With people paying more and more attention to the decoration of bathrooms, the bathroom market is booming, and imported, domestic and joint-venture brands of bathrooms are dazzling. However, due to the lack of professional knowledge about bathroom, people often can't choose suitable bathroom products. So how do we choose sanitary ware? Below we will bring the detailed information of bathroom purchase, hoping to help you buy a suitable bathroom.
Selection skills of sanitary ware;
There are four ways to buy sanitary ware: look, touch, listen and compare.
A look: consumers can choose to carefully observe the reflection of the surface of sanitary ware products from the side under strong light, and it is better to have no or few sand holes and pits on the surface. Products with high brightness index adopt high-quality glaze and very good glazing process, which has good reflectivity to light and good visual effect.
The second touch: you can gently rub the surface with your hands, and it feels very smooth and delicate. You can also touch your back and feel the slight friction of "rustling" is even better.
Listen 3: You can tap the ceramic surface with your hand. Generally, the sound made by knocking good ceramic materials is crisp.
Four ratios: mainly investigate water absorption, and the lower the water absorption, the better. Ceramic products have certain adsorption and permeability to water. If water is sucked into ceramics, it will expand to a certain extent, which is easy to crack the glaze on the surface of ceramics due to expansion. Especially for the toilet, if the water absorption rate is high, it is easy to suck the dirt and odor in the water into the ceramics, which will produce an odor that cannot be removed after a long time.
Key points of choosing sanitary ware:
First, the overall shape: a good sanitary ware should not only be beautiful in shape, but also conform to human functions and be comfortable to use. The mold, equipment and design ability of the manufacturer are the decisive factors. High-level manufacturers generally use imported molds.
Second, look at the fittings of sanitary ware: the traditional copper fittings of sanitary ware and floating ball irrigation have been eliminated. At present, all the good sanitary fittings adopt imported pvc materials and vacuum pouring technology, which greatly improves the anti-corrosion and anti-rust performance and leak-proof performance. The water parts of famous brand sanitary ware are supplied by professional manufacturers.
Third, look at the glaze of sanitary ware: the brand of glaze, the thickness of glaze layer and the firing process of sanitary ware directly determine the effect of glaze of sanitary ware. The surface of imported glazed sanitary ware is smooth and delicate, full of texture, crystal clear and looks very comfortable. Moreover, this sanitary ware has strong self-cleaning ability and low water permeability. The inner wall of the sewer pipe and water tank of middle and high-grade sanitary ware is also glazed, so it is very important to prevent the toilet from hanging dirty, but this process is very difficult, and domestic brands rarely can do it. Whether the sewer pipe is glazed or not is also an important symbol to judge the grade of sanitary ware.
Detailed strategies for purchasing sanitary ware;
1, toilet:
When choosing a toilet, the following factors should be considered:
Gloss: The higher the gloss, the denser the product and the easier it is to clean.
Porcelain: The quality of porcelain is directly related to the life of the toilet. The higher the firing temperature, the more uniform the porcelain.
Flushing function: the flushing quality of the toilet directly depends on the pipeline design, and is also related to the water level of the water tank and the water use position. Modern popular flushing methods include straight flush and siphon. Straight-through pipe diameter is large, flushing force is large, and it is not easy to block. Siphon type uses the principle of vacuum to drain water and replace it with water, and the sound is very low.
Water parts: the quality of water parts determines whether the toilet is used normally, and more than 90% of the problems appear on water parts. When buying, you must carefully check the water fittings, and it is best to install them before leaving the factory to see whether the structure is compact, whether the movable connection parts are sensitive and reliable, and whether the water seal parts are flat. The material of water fittings is copper or polymer.
Water saving: Based on the concept of water saving and environmental protection, 6 liter flushing is the trend, and 3/6 liter two-stage flushing has a good effect.
Installation and service: Whether sealing rings and triangle valve are installed. , whether to install, whether to provide after-sales service, brand water parts warranty for 3 years, ceramic products will not appear quality problems within 5 years of normal use.
2, basin:
Ceramic pot is not easy to crack because of its high and uniform firing temperature, strong resistance to rapid cooling and rapid heat energy, and high cost performance. According to the size of the bathroom, you can choose column basin, upper basin, lower basin or art basin.
Column basin: composed of columns and basins, it usually saves space and is suitable for small toilets.
