For ceramic sanitary ware, it can be divided into five types according to the water absorption rate of the product. Of course, the one that absorbs the least water belongs to the porcelain category, and the one that absorbs the most water belongs to the ceramic category. Some people describe ceramic bathroom products like this. In our home, apart from sofas and beds, sanitary ware can best reflect skin-to-skin contact. This may sound a bit confusing at first glance, but it is really the case when you think about it. From this point of view, the quality of sanitary ware products is really very important.
Tips for purchasing ceramics in the bathroom: the less water absorption, the better
Sanitary ceramics and some accessories are the main components of sanitary ware, including various toilets, water tanks, bathtubs, face washers, etc. Although the structure of this type of product is not complicated, the quality of each small part directly affects the use effect and life of the product, especially for toilet products, the water-saving effect is more important. Relevant experts pointed out that the selection of ceramic parts in sanitary ware can be roughly divided into three steps.
First of all, three things need to be done before buying. First, determine the overall style of the sanitary ware. With the improvement of living standards, people’s aesthetic requirements for toilets are also gradually increasing. At present, there are many complete sets of products that meet the economic affordability of ordinary consumers on the market. Therefore, you must have a sense of matching before buying, including shape, color and so on. Those open bathrooms should also match the overall style of the room. The best choice is to buy products of the same brand. Even if the products are of different brands, try to achieve a unified style and match them properly.
Second, it is necessary to distinguish the reliability of publicity during purchase. According to relevant experts, in order to attract consumers’ “eyeballs”, some companies will abuse some signs, exaggerate product functions, and even make false publicity. For example, as consumers’ awareness of “certification” increases, some companies will mark “certified by a certain center” in the target position. In this regard, consumers can go to the website of the National Certification and Accreditation Administration to inquire whether the certification body has been approved by the state, and whether the certification the company says is consistent with the concept of uniform certification implemented by the state, so don’t be misled.
The third step is to have a basic judgment on product quality when purchasing. The inspection and judgment of appearance quality include two aspects, one is to check whether the surface is smooth and avoid cracking. The surface of the product can be observed from the side. There are no or few trachoma and pitting, good reflective effect, and delicate hand feeling, which means that the quality of the glaze is good. The second is to tap lightly with your fingers to see if the sound is crisp. Good-quality ceramic products have a crisp knocking sound, while cracked ceramic products generally make a hoarse sound.
Therefore, while choosing the right product, if economic conditions permit, you can choose porcelain products. Of course, not only the water absorption rate, but also the color, quality, and glaze of the product need to be paid attention to.
