There are large and small items in the bathroom that need us to organize them. At this moment, there is an indispensable cabinet. Therefore, the bathroom cabinet has become one of the must-have furniture in everyone's bathroom.
The decoration of the bathroom is also extremely important, so every process in the bathroom requires special attention. Each house is different, so the decoration of each bathroom is different, but the basic facilities of each household are basically the same.
Understand the material
The materials for high-end bathroom cabinets are mainly solid wood, PVC and MDF.
The most unsuitable is the density board, because the density board is made of pressed wood fragments, the moisture resistance is weak, and it is prone to mold, deformation, and peeling in the humid air for a long time.
Next is the PVC sheet, the water resistance is undeniable, because the PVC sheet has a large number of plastic components, its environmental protection and high temperature resistance (heating) ability is greatly reduced.
Solid wood is the base material, and it depends on the wood surface treatment process. Since wood is a natural material, it goes without saying that it is environmentally friendly. The surface has wood lacquer to resist the attack of temperature, humidity and ultraviolet rays, ensuring that the substrate will not crack and deform when used in the bathroom for a long time.
In summary, solid wood is the most suitable cabinet material. Because the price of solid wood panels is slightly more expensive, the current prices of solid wood cabinets on the market are higher than other panels, but considering the difference in durability.
Bathroom countertops are generally made of marble, artificial stone (pressed particles), glass, ceramics, etc.
Marble patterns are diverse and there are many varieties. High-end decoration cannot be separated from marble. Of course, the price is not low. Disadvantages: high water absorption and easy to crack. The biggest shortcoming is the single shape (because it is easy to break).
The artificial stone countertop overcomes all the shortcomings of marble. There are many kinds of flower samples, the price is also very suitable, the waterproof ability is super strong, no cracks, of course, will not break, and the processing and modeling are diversified. Disadvantages: Due to the large amount of compressed granular materials (plastic components), the hardness is slightly worse (easy to scratch), and long-term high temperature is likely to cause deformation.
The hardness of the toughened glass is that it will not break even if you want to drop it, and its waterproof ability is unparalleled. There are also many shortcomings: due to the various glass production processes, the style of the basin is single, and the shortcomings of scale hanging I believe everyone is very clear.
Ceramic culture has a long history in China, and the ceramic processing technology can be regarded as world-class. I don’t need to introduce more in terms of style, waterproof, scratch resistance and most importantly antifouling ability. Everyone knows very well how the surface glaze of high-temperature ceramics works. We work. Disadvantages: I have been using it for more than ten years, and I am tired of reading it! !
In summary, the most important thing to pay attention to is the anti-fouling ability of the countertop materials. Generally, high-temperature ceramic basins are used as countertops, which are easy to match and wash. Therefore, the countertops should be ceramic first, followed by artificial stone countertops (pressed particles).
