As one of the key areas of bathroom decoration, the most important thing is the choice of sanitary ware. However, there are many brands in the sanitary ware market, with different materials and styles…
How to choose quality assurance and suitable sanitary ware is our compulsory “a home improvement course”!
1. Purchasing skills: first look, second touch, third listening, and four comparisons
A look: Consumers can choose to carefully observe the reflection on the surface of sanitary ware products from the side under strong light. It is better to have no or less trachoma and pitting on the surface.
Products with high brightness indicators use high-quality glazed materials and very good glazing techniques, which have good reflectivity to light and thus have good visual effects.
Second touch: You can gently rub the surface with your hands, it feels very smooth and delicate. You can also touch the back, and it is better to feel the slight friction of “sand”.
Three listening: You can tap the ceramic surface with your hands. Generally, the sound made by good ceramic materials is relatively crisp.
Four ratios: mainly to examine the water absorption rate, the lower the water absorption rate, the better. Ceramic products have a certain ability to absorb and penetrate water. If water is sucked into the ceramic, it will expand to a certain extent, which will easily cause the glaze on the ceramic surface to crack due to expansion.
Especially for the toilet, if the water absorption rate is high, it is easy to absorb the dirt and peculiar smell in the water into the ceramic, and it will produce peculiar smell that cannot be removed after a long time.
2. Key points of purchase: overall, accessories, glazed surface
One is the overall shape: good sanitary ware should not only be beautiful in appearance, but also conform to ergonomics and be comfortable to use. The manufacturer’s mold, equipment and design capabilities are the determining factors. High-level manufacturers generally use imported molds.
Second, look at the sanitary ware accessories: the traditional copper water fittings and floating ball irrigation have been eliminated. At present, the good sanitary ware water fittings use imported pvc materials and vacuum irrigation technology, and the anti-corrosion, anti-rust performance and leak-proof performance are greatly improved.
The third is to look at the glazed surface of the sanitary ware: the brand of the glaze, the thickness of the glaze layer and the firing process of the sanitary ware all directly determine the effect of the glazed surface of the sanitary ware.
Using imported glaze, the surface of the thick glazed sanitary ware is smooth and delicate, the texture is plump, crystal clear, and looks very comfortable. Moreover, this kind of sanitary ware has strong self-cleaning ability and low water permeability.
The downpipe and the inner wall of the water tank of medium and high-end sanitary ware are also glazed, which is very important to prevent the toilet from hanging dirty. Whether the downpipe is glazed is also an important symbol for judging the grade of sanitary ware.
Toilets, shower columns, basin faucets, bathroom cabinets, hardware… These essential sanitary ware for the bathroom, if purchased individually, it is difficult to maintain a uniform decoration style, and the price will not actually save much.
The branded bathroom package collects the necessary sanitary ware for the bathroom at one time, which not only guarantees the quality, facilitates after-sales service, but also has a greater price advantage, saving a lot of decoration budget.
