6 advantages of choosing stainless steel for bathroom handles

2025-05-22

   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.
