Bathroom hardware general purchase method

1. Look at the hardware material
There are many kinds of materials for bathroom hardware. Among them, the products made of pure copper are often compact in structure and weighed by hand. In addition to being heavier than similar products, they also have a solid feel and are durable. Generally speaking, the brighter and finer the surface, the more obvious the mirror effect, and the better the coating process;

2. Look at the hardware technology
Products processed through strict process standards often go through complicated machining, polishing, welding, inspection and other procedures. The products not only have beautiful appearance, good performance, but also excellent hand feel, even and smooth, and no flaws.

3. Listen: Listen to the introduction of several brand shopping guides, mainly on the introduction of plating. Good bathroom hardware not only experienced the previous grinding, polishing, and dust removal, but also has up to six or seven layers of nickel and chrome plating. Electroplating process, the more plating layers, the better the quality;

4. Look at the plating of hardware
Standard electroplating layer can not only make the surface of the product fine and even, but also avoid oxidation and rust in a humid environment. Look at the surface of the pendant with your eyes. If there is no blistering on the surface and the coating is uniform, you can choose.

5. Three grips: You can use the grip method to see whether the material is good or bad. Some merchants will use cast iron material to pretend to be full copper or copper-zinc alloy hardware. Hold the hardware in two or three seconds and release it. Basically it can be judged to be copper. If the mist and traces do not disperse for a long time, the material is likely to be non-copper.

6. Recognize the mark If you can't distinguish it, you can choose a more formal brand. Generally, formal products have the manufacturer's brand logo, and some non-regular products or some quality products are often only pasted with some paper labels, or even without any marks. Be sure to pay attention when purchasing.
