Tips for selecting bathroom towel racks

The towel rack is the most common and essential hardware accessory in the bathroom, and its price is relatively cheap. Therefore, some people choose it randomly. In fact, it is not the case. We can judge the quality of a towel rack based on its material, appearance, weight, and other aspects, so that it will not cause inconvenience when used in the future.

Material selection: Copper material with good quality

The materials of towel racks can be roughly divided into four categories: stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, and zinc alloy. The characteristics of stainless steel towel racks are not tight enough and low cost; The all copper towel rack has a stable structure and is not easily oxidized; Aluminum alloy towel racks and zinc alloy towel racks are both between the above two.

Look at the surface: Electroplating treatment requires attention to detail

At present, there are three main electroplating methods on the market: chrome plating, gold plating, and wire drawing, among which chrome plating is the most widely used. Before electroplating, polishing, decontamination, and other treatments should be carried out to ensure the adsorption stability of the electroplating layer. The thickness of the coating can generally be distinguished by glossiness and flatness.

Weighing: Not the heavier the better

Regardless of the material used for the towel rack, its stem is hollow. Some unscrupulous manufacturers, in order to deceive consumers, fill hollow towel rack rods with cement and other items to increase the weight of their products. This is harmful and not beneficial. The increased weight is not conducive to the stability of the towel rack, which can easily 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 making a purchase, to avoid losing out on small things.
