In the previous article, we introduced several common bathroom hardware products. But do you know what is the types of bathroom hardware materials? Today, Peak Fasten Tech will introduce you to the types of bathroom hardware materials.

Types of bathroom hardware materials：

The materials are roughly divided into three types: copper, zinc alloy and stainless steel.

Copper: Including H59 copper (electrolytic environmentally friendly copper), which is harmless to human body and is commonly used in faucets and other products. Copper accessories are made by bending copper tubes and stamping copper plates. The outer surface is chrome-plated. The product has a simple structure, beautiful appearance, good matching, and is suitable for use with medium and high-end sanitary ware. Copper and its alloys such as brass and copper chrome plating have higher stability and rust resistance. Copper chrome plating surface treatment can provide high finish and stability, while solid copper chrome plating has a thicker electroplating layer, which is stronger and more durable, but the price is higher.

Zinc alloy: an alloy mainly composed of zinc molecules, including iron, copper and other metal molecules. Zinc alloy accessories are made of zinc alloy die-casting, and the outer surface can be gold-plated, chrome-plated, bronze-plated and spray-painted in various colors. The product has strong matching, beautiful appearance and the price is low. ‌

Aluminum alloy: The so-called space aluminum is an alloy made of magnesium as the main raw material and aluminum as the secondary raw material, referred to as magnesium-aluminum alloy. The market often uses space aluminum as a gimmick, but in fact there is no real space aluminum bathroom hardware pendant. The electroplating effect of zinc alloy is slightly inferior to that of brass, but it is often used in combination with brass and has a higher cost-effectiveness. At present, this material is very popular among manufacturers and customers‌

Stainless steel: This material is environmentally friendly and healthy. It contains a high content of chromium, which forms a passivation film to protect stainless steel from corrosion and has good corrosion resistance. Stainless steel accessories are made of stainless steel with a polished outer surface. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and rust-resistant, and is suitable for various bathroom environments.The quality and price of stainless steel vary according to its grade. It is recommended to choose stainless steel with a grade of 304 or above to ensure its corrosion resistance and durability.

At present, the three materials are mostly used to make bathroom hardware products on the market. These materials have their own characteristics, and the choice needs to be considered according to personal needs and budget. For example, copper products usually have good corrosion resistance and aesthetics, but stainless steel pipes are favored for their excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel products are loved by consumers for their excellent corrosion resistance and beautiful appearance, especially in a humid bathroom environment, stainless steel can maintain good performance and appearance.

Common bathroom hardware products include clothes hooks, towel racks, bath towel racks, paper towel racks, towel rings, toilet brushes, soap nets, storage racks, toothbrush cups, faucets, shower heads, angle valves, hoses, bellows, etc. These products are mainly used to meet various functional requirements of the bathroom, from basic toiletries storage to decoration and practicality, covering all aspects of bathroom use.
