A well-designed bathroom adds a lot to the coziness of the living space. For instance, shower rooms have been increasingly popular in recent years due to the widely accepted idea of dividing wet and dry lifestyles. It's common knowledge that their primary purpose is to separate water vapor, and they're also incredibly simple to use. It is more elegant and convenient than shower curtain dividers that are more traditional.
However, reports of explosions in shower rooms keep appearing, which makes people wary. Some acquaintances have observed that there will always be some overflow and that the metal will eventually rust even after building a shower room. Thus, Qi Jia'an will address everyone today regarding the shower room choosing criteria.
The main material of shower rooms is tempered glass, but the quality of tempered glass on the market varies greatly. Firstly, we recommend a glass thickness of around 8-10mm, which indicates stronger durability. Of course, the thickness of the glass also has high requirements for accessories such as pulleys.
But that's predicated on quality assurance. Some small brand shower room companies struggle to reach perfect tempering, and if there's an explosion, there will be jagged edges that could cut someone.
The glass in the shower room should first check if it has Chinese 3C certification. Having 3C certification means that the product quality is guaranteed and there are no quality issues. Some brands are imported products or exported to Europe, so they must comply with EU standards, and the glass will also have the words EN12150. After multiple standard certifications, the natural quality will be higher.
Furthermore, while it's not totally accurate, some people claim that glass explosions can be caused by temperature variations. Because the original sheet itself contains impurities like nickel sulfide, previous investigations have demonstrated that the original sheet is the primary source of self explosion in tempered glass. The self explosion rate increases with the number of bubbles and contaminants.
Shower room profiles are typically composed of aluminum alloy due to their lower cost. Some upscale shower room styles choose for copper or stainless steel, which is more aesthetically pleasing and has a more evocative appearance, but it also costs more.
It is important to note that the aluminum used in certified shower rooms should have a thickness of more than 1.2 mm, and the aluminum used in glass for rail suspension should have a thickness of more than 1.5 mm.
With strength and hardness three to four times that of regular aluminum alloy, titanium magnesium alloy has higher mechanical qualities and resistance to corrosion compared to aluminum magnesium alloy.
Copper alloy needs to be coated to increase its resistance to corrosion, and one key way to assess the quality of the coating is by looking at how well it adheres to the copper alloy. Because forged copper is expensive and requires complex processing, it is only utilized in pricey, upscale bathrooms.
Shower rooms have different shapes such as a straight line, square, diamond, or curved shape depending on the space. Generally speaking, curved shower rooms are widely used in addition to having higher space requirements.
The hue and lines of black frames have been the most in-demand in terms of appearance in recent years. They complement most decorating styles because they are, on the one hand, quite elegant and basic, but many designers also like the minimalist look.
Currently, sliding doors—inward, outward, or inward and outward sliding—as well as swing doors are the most common styles of shower room doors.
With the exception of the internal sliding door, which is not advised, the other varieties can be chosen based on requirements. There is a risk if someone feels physically uncomfortable in the shower and is unable to get help in a timely manner since internal sliding doors can easily result in limited interior spaces.
Users may open and close the shower room with ease and convenience thanks to the broad opening area of the flat open glass door. A swing door is typically used in a straight shower room because it doesn't take up much room.
In addition, for sliding door shower rooms, it is recommended to choose a style that can be pushed both inside and outside, and also observe whether the angle of opening both inside and outside is relatively large.
However, sliding doors need to be slid frequently, and the sliding rails themselves need to be of excellent quality. In contrast, if the sliding is not smooth, it is prone to self-explosion, and the sliding rail's groove is vulnerable to dust and water buildup. It must be cleaned on a regular basis.
You can utilize two sliding doors if your bathroom is divided into three sections and the shower and toilet are in a straight line. Take a shower, move the sliding door to the shower area, and when you're done, move it to the toilet area so that no room is used up.
The sealing strip has the primary influence on the sealing performance. Previously installed using silicone, the shower room is now fastened directly to the tiles using integrated sealing strips. Magnetic sealing strips are popular right now since they don't corrode, distort, or delamination as easily.
Many shower rooms employ water blocking strips for better sealing, but because they are unsightly to others, the practice of not utilizing water blocking strips was born. You need a lengthy floor drain with a significantly faster drainage speed than a standard floor drain in order to drain water from all directions if you don't build a water blocking strip.
However, finding a long floor drain this good is not something that happens by accident. Long floor drains are typically not advised in older homes with prefabricated panel construction. because there is a variance in height between the shower room's inside and exterior. The water blocking strip and the internal floor drain can only be separated by 1-2 cm, and this space is required to create a long floor drain. With the addition of a non-water blocking strip procedure, the floor slab, which is approximately 12 cm in length, can be lowered by 3–4 cm to form a long floor drain.
If it is a drainage bathroom on the same floor, it is possible to make a water blocking strip with a thickness of 18-20mm, which is almost on the same plane as the floor tiles, but the floor inside the shower room is used as the bottom to form drainage.
If it is a partitioned drainage shower room, it is not possible to create a large drop in drainage on the ground, so the water blocking strip should be higher and the aesthetics are relatively poor.
