your hands. Release it after a few seconds. If the fog and traces disappear quickly, it can be basically determined that it is copper. If the fog and traces persist for a long time, the material is most likely not copper.

Comparison of different bathroom hardware:

1. Raw materials

Inferior products: Generally, inferior zinc alloy recycled materials are used as raw materials, and corners are cut to reduce costs and structure. Loose, light and light to the touch.

High-quality products: Generally, finely polished pure copper, high-quality zinc alloy or titanium alloy are used as raw materials, with strict structure, heavy weight and thick feel. The raw material is pure copper.

2. Die-casting and finishing technology

Inferior products: Small die-casting machines and crude machine tools are used, and the pressure is insufficient. There are pores, silk marks, cracks, defects and surface irregularities on the rough surface of the product. Equality phenomenon, polishing craftsmanship is rough and the process is crude.

Excellent products: Using large-scale precision computer-controlled die-casting machines and digital precision machine tools, the surface of the blank is smooth, flat, without pores, silk defects, etc. The grinding and polishing process is rigorous and the processes are numerous.

3. Coating

Inferior product: The electroplating layer is thin and uneven, has a loose structure, poor bonding force, and dull luster. Due to the direct chromium plating on the blank, the surface will deteriorate after a period of use. Very easy to rust, wear, blister, and peel. The thickness of the coating is less than 20 microns, the material inside is susceptible to air oxidation, and there are many scratches and burrs on the surface of the coating.

Excellent product: Strictly in accordance with national electroplating process standards, imported raw copper is used, and has undergone three processes of copper plating, nickel plating, and chrome plating. It has a bright luster, a thick visual feel, and will not wear or rust after long-term use. , blistering or peeling, it will remain new for a long time. The structure is tight, the coating is uniform, the "color surface" is crisp, the coating thickness is generally above 30 microns, and the coating surface has no scratches or burrs.

4. Accessories

Inferior products: The fasteners are made of iron screws, which are easy to rust, and the glass products are made of domestic low-grade products, with uneven thickness, low transparency, and visual turbidity.

Excellent products: Fasteners are made of stainless steel screws or copper screws, and glass products are made of imported glass rings and dishes with uniform thickness, high transparency and clear vision.

5. Packaging

Inferior product: The packaging is made of poor raw materials, the printing is rough, the trademark is not clear and eye-catching, and the manufacturer is generally not indicated in the packaging, or even in white. "Three No's" products packaged in leather.

Excellent product: The packaging design is beautiful, the printing is exquisite, the trademark is clear and eye-catching, the manufacturer and detailed address are indicated on the outer label, and the inner label has a quality inspection certificate and installation instructions.

6. After-sales service

Inferior product: There is no after-sales service at all, and there is no valid installation manual or quality warranty document included.

High-quality products: generally have a solemn 3-5-year quality guarantee commitment, and include a valid quality guarantee certificate, inspection mark, installation instructions and the manufacturer's address and telephone number.

7. Selling point display and expanded after-sales service

Inferior products: There is no unified selling point display, display boards are often patchwork, rough production, product market prices are confusing, and generally there is no setting Special agent (distributor).

Excellent products: unified design, beautiful selling point display, well-made display boards, standardized market, uniform selling price, and generally set up special agents (distributors).

Purchasing considerations:

Sanitary ware is mainly composed of sanitary ceramics and their accessories. When purchasing, you should first have a sense of matching. All components and accessories of the entire set of products should be of the same grade. The styling and color tones of supporting products must match so that they can be harmonious and beautiful.
