Shower room structure:

The structure of the shower room is relatively simple, with an overall metal frame, glass, water retaining strips at the bottom, sliding doors, moving doors and other hardware accessories.

The overall metal frame is generally made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel.

There is an oxide film on the surface of the aluminum alloy, which is similar to matte treatment. Because of the easy processing of aluminum alloy, the appearance in the curved shower room is relatively smooth, and the price is relatively low. However, the aluminum oxide on the surface of the aluminum alloy is easily scratched. If it falls off, the exposed aluminum will easily form new aluminum oxide. At this time, pits will appear, and there is no way to eliminate them.

Stainless steel frames are more expensive than aluminum alloys and are less resistant to stains. However, through the brushed and polished surface, they are stronger in appearance and more durable than aluminum alloys.

The glass in the shower room is tempered glass. Although occasionally there are news about the self-explosion of tempered glass in newspapers on the Internet, but for now, the probability of self-explosion of tempered glass in big brand shower rooms is still very low. The thickness of the glass is 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, etc., and the thickness of the shower room glass is generally between 8 mm and 12 mm.

Whether it is a push-pull type or a sliding door type, there are hardware components such as hinges and handles in the shower room. The materials of these hardware components should also be paid attention to. The most common ones are mainly made of 304 stainless steel. In some low-end brands Shower rooms are likely to use zinc alloy to replace this accessory, which is much worse in terms of durability and strength.
