Shower room material selection skills

1. Glass material

①Look at the glass surface

Shower room manufacturer

Affected by technology or materials, low-quality glass easily contains impurities and bubbles, and its permeability is also poor.


②See 3C certification

Qualified glass plates contain the 3C certification mark, and the 3C mark is burned on the glass surface, not a label.


③Select explosion-proof glass

Ordinary glass tends to explode due to temperature changes. To ensure personal safety, it is recommended to use tempered glass and explosion-proof glass.


[Prompt] The thickness of tempered glass can be divided into 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 8mm tempered glass is recommended first, which is practical and safe. Commonly used thickness 8 cm


2. Aluminum


①Thickness should exceed 1.2mm

In order to improve the bearing capacity and avoid deformation, the thickness of good aluminum materials is often between 1.2mm-1.5mm, and some can even reach 2mm.


②The hardness is above 13 degrees

Aluminum with a hardness of 13 degrees or more is difficult for adults to deform by pressing with their hands.


③The surface should be smooth

Good-quality aluminum has a smooth surface, no color difference, and no defects. The surface is sandblasted to improve corrosion resistance.


3. Hardware accessories


①Choose the sleek handle

The edges and corners of the handle should not be too sharp to prevent scratches and bumps.


②Select fixed rod

It is recommended not to use a retractable tie rod, as its strength is weak and its stability is poor.


③Choose a smooth and well-sealed slide rail

The smaller the gap between the pulley, the track and the glass, the higher the fit, the smoother the push and pull, the better the compression and weight resistance. In addition,


It is recommended to purchase slide rails made of stainless steel and high-grade synthetic materials for longer use.


④Do not choose a hard wall clip

Wall clamps that are too stiff are less flexible, and tend to cause the glass to explode due to distortion during installation and use.

The wall clip refers to the aluminum material that connects the shower room and the wall.


4. Waterproof sealing strip


①Look at the adhesive strip and the adhesive strip

Qualified rubber strips have strong magnetic properties and will not have break points at the hinges to effectively block water and improve the separation effect of dry and wet.


Tip: The rubber strip should be replaced once every 1 to 2 years to solve the aging problem.


A hinge, also known as a hinge, is an object that connects two objects and enables them to move.


② Observe the three major seams

It mainly depends on whether the joints between the shower room and the wall, door and door, shower room and the bottom basin are well sealed, and whether there is water leakage can be checked by splashing water.
