How to choose the hardware in the bathroom, and will the copper in the pipe rust?

Choose the material of bathroom hardware pendant, and now there are mainly copper, space aluminum, stainless steel, and zinc alloy on the market.

Zinc alloy is a low-grade material in the market, due to the poor processing performance of the material, so the style is relatively single, and the surface finish is also very poor.

Stainless steel, many businesses on the market are shouting that their bathroom hardware pendants are stainless steel and will not rust. If you believe his word, then you have been fooled, and many people do not know. Regarding the material of stainless steel, it is also divided into many types of materials, merchants use low-grade stainless steel (that is, stainless iron) as a good stainless steel to sell, inferior stainless steel will still rust in a humid environment, I often meet people who say, my towel rod base is rotten, is there a change.

Oh, if you want to buy real stainless steel (generally 304 model stainless steel) bathroom hardware pendants, or buy the brand, but ** is not cheap!

Copper, I believe we all know that copper products are better, like the current bathroom hardware industry, most of the products are made of copper materials, such as faucets, angle valves, falling water, etc., because copper materials have good metal processing properties, and there are more innovations in the shape of products. And it has good adhesion to the electroplating layer, the surface of the product is very smooth after plating, and the copper bathroom hardware pendants are generally relatively high-end. Of course, ** is also relatively high.

It is recommended that friends with higher requirements for products and better economic conditions can choose to buy.

Space aluminum, a very popular material on the market, why is it called space aluminum, because it was used in the aerospace manufacturing industry in the early days, so it is called space aluminum. Space aluminum is a kind of aluminum products with high strength and corrosion resistance, which has the characteristics of light and durable, and the biggest advantage is that it will not rust. The surface of the bathroom hardware pendant of space aluminum material is generally oxidized, the surface is delicate and smooth, and the color of space aluminum products is silver, which is also the color that most young people like.

The only drawback is that the hardness of space aluminum is a little worse than that of other materials, so it is inevitable that there will be some scratches during production and processing, but it will not affect the use. The cost performance is the highest among all materials, and it is suitable for most people to buy.

The outside of the water pipe should be painted with anti-rust paint.

I think stainless steel is good, but it still depends on what kind of stainless steel, and it should be ***.

1. The chrome plating color of copper, if the plating is enough, is more durable than stainless steel, bright and noble, but it is not expensive, generally between 250 and 1200 yuan. However, many manufacturers are electroplating decorative chrome, so the product has the possibility of plating peeling, and the coating is not thick enough and the sealing is not enough, which will make the copper volatilize patina, if you want to choose copper, you must choose the products of well-known manufacturers.

2. Stainless steel is also defective, if it is produced with a material that is easy to rust, but it is cheaper between 30 and 60 yuan, if you use 304 to do the effect is much better, if you polish it well and add electrolytic treatment to be durable and beautiful, **between 60 and 200 yuan (because of the thickness of the material). There are also A3 material and electroplating products that are all rusty after 3 years, and space aluminum is also easy to grow powder, and the hardness is not enough, so you have to choose well and see the material clearly.

The choice of products depends on your own needs, if you want to have a little grade, durable, or choose 304 stainless steel, ** although a little more expensive, but if you pay attention to maintenance, you can use more than ten years without color.

Stainless steel bathroom pendants are compared with copper bathroom pendants.

1. Bathroom pendants made of stainless steel have great advantages over copper bathroom pendants in terms of beauty, luxury, hygiene, environmental protection, durability, etc.

2. It is conducive to aesthetics, and the best treatment method for the surface of copper products is: electroplating nickel and chromium. Depending on the quality of the electroplating layer, the fast one will gradually lose its luster for one year, and the slow one will gradually lose its luster and pitted in 10 years, and finally the plating will peel off, revealing patina.

And kitchen utensils made of stainless steel, tableware are popular all over the world. Because the surface of polished stainless steel products will always maintain a silvery luster, never rust, use for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, as long as you use clean water, it will be clean and bright, bright as new.

3. It is conducive to human health, hygiene and environmental protection. Copper products will contain lead and grow patina to varying degrees. Stainless steel products are acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and do not release harmful substances.

4. Durable. The hardness and toughness of stainless steel are more than 2 times higher than that of copper. Never rust, never corrodes, never deforms.

5. In terms of copper products, stainless steel is cheaper than copper, and the surface treatment is directly polished without electroplating, saving electroplating costs, but because the hardness and toughness of stainless steel are higher than copper, the processing difficulty is greater, the speed is low, the efficiency is low, and the labor cost is high. Therefore, there are some styles that may not be cheaper than copper because they are not suitable for processing.
