The shower room is a separate shower cubicle. Modern homes have higher requirements for bathroom facilities. Many families want a separate bathing space. However, due to limited space in the living room, only bathing facilities and sanitary ware can be placed. room. The shower room makes full use of the corner of the room, and the shower area is clearly divided by a fence to form a relatively independent bathing space. The shower room is generally composed of glass, metal frame rails, hardware connectors, and water retaining strips. When purchasing, we also need to look at the advantages and disadvantages of the shower room from these components.
Glass: Must have 3C logo
The first thing to look at is whether there is a 3C certification mark on the glass sheet. The 3C mark is China's compulsory product certification system. According to the “Regulations on the Administration of Building Safety Glassâ€, there must be a 3C mark on the glass for outdoor partitions, bathroom enclosures and screens. The 3C mark must be fired on the glass, not the label, and there is a sequence of factory codes below.
Secondly, it depends on whether the glass is transparent, whether there are impurities or bubbles, and there are always such defects due to process defects or impure materials. It is also necessary to pay attention to whether the glass chamfer is flat and the edges are damaged.
The tempered glass of the shower room is commonly used in various sizes such as 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm. Generally, tempered glass with a thickness of 6-8mm is most suitable.
Explosion-proof glass is a layer of glue applied between two layers of glass. There will be no fragments after fragmentation, but tempered glass does not have this function. According to the regulations, the amount of tempered glass should reach 40 or more per 50*50mm. .
Metal frame track: see hardness
In order to be able to bear the weight of tens of kilograms of glass, the thickness of the qualified shower room aluminum should be more than 1.2mm, the frame of the shower room with the upper rail hanging glass should be 1.5mm or more, and the hardness should be above 13 degrees.
Secondly, it depends on whether the surface of the aluminum material is smooth and flat, with or without chromatic aberration and trachoma.
Hardware connector: stainless steel or copper?
In addition to glass, hardware, slide rails, rubber strips, etc. are also the main accessories of the shower room. The ordinary shower room package is about three or four thousand yuan, and the shower room of a full copper hardware is more than 8,000 yuan. It is expensive on this hardware accessory. The skeleton and hardware components that hold the glass barrier are a key point of choice for the shower room, and even related to safety issues.
The hardware on the market is generally divided into two categories: stainless steel and copper. There are many sayings about good and bad, but the majority of owners need to keep in mind that if you choose stainless steel hardware, it is best to use 304 stainless steel because of its high corrosion resistance and hardness. High, not easy to deform, long service life. If you choose copper hardware, it is best to use 59# copper because of its strong bearing capacity, strong corrosion resistance, high hardness and not easy to deform.

Water retaining strip: optional installation should be first
The water retaining strip of the shower room needs to be used when the bricklayer enters the paving tile. It is best to bury it on the ground when the plaster master tiling. This is not only stable and durable, but the key is to adjust the bottom of the shower room. It reduces the difficulty of installation and is more durable. The material is mostly quartz stone or acrylic. Many owners did not understand the situation and did not choose a shower room beforehand. They could only choose one in a hurry. Once you buy a non-standard size water barrier, it will cost a lot more money in the custom shower room.
Shopping tips
Identify the true and false of the 3C logo
True tempered glass must have a 3C quality safety certification mark on each piece. This 3C mark is the tempered glass in the production process, first printed on the mark and then fired at high temperature. When testing, you can use a knife to scrape on the mark, and the one that can be scraped off is fake. Those 3C certifications that are posted will not be tempered glass.
Adjustment function for wall material and wall clamp
The wall material (wall clamp) is the aluminum material connected to the shower room and the wall. Because the tilting of the wall and the offset of the installation can cause the glass of the wall to be twisted or even bleed. Therefore, even the wall material should have the vertical and horizontal adjustment function, so that the aluminum material can be matched with the distortion of the wall and the installation to eliminate the distortion of the glass and avoid self-explosion.
Try to avoid composite acrylic sheets
At present, the plates used in the shower room are mainly acrylic sheets. The glass filaments used in some composite acrylic sheets contain formaldehyde and are one of the sources of toilet contamination. The way to distinguish the acrylic material is to look inside the shower room. If the back side of the acrylic board is different from the front side and is rough, it is a composite acrylic sheet. The shower room is divided according to the shape. It can be divided into a vertical angle shower room, a flat bath screen, and a bath screen on the bathtub. When purchasing, it is mainly selected according to the size and space characteristics of the bathroom.
Shower room shape comparison
The vertical angle shower room has a square shape, a curved shape and a diamond shape as seen from the shape; the structure is divided into a sliding door, a folding door, a rotating shaft door, etc.; and an entry direction is divided into an angular entry and a single-sided entry. The biggest feature of the angular entry type is that it can make better use of the limited bathroom area and expand the usage rate. The disadvantage is that it is relatively narrow and the air is lacking in circulation.
The one-line bath screen is installed on the wall of the bathroom, separating a part of the shower space, the structure is simple and convenient, and it is suitable for the bathroom with narrow width. However, the one-line bath screen shower screen lacks support and cannot be pushed and pulled too hard.
The bath screen on the bathtub is generally shortened by a flat shape on the bathtub, or the full fold shape is more common, and the bath bath and shower are required. The disadvantage is that the installation cost is high and not very cost-effective.
Bath room size planning
According to the Asian body type, it is suitable for purchasing a shower room of 90 cm × 90 cm or more. If it is too small, it will appear to be small in space and difficult to stretch. In terms of the size of the area, the size is also 90 cm × 90 cm, and the area of ​​the "L" shape is larger than the area of ​​the circular arc. Consumers are determined by their personal preferences and the actual conditions in the bathroom.
In addition, a flat-shaped floor-standing shower door and a flat-shaped bathtub shower door are also common. Because the construction is relatively simple, the price is relatively cheap. In terms of size, the inline shower door is flexible and can be customized according to the size of the bathroom or the length of the bathtub.
