中文简体In modern home decoration, glass shower room (Glass Shower) has gradually evolved from a simple functional partition to an important element that reflects taste and quality of life. Whether it is a high-end residence, a star-rated hotel, or a fashionable apartment, the glass shower room is gradually becoming a standard choice in bathroom space design with its advantages of transparency, simplicity, and easy cleaning.
1. Overview of types of glass shower rooms
Before purchasing a glass shower room, you must first clarify its type. The shower room shapes suitable for different house types and bathroom structures are different:
1. Tempered glass one-line shower room
Suitable for families with small space or narrow and long bathroom structures. The one-line design saves space to the greatest extent and is easy to install.
2. Tempered glass corner L-shaped shower room
Suitable for bathrooms with slightly larger space, it is installed with a 90-degree corner, which not only has high space utilization, but also can visually widen the sense of space.
3. Curved shower room
The appearance is softer and rounder, suitable for users who pursue fashion, beauty and safety. It is especially suitable for children and the elderly to reduce the risk of right-angle collision.
4. Dry and wet separation glass partition
It is a trend in modern home decoration to effectively isolate the toilet, washing area and shower area, effectively prevent the spread of water vapor, and keep the dry area fresh.
2. Detailed explanation of shower room glass materials: tempered glass is the key
The "core" of the glass shower room is undoubtedly its glass material. Tempered glass is widely used in the industry. Its strength is 4-5 times that of ordinary glass. After breaking, it also presents blunt-angle particles, which greatly improves safety.
Tempered glass thickness
The mainstream thickness in the market is generally 6mm, 8mm or 10mm. 10mm thickness is more common in high-end customization, with good stability but relatively higher price.
Explosion-proof film blessing
In order to further enhance safety, many brands add a layer of explosion-proof film to the outer layer of tempered glass, which can prevent splashing and hurting people even if the glass breaks.
Self-cleaning coating technology
High-end glass shower rooms are usually equipped with nano self-cleaning coatings, which can effectively prevent scale and soap scum from adhering, making daily maintenance easier.
3. Hardware accessories: key details that determine the service life of glass shower rooms
High-quality glass also needs to be matched with high-quality hardware, so that the overall shower room can achieve long-term and stable use:
Hinges and pulleys
Hinges and pulleys made of 304 stainless steel or high-strength aluminum alloy are more corrosion-resistant, rust-free, and open and close smoothly.
Handles and rails
Modern high-end shower rooms mostly use hidden rails and frameless structures, and handles are mostly matte stainless steel or chrome-plated, with excellent feel and texture.
Sealing strips
High-quality strips should have good resilience and airtightness to ensure complete separation of dry and wet areas and prevent water from penetrating into dry areas.
4. Installation process and precautions
It is recommended that the installation of glass shower rooms be carried out by professionals to ensure safety and user experience.
Level the ground and make it vertical to the wall: Before installation, make sure that the ground and wall are flat, otherwise it will affect the fixing and opening and closing of the glass;
Wall load-bearing inspection: Glass is heavy, and the fixed part must have sufficient load-bearing capacity to prevent the glass from falling off later;
Silicone edge sealing: After installation, it is necessary to use mildew-proof silicone to seal the edges to prevent water seepage and mold growth;
Reserve expansion joints: In order to cope with thermal expansion and contraction, it is necessary to reserve reasonable expansion joints during installation to ensure long-term stability.
5. How to choose a cost-effective glass shower room?
1. Brand selection
It is recommended to choose well-known bathroom brands such as Arrow, Kohler, Jomoo, and Langs, with perfect after-sales service and guaranteed quality.
2. Check glass certification
Tempered glass must have the CCC national compulsory product certification mark, and can be tapped with hard objects. If the sound is crisp, it is tempered glass.
3. Try opening and closing experience
Try to open and close the glass door in the exhibition hall or sample room to see if the pulley is smooth and there is no abnormal sound.
4. Pay attention to explosion-proof membrane and self-cleaning function
Families with conditions are recommended to choose products with explosion-proof membrane and self-cleaning coating, which will improve the user experience and safety factor.
From the improvement of design style to the convenience and safety of actual use, the glass shower room is more than just a partition space. It is a perfect combination of modern bathroom aesthetics and functionality. Whether it is to optimize the space of a small apartment or to pursue high-end texture in a large apartment, the reasonable selection and scientific installation of a glass shower room are both worthwhile investment in bathroom upgrade solutions.
