Shower Cabin Material: Stainless VS Aluminum
The most common shower cabin market is the stainless steel and aluminum alloy shower cabin. They both look similar. What's the difference? So which of the two shower room material is better, and how to make a reasonable choice? Here we will show you:
1. Material difference
Stainless steel shower enclosure, as the name implies, is a frame made of stainless steel, plus a shower unit composed of fully tempered glass or laminated glass and other hardware accessories, must use 304 stainless steel; aluminum alloy shower enclosure is made of aluminum alloy Like the stainless steel shower room, the frame is also a shower unit composed of fully tempered safety glass and other hardware accessories. The main material is aluminum profiles, but the quality of aluminum profiles used by different shower room manufacturers will also be different.
2. Corrosion resistance
Stainless steel shower rooms have better corrosion resistance than aluminum alloy shower rooms. When we use the shower room, it is inevitable that we will often be exposed to shampoo, shower gel and other skin cleansing products, etc., more or less will have a certain acidity and alkalinity. Once the time is long, the deposition and corner cleaning are not enough Thorough, then the material will be corroded, and even corrosion-resistant stainless steel will also undergo corrosion reactions. Moreover, the use of the shower room is not one or two days. After a long time, the oxidation reaction between the material and the air will cause corrosion. In this case, the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel shower room is relatively excellent.
3. Appearance comparison
Now many stainless steel shower rooms are clean and simple in appearance, and the metal texture is very strong. The biggest criticism of stainless steel shower rooms in the past was the monotonous color, but now the color steel has been developed on the market to make stainless steel no longer single; There are more choices on the top, the color changes are also rich, and the design changes are more. When the aluminum alloy shower room is electroplated, it looks more fashionable.
4. Insulation performance
If the indoor conditions are the same, the thermal insulation effect of the stainless steel shower room and the aluminum alloy shower room is not much different.
5. Price comparison
The price of stainless steel shower rooms is higher than that of aluminum alloys. This is beyond doubt. The stainless steel shower room not only has a long service life, but also has better safety. It is much more cost-effective than the aluminum alloy shower room, but care should be taken when maintaining.