Basin: The choice of basin mainly depends on the smoothness of glaze, but also depends on whether the water is removed and whether the faucet is empty.
Art basin: reflecting individualism, the choice is to consider the collocation effect with other products.
3. Bathroom cabinet:
In addition to the size, style and color, you should also consider the following factors when buying bathroom cabinets: moisture-proof, waterproof and moth-proof, so the quality of materials directly affects the quality of products, so it is best to use moisture-proof materials. For example, 304 stainless steel and imported rubber wood.
Specifically, it should be noted that:
(1) The bathroom cabinet is preferably wall-mounted, with high feet or wheels, which can effectively isolate the invasion of moisture on the ground.
(2) It is necessary to know whether all metal parts are made of stainless steel or aluminum after moisture-proof treatment, so that the ability to resist moisture erosion will be strong.
(3) Before buying, check the opening of the cabinet hinge. The more accurate the hinge, the tighter the cupboard door will be, and the less easy it is for dust to enter.
(4) Choose a bathroom cabinet with many drawers, which is convenient for putting small sundries.
(5) When choosing the style of bathroom cabinet, pay attention to whether the maintenance of water pipes and the opening of valves are guaranteed.
(6) When installing the bathroom cabinet, be careful not to damage the inlet and outlet pipes, otherwise the cabinet will be soaked by water leakage when using it.
4. Shower room:
Acrylic board: mainly depends on the gloss of acrylic board and the thickness of back treatment. Under direct light, a good acrylic board has good shading effect and uniform light transmission, which can be felt by hands. Good materials are thick and not easy to deform.
Pulleys and hinges: The quality of pulleys and hinges directly affects the normal use of products. Good pulleys and hinges slide and switch smoothly, with little noise and are made of copper. Brand manufacturers generally have their own patented pulleys and hinges.
Safety: related to glass material, it can be divided into ordinary glass and tempered glass. Ordinary glass is cheap and unsafe to use. Tempered glass is widely used now. Tempered glass with at least 5MM has strong impact resistance and is not fragile. Generally, there is a toughened identification mark CCC on the glass, which is safe.
Waterproof: Dry-wet separation is popular now, considering the tightness of joints. Sealing strips must be used to prevent water seepage.
Practicality: bathroom products pay attention to collocation effect, not simply pursuing style. There is never the best style, but there are the most classic styles.
5. Faucet:
Faucet is the "conductor" of water and is used most frequently. Faucets come in various shapes and models. The following factors need to be considered when choosing a faucet:
Material: whether to use copper plating, copper is generally heavier.
Valve core: the "heart" of the faucet determines the life of the faucet and the water outlet effect. It is best to use a ceramic valve core.
Water outlet screen: Generally, the outlet of faucet has a rectifying screen cover, and the outlet of good faucet has a double-layer screen, which makes the outlet soft and smooth, without splashing and bubbles, saving water by 30%.
Surface treatment: the coating can be used for a long time without special maintenance. A good coating has three layers, and the electrostatic surface effect is good, ensuring that it will not fall off for life.
6. Bathtub:
Material: steel bathtub, cast iron bathtub, acrylic bathtub, pearl bathtub.
Steel plate enamel bathtub: the enamel surface is smooth and easy to transport and carry, but it is not resistant to impact and has poor heat preservation.
Cast iron bathtub: durable, high gloss, good acid and alkali resistance, but bulky, not easy to carry and install.
Acrylic bathtub: changeable shape, light weight and good insulation effect. However, due to the low hardness, the surface is prone to scratches.
Pearlescent bathtub: smooth surface, pearl-like luster, durable, good thermal insulation and convenient installation.
Drain valve: No matter what kind of bathtub is used to drain water before leaving the factory, this part is the most easily overlooked and the most prone to problems. When buying, you must try to install the drain valve on site and operate it several times to check whether the switch is sensitive and reliable.
If the bathroom area is small, you can choose 1400mm, 1500mm bathtub or shower room; If the bathroom area is large, 1600mm and 1700mm can be selected as bathtubs. If the bathroom area is large enough, you can install high-grade jacuzzi and double bathtub or exposed bathtub.
Bian Xiao concluded: Although all kinds of products in the bathroom are installed last, if you want to personalize your bathroom, you must first buy the bathroom products you are satisfied with, and then buy other materials, so that you can have your own full imagination in the collocation of bathroom products and personalize your bathroom.
