For the bathroom pendants, like hanger, tower rack, Shelves etc, all these things need to be rust-proof in this environment, so the material selected is important. Normal there are two kinds of material very popular for using, Aluminum and stainless steel. So is it better to choose space aluminum or stainless steel for bathroom pendants? Let Peak Fasten discuss together with you.
Advantages and disadvantages of space aluminum and stainless steel:
Aluminium Alloy
1、Advantage
Space aluminum is a new type of environmentally friendly metal material that has become popular in recent years, especially the use of space aluminum to make bathroom hardware pendants is very good. Compared with ordinary iron materials, it has both the advantages of ordinary iron materials and makes up for the defects. Space aluminum is not easy to rust and fade, because it adopts special technology, and it also has the advantages of environmental protection and durability. Therefore, it is ideal to use it as a hardware pendant in the bathroom. Also this material can be anodized in any of the color.
2、Disadvantage
The texture of space aluminum is relatively light and thin, not as good as other materials, so it may not be ideal for many friends who pursue high quality. In addition, the surface of space aluminum is a matte color. Although it can be dyed into various colors with potions, it is not as bright as electroplating.
Stainless Steel
1、Advantage
Heat resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance and even ultra-low temperature resistance; chemical corrosion and electrochemical corrosion resistance are the best in steel, second only to titanium alloy; stainless steel has good process performance, because of its good plasticity, it can be processed as All kinds of plates, tubes and other profiles are suitable for extrusion processing.
2、Disadvantage
The main disadvantage of stainless steel bathroom hardware pendants is that the installation cost is relatively high and the price is relatively expensive. In addition, stainless steel hardware is not resistant to the corrosion of alkaline materials, long-term use or careless maintenance will cause relatively great damage to stainless steel hardware pendants. The hardware pendants in the bathroom generally only hang relatively light items such as towels, so there are no particularly strict requirements on the material of the hardware pendants.
Low-grade stainless steel will rust. The higher the chromium content of stainless steel, the less likely it is to rust. The chromium content of 304 stainless steel is 16%, which has good stability and strong corrosion resistance. Even if it is placed in a humid environment for a long time, it will not rust. will rust.
The material of space aluminum has many advantages. It is the hardware pendant material of choice for many decoration users. Space aluminum can freely design colors, the appearance is very beautiful, and it will not oxidize and will not change color after long-term use. Light, so it's best used as a simple hanging rack, don't hang things that are too heavy. The performance of stainless steel is relatively strong, and it is not easy to break or damage. Although the installation is a little troublesome, the service life is relatively long, which saves the trouble of frequent replacement in the future. However, care should be taken when using it. The two materials have their own advantages, and consumers can choose according to their actual conditions.
