Buy New Bathroom Cabinets! Keep These Points in Mind When Buying And Not Stepping On Thunder

Some time ago, the second suite was renovated at home. Based on the lessons learned from the previous suite, some methods were summed up, especially in the selection of bathroom cabinets. I also came up with a few valuable experiences to share with everyone.

First of all, the material:

Bathroom cabinets on the market are roughly divided into wood, wood alloy, PVC, and stainless steel materials.

PVC will be used more in rental houses, but it is generally not recommended to use it in home decoration. Rental houses will use more. The advantage is that it is moisture-proof and easier to take care of. Compared to wood, it is easier to clean, but the disadvantage is that it will turn yellow after long-term use, and there may be a problem of discoloration. If it is not a tight budget, be careful.

The bathroom cabinet made of stainless steel is waterproof and moisture-proof, but it is easy to leave water stains. It has strong practicability but low aesthetics.

In fact, the biggest disadvantage of stainless steel is that it is quite difficult to match. In addition to the industrial style and some homestays with heavier tones, stainless steel-related bathroom cabinets are still rare. People who have less experience in indoor matching should be cautious.

If there must be a purchase demand, it is recommended to choose 304 stainless steel. The corrosion resistance below 304 is quite reasonable. If the budget is sufficient, 304 and above can also be used.

General wooden bathroom cabinets will be painted on the surface, which is good enough for aesthetics. However, if used for a long time in a humid environment like the bathroom, the paint surface will gradually shed, and the wooden structure inside will be damp, which will cause deformation and rot. . If you are particularly fond of wooden bathroom cabinets, if you find that the patent leather has fallen off, you must repair it in time. But correspondingly, it is more troublesome.

The hardware of the new bathroom cabinet does not seem to be a problem, but some of the thin hardware will fall off, dislocation, and deform after long-term use. During subsequent use, if the hardware is deformed, the door cannot be opened and closed. , Or the case where the cabinet door and the frame body cannot fit tightly after being closed. . Therefore, a good bathroom cabinet needs a solid hardware accessory to cope with the year-round use under such humid conditions in the bathroom.

The other is about the storage space: a good bathroom cabinet must have a large capacity and a reasonable storage space. Bathroom cabinets with reasonable design will have partitions of different sizes to facilitate users to store items of different sizes. There are many custom-made bathroom cabinets on the market with fewer partitions. Although it is stated that they are used to store large items, In fact, you taste, you taste carefully.

Therefore, if it is possible, if you buy a finished product, at least the design is relatively guaranteed.

Next is the washbasin of the bathroom cabinet: Generally, the material of the bathroom counter basin is divided into glass washbasin, stainless steel washbasin, and ceramic washbasin. According to the style, it is divided into under-counter basin and above-counter basin. I recommend you to use ceramic basins here, because glass basins will have water marks, and stainless steel basins are difficult to match and are not beautiful enough. However, ceramics can maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, have a smooth surface, and will not produce water marks, so it is convenient to take care of.

And the undercounter basin is dirty, so it's easier to wipe with a rag when cleaning. As for the selection of ceramic basins, it is best to choose ceramics fired above 1200 degrees, because the ceramization produced by high-temperature firing is more adequate, and it is more durable and durable. By the way, the decorator told me a way to distinguish the quality of ceramic basins. The trick is to knock on the ceramics. If the sound is clear and pleasant, it is good ceramics. On the contrary, if the sound is dull, the quality of the ceramics is not good.

And the hardware of the bathroom cabinet feels thick, and there are stainless steel hinges. It can reduce the sound of opening and closing the door, unlike the old bathroom cabinet in my house before, every time I close the door, I am surprised because the sound is too loud.

In addition, the basin is also made of ultra-high temperature fired ceramics, which has a very strong anti-fouling effect. The stains such as toothpaste can be washed away almost as soon as it is wet. There is no need to scrub with soap and brushes. A lot of effort.

Therefore, if possible, the bathroom cabinet can be made of wood or stainless steel. Of course, the best policy is still wood alloy material. After all, it is more friendly in terms of price and life, but it is still recommended to choose according to your own.
