As the weather turns cooler, the temperature of the bathroom bath is gradually turned up, it is the time period when the shower glass is prone to spontaneous explosion, recently there are news of spontaneous explosion of the shower glass injury in the press. Here’s a look at how to prevent the shower glass from exploding?
A. Reasons for spontaneous explosion of shower glass
1, tempered glass quality is not satisfactory
In the absence of direct mechanical external force occurs under the action of tempered glass automaticity fracture is called spontaneous explosion. Although the phenomenon of spontaneous explosion of tempered glass may be caused by improper installation or improper maintenance during use, but the more likely cause is the quality of tempered glass produced by the manufacturer itself.
2, improper installation of the shower glass
Improper installation may also cause the glass to explode. For example, the installation of the glass has a certain degree of tilt or artificially changed the shape of the glass. In the installation of the most taboo is to cut the glass, because tempered glass can only be processed to the required shape at just the cost of the glass, and can not be processed in the size and shape after tempering, which is very easy to make the glass appear spontaneous explosion.
3, improper maintenance of tempered glass leads to spontaneous explosion
In the process of daily use, it is also common for the shower glass to explode due to sharp objects, sharp changes in temperature and other reasons.
Second, reduce the risk of spontaneous explosion of shower glass
1. Choose high-quality products and install them correctly
When choosing a shower room product, you need to pay attention to the quality of the glass. The minimum guarantee is the 3C certification mark on the glass; in order to prevent spontaneous explosion of tempered glass caused by improper installation, it is best to ask the manufacturer to provide professional installation when purchasing the product, so as to avoid the problem of damage caused by improper installation, and the problem of difficult to share the responsibility after the damage occurs.
2, to avoid sharp objects scratching
Tempered glass is very strong, and can even withstand the weight of several people, but it has a weakness, is afraid of being scratched by sharp things and impact. As the contact area of sharp objects is very small, the contact point on the glass pressure is quite large, so that the glass is subject to a large external force at the point and produce a slight crack, and for tempered glass, a little crack means that the entire glass internal stress distribution is damaged, thus producing numerous cobweb-like cracks in an instant.
3、Focus on protecting the glass edge parts
The middle part of tempered glass is the strongest, and the corners and edges are the weakest. These parts, once there is a crack, it is easy to smash the whole glass. I do not know if you have observed, the bus window glass sign on the location of the safety hammer smashed on the glass corners, which is also the use of tempered glass this feature. As for the shower, we do not want the glass to break, so in daily life, pay attention to protect the location of the corners of the glass, and regularly check whether the corners are cracked.
4、Paste explosion-proof film to reduce the danger of spontaneous explosion
Shower products on the market, due to aesthetic and other reasons, the general glass does not come with its own explosion-proof film. Explosion-proof film can improve the strength of tempered glass, and at the same time, when the tempered glass bursts, the adhesive force of explosion-proof film can stick the glass fragments together to prevent the glass fragments from splashing and injuring people due to glass spontaneous explosion. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of injury from spontaneous explosion of shower glass, homeowners can purchase explosion-proof film to stick on just in case.
Attention to detail bathroom other safety hazards one by one crack
Water heater and shower glass should be considered the two biggest hidden dangers in the bathroom, and in addition, there are actually many other safety hazards in the bathroom. The following I will list them as much as possible, and provide a crack.
Third, the use of other electrical appliances in the bathroom safety
1, the use of bath safety
Winter in the bath, if you use the bath for heating, it is best to open the bath first, and then put the water, so as to reduce the use of dangerous, and the bath can not be sprayed with water shower bar, if the water spray, it may cause a power short circuit and other dangers.
2, the heater pay attention to waterproof leak prevention
Many families in winter will also be placed in the bathroom heater and other heating equipment. For safety reasons, placed in the bathroom heater must do a good job of waterproof anti-leakage work, heater open as far as possible not to touch with wet hands, while paying attention to the routine maintenance of electrical appliances.
3, smart toilets and other sanitary ware with electricity safety
In addition to the previously mentioned water heaters, bath bombs, heaters, bathrooms may use electricity supplies and smart toilets, Jacuzzi, the whole shower, etc.. These supplies also need to pay special attention to their circuit safety, there should be leakage protection and overload protection devices.
Fourth, pay attention to the bathroom floor tile slip resistance
Bathroom floor tiles must pay great attention to its slip resistance. Tile slip resistance is mainly formed by the friction of the contact surface, so try to buy some patterned and bumpy floor tiles. If you use polished tiles must pay attention to ask whether the anti-slip agent is added, but also feel whether there is a raw anti-slip effect after encountering water.
