We all know that the main function of the shower room, which is one of the big men in the bathroom, is the separation of dry and wet. The waterproof hero of the shower room is the sealing strip.
The following editor will take you into the world of shower rooms and explain to you how to buy a shower room with good safety and comfort.
1. The material determines the safety of the shower room
Shower rooms are generally made of glass or plexiglass. Due to the poor performance of plexiglass in terms of aging resistance, strength, and wear resistance, fewer and fewer shower rooms are manufactured using it.
Ordinary glass is not safe due to its poor rigidity and brittleness. Therefore, the shower rooms produced by responsible manufacturers are made of tempered explosion-proof glass with excellent strength and rigidity.
2. Hinged shower room is more popular
According to the way of door switch, shower room is divided into slide rail type and hinge type. The early shower rooms were all sliding rails. The base and top side of the shower room were equipped with sliding rails, and the door was embedded in the sliding rails to slide back and forth to open and close.
Since the sliding rails are easy to accumulate dirt or fall into the hard objects, it is difficult to clean up, which will make the door switch not smooth and cause damage.
Moreover, the slide rail itself has shortcomings such as short service life and large noise when pushing and pulling, so now the higher-grade shower rooms have been generally upgraded to hinge type.
The hinged shower room generally adopts a frameless design, with a simple and smooth appearance, which is generally welcomed.
The weight of the hinged shower room glass door is completely carried by the hinge. Because the glass door is very heavy, the quality requirements of the hinge are very high, requiring corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and strong bearing capacity.
There are two different types of hinges on the market: copper electroplating hinges and stainless steel die-casting hinges. Stainless steel die-casting hinges are slightly higher in terms of appearance, strength and corrosion resistance, so well-known brands often choose stainless steel. The die-cast hinge ensures the safe use of the shower room and prolongs its service life.
3. The shower room mainly has three appearance styles: arc, right angle and inline
The arc-shaped and right-angle shower room should be installed in the vertical corner, and the bathing area should be divided in the corner of the bathroom, which is more suitable for the bathroom with a slightly larger area and a roughly square shape.
The one-line shower room is composed of a glass door and a glass screen connected by metal hinges in a straight line. The two ends are respectively fixed on the opposite two walls, which separates one end of the bathroom and divides it into a bathing area. Generally suitable for It can be used in rectangular bathrooms or irregular-shaped bathrooms.
4. The important role of the sealing strip
The main function of the shower room is to block the splashing water when bathing, so when choosing, pay attention to whether the product you choose has a sealing strip at the connection between glass and glass, glass and wall. (If not, it will be difficult to block the water splashed by the nozzle when bathing, and the function of the shower room will be greatly reduced.)
Moreover, the sealing strip of the high-quality shower room should not have a break point at the hinge, and the sealing strip between the glass doors should be magnetic, so that the water blocking performance will be better.
