Stainless steel is the preferred material for bathroom handles, especially in humid, watery and corrosive environments, its advantages are very obvious. The following are the specific benefits:
1. Super strong rust-proof and corrosion-resistant
✅ 304/316 stainless steel contains 18% chromium (Cr) and 8%~10% nickel (Ni), which can form a dense oxide film (passivation layer) on the surface, effectively resisting the erosion of water vapor, shower gel, shampoo and other chemicals.
✅ 316 stainless steel contains an additional 2%~3% molybdenum (Mo, suitable for coastal and high salt spray areas, with stronger resistance to chloride ion corrosion.
? Compared with other materials:
- Iron/poor-quality alloys: easy to rust and peel.
- Ordinary electrogalvanized: long-term moisture is easy to oxidize.
2. Strong durability and long service life
✅ High hardness: The stainless steel handle is not easy to deform and scratch, and can still be stable after long-term use.
✅ High temperature resistance: It is not affected by bathroom steam, and will not age and become brittle like plastic handles.
? Applicable scenes: shower rooms, bathroom cabinets, glass doors and other high-frequency use areas.
3. Easy to clean, antibacterial and hygienic
✅ The surface is smooth (sand brushed/mirror treatment), not easy to leave water scale and soap stains, and can be wiped clean.
✅ No pore structure, inhibiting the growth of mold and bacteria, is more hygienic than copper and wood.
? Cleaning suggestions: wipe with neutral detergent + soft cloth to avoid scratching the wire ball.
4. The style is versatile and the appearance is good.
✅ A variety of surface treatments are available:
- Brushed matte: low-key high-end, hidden fingerprints.
- Mirror polishing: modern light luxury, brightening the space.
- PVD plating: black titanium, rose gold, etc., matching different decoration styles.
5. Environmentally friendly, non-toxic, safe and reliable
✅ It does not contain lead, cadmium and other harmful substances, and there is no hidden danger in contact with the skin (especially suitable for children's families).
✅ 100% recyclable, more environmentally friendly than electrogalvanized and plastic.
6. High cost performance and low maintenance cost
? One-time investment, long-term exemption:
- High-quality 304/316 stainless steel handles can be used for more than 10 years, saving maintenance costs.
