Shower is a common type of bathroom products, and it is also a part of frequent replacement. There are many brands of shower and many optional shower materials, including stainless steel, copper, plastic, etc. among them, stainless steel shower and copper shower are two common types. The advantage of stainless steel shower is that it does not contain lead, acid, alkali, corrosion and release harmful substances, It will not cause pollution in human health and hygiene, so it is loved by people. So, is the shower copper or stainless steel good?
The surface of the stainless steel shower does not need electroplating. Its surface only needs polishing (polishing) to show the natural color of the stainless steel, which will always maintain the silver white luster and never rust. The polished surface of stainless steel products is still clean, bright and luxurious after 10, 20 and 30 years of use. And the stainless steel shower is easy to clean. The best cleaning thing for the stainless steel shower is: any kind of cleaning water and steel ball, the more you wipe it, the more beautiful it is as new as new. If it is a copper shower, it needs to be electroplated. The electroplated layer will gradually fall off according to the electroplating quality and thickness, and the original copper will be exposed in a few years, which is easy to rust.
Stainless steel shower is made of stainless steel, and stainless steel itself has corrosion resistance to weak corrosive media such as air, steam and water and chemical corrosive media such as acid, alkali and salt. It is also called stainless acid resistant steel. Stainless steel shower is a trendy way of bathing. At present, 80% of the high-end faucets in China and abroad are only made of copper. The trend of making faucets with stainless steel has only begun for a short time. The maintenance of stainless steel shower is easier. The daily maintenance of stainless steel shower is relatively simple. When there is dirt, you can directly clean it with clean water and steel ball. The more you wipe it, it will be as bright as new. The copper shower needs to pay attention to the electroplated layer. You can’t use clean water, which will corrode the electroplated layer, and you can’t use hard towels or steel balls, which will scratch the electroplated layer. However, with the maturity of the electroplating process, the electroplating layer of the copper shower has become more durable.
However, because stainless steel is much more difficult and expensive than copper in hardness, toughness, solution casting and cutting. Therefore, there are few manufacturers that can produce stainless steel showers, which are relatively rare. However, I believe that with the development of Chinese industry, there will be more and more manufacturers of stainless steel. At that time, stainless steel showers will become a trend leading fashion bathroom showers.
In addition, mankind’s awareness of environmental protection is becoming stronger and stronger, and the import requirements for the lead content of copper faucets are becoming more and more strict. The stainless steel shower set is healthy, environmentally friendly and lead-free. Conceptually, it is fully in line with the concept of human whitening.
In addition, let’s introduce the copper shower.
Hollow copper chrome plating (mostly round rods, and generally thick square rods): advantages of hollow copper shower: many styles and moderate price. Disadvantages: afraid of wear, good electroplating will fall off all year round in a humid environment. The electroplating layer is thin, and it won’t take long for electroplating to fall off. It is easy to deform. It is generally not a problem for regular manufacturers! However, the pipes used by some manufacturers are relatively thick at first sight, but the pipe wall is very thin, which will break when used (it is recommended to press hard when buying, and do not use those that are easy to bend).
All copper solid chrome plating (generally square tube, some specially twisted several flowers at both ends of the rod in order to prove that it is solid): all copper shower has the advantages of fine workmanship, thick electrodeposited coating, firmness and durability. Disadvantages: the price is high, and the style is not as good as the hollow one.
