A towel rack is one of the indispensable hardware accessories in the bathroom. Its quality affects the convenience of our daily life, so it is necessary to carefully select the towel rack in the bathroom. So how to buy Bathroom Towel Rack? Now let's learn about the purchase of a towel rack.

Material Of Towel Rack

There are many materials for towel racks. Generally, the common ones are stainless steel, space aluminum, copper, zinc alloy, plastic, iron, wood, etc. towel racks of different materials have their own characteristics.

Space Aluminum Towel Rack

The silver bathroom towel hook made of this material has a relatively high price, stable material, no rust, and environmental protection. However, at present, many space aluminum on the market are just aluminum alloy, which is quite different from the space aluminum material in space equipment. After all, only a few manufacturers can produce it. So those cheaper space aluminum towel racks need consumers' attention.

Copper Towel Rack

A copper bathroom towel shelf unit is a kind of towel rack commonly used in China, with high grade. It mainly uses brass as a material and chrome plating process to make a very beautiful mirror effect, which is very noble. Moreover, the density and strength of copper are very high, and it will not rust after chrome plating. It is one of the very good materials for a towel rack. However, if it is not chrome plated, it will easily grow copper green, that is, copper rust, which will be difficult to wash when it is dyed on the towel.

Stainless Steel Towel Rack

The bathroom counter hand towel racks made of this material are widely used, with smooth surface and good appearance. At present, the better stainless steel material is 304 stainless steel, while 201 is slightly worse. After polishing or wire drawing, it has a mirror effect. A stainless steel towel rack is hard, strong, and durable, not easy to rust and corrosion-resistant, and is widely favored by consumers.

Zinc Alloy Towel Rack

This kind of material is loved by many consumers because of its wide range of colors and styles and many styles, which are not easy to rust. However, this material has a very fatal weakness, that is, it is not strong, brittle, easy to break, and there will be rust after a long time.

Select Material

The material of the towel rack can be roughly divided into four categories: stainless steel material, copper material, aluminum alloy material, and zinc alloy material. The characteristics of stainless steel towel rack are that the structure is not tight enough and the cost is low; All copper towel rack has the characteristics of stable structure, not easy to oxidize, good gloss and hardness; Aluminum alloy towel rack and zinc alloy towel rack are between the above two.

Identify the material of the towel rack, and use sharp tools to cut it somewhere. After being cut, the inside is white metal, which is made of zinc alloy; The golden yellow inside is made of all copper; the aluminum alloy material has a soft texture and is easy to cut; Stainless steel material is not easy to cut.

Look At The Surface

As the bathroom environment is humid, the surface of the towel rack must be electroplated. At present, there are mainly three electroplating methods: chromium plating, gold plating and wire drawing, among which chromium plating is the most widely used. Before electroplating, polish and decontaminate the wool embryo of the towel rack to ensure the adsorption stability of the electroplating layer. The coating thickness is generally calculated in microns, which cannot be judged by human eyes, but the advantages and disadvantages of products can be identified by gloss and flatness.

Weight

When some consumers buy towel racks, they feel heavy, so they think that the product quality is good. In fact, the heavier the towel rack is, the better. Because no matter what kind of material is used, the rod tube of the towel rack is hollow. Some bad manufacturers, in order to deceive consumers, fill the hollow towel rack rod tube with cement and other items to increase the weight of products. This is harmful but not beneficial. The increased weight is not conducive to the stability of the towel rack, which is easy to cause screws to loosen and even cause the towel rack to fall off as a whole. Consumers should not be blinded by the weight of the towel rack when purchasing, so as not to lose too much because of small things.

Check Accessories

When purchasing a towel rack, you should not only look at the surface, but also pay attention to the details such as screws, base, and welding. Because the humidity and temperature difference in the bathroom is large, ordinary screws are very easy to rust under this condition. The towel rack should use stainless steel screws to achieve the purpose of moisture-proof and anti-oxidation. Copper is a common towel rack base material. According to different materials, it can be divided into 59 copper (the unit content of copper is 59%) and 62 copper (the unit content of copper is 62%). If the content is lower than 59 copper, it does not meet the requirements of national standards. Welding is also a detail easily ignored by consumers. The welding seam needs to be polished. Otherwise, the protruding welding seam will not only affect the appearance but also cause inconvenience to consumers in use.

A bathroom towel rack is an essential part of the bathroom, it should be carefully selected.
