Why does the bathroom faucet of a five-star hotel always switch flexibly and smoothly? The same tap, some dozens, some tens of thousands, why is the difference so big?
The high-quality faucet not only uses the switch flexibly, but also has a smooth handle and smooth water flow. And the faucet is the most sophisticated device in the bathroom, and it is the object that the entire bathroom needs most time and experience to choose.
A clear understanding of the bathroom materials and processes, pay attention to product installation techniques. The bathroom at home can also be like a five-star hotel.
First of all, what needs to be explained is that in a five-star hotel design, the layout of the rooms is small and the towels and quilts are soft and warm. All of them have a set of stringent design selection standards. The design of five-star hotels is often through the visual representation of the design of the appearance, but the bathroom design is often an experiential design, it is difficult to understand through the simple application of the map can be used in the design.
The classification of the faucet
Taps are divided by structure and can be divided into single-linked, double-connected and triple-connected. The single connection type can be connected to cold water or hot water pipe; the double connection type can connect two pipes of hot and cold water at the same time, and is often used for the wash basin. In addition to connecting the two hot and cold water pipes, the triple connection can also be connected with shower heads, which are mainly used for the bathtub faucets.
There are three elements that make up a good tap: weight, spool, and material.
Weight determines the quality of the faucet
Can not choose too light weight faucet, light weight means low cost and poor quality, hollow interior material, faucet looks large, light weight, easy to use in long and high frequency of use, resulting in water pressure burst.
Spool determines service life
The valve core is the key technology to control the flow of water. It is the core technology of the tap. It is the key to verify whether the tap is durable.
The world's top manufacturers of spools have a track in Spain and Kellogg in Hungary. The average service life of their faucets is 500,000. Other well-known brands of bathroom products will also advertise their own spools from here. The top international brands often develop their own, or make custom models from here.
There are three main types of spools: stainless steel spools, ceramic spools, and shaft-roller spools
Stainless steel valve core
Stainless steel ball valve faucet is currently a high technology content of a leading valve core, some high-end bathroom brands are using laser technology processing irregular seven-hole steel ball valve, as its latest tap valve product. The industry also believes that this kind of spool is more suitable for areas with poor water quality, because it is not affected by impurities in the water and will not shorten the service life. Moreover, the handle of the steel ball valve core has a larger angle in the area of ​​adjusting the water temperature, which can accurately control the water temperature and ensure that the hot water flows out quickly and accurately, and has the effect of saving energy.
However, the production cost of the stainless steel ball valve core is higher than that of other types of valve cores. At the same time, the manufacturing process is more delicate and is suitable for applications where the water quality environment is poor. At present, there are some brand products on the market that use stainless steel ball valve cores.
Ceramic faucet
It is comparable to diamonds in that it does not leak water, and the deformation of ceramic materials is very small, and it has higher bonding strength than metal. Under normal circumstances, the crystalline ionic radius of the ceramic material is small, and the ion price is high and the coordination number is large. These properties determine that the ceramic material has very high tensile strength, compressive strength, elastic modulus, and hardness. However, the ceramic's own "brittleness" and difficult processing limits its application.
Ceramic valve cores are widely used due to their low price, low water pollution, good abrasion resistance, and good sealing performance, as well as the improvement of “brittlenessâ€. In general, the ceramic valve core plays a very good sealing role. Due to relatively strong foreign technology, some imported ceramic chips have relatively better sealing performance, stable physical properties, wear resistance, and long service life. Most of the mainstream mixers produced by most well-known brand sanitary ware manufacturers on the market have adopted ceramic valve cores.
Shaft Roller
Although the shaft-roller valve faucet handle is smooth, easy to operate, comfortable and easy to handle, and resistant to aging and wear, it has been difficult to meet people's demand for the valve core and has gradually withdrawn from the market.
Material is not only related to health
There are many materials that can be used to make faucets, but those who have not been tolerated for a long time have gradually eliminated the market. At present, the mainstream tap materials in the market include zinc alloy, copper, and 304 stainless steel.
Zinc alloy
Zinc alloy faucets and two other materials are inexpensive. It is also the main material for the construction materials market. Zinc alloys are generally based on zinc, adding low-temperature zinc alloys such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, cadmium, lead, and titanium. Due to its low cost, low melting point, strong plasticity, easy polishing and easy processing, it can be said to be a natural water dragon material. However, due to the purity of the material itself and the influence of excessive amounts of lead, cadmium, and tin, the quality is not stable enough. It is generally difficult to enter the selection criteria for a five-star hotel design.
copper
There are many kinds of copper, the advantage is that the copper ion has the bactericidal effect, plus the plastic shape is simple, good processing, corrosion resistance, brass has been used for the most common material on the tap. The copper content of qualified copper faucets is about 59%, the content is between 0.8% and 2%, the content of other elements and impurities is about 2%, and the rest is zinc content.
Copper faucets are the first choice for ordinary home decoration, but because the surface coating is not refined enough, it is generally not a standard for five-star hotels. However, pure copper faucets are often found in bathroom designs in boutique resorts such as Amman.
304 stainless steel
304 is a food grade stainless steel material, does not contain lead, acid and alkali, does not release harmful substances, does not pollute tap water source, has strong corrosion resistance, and is not easy to rust, which is related to its own composition. Stainless steel faucets The standard 304 stainless steel contains about 18% of chromium, about 8% of nickel, and a small amount of other elements. The balance is iron. The price is even higher compared to copper taps.
Electroplating process is the value of the faucet
The electroplating process is the skin of the faucet. Whether it is beautiful and durable and whether it has a sense of quality is closely related to the electroplating process. Chromium plating is recognized as a more mature plating layer in addition to chrome plating, titanium plating, rose gold plating, nickel plating, and the like.
In fact, the domestic sanitary ware products and the foreign high-end first-line brand gap is not large, but that is the gap of 0.01, resulting in the nature of the difference in experience.
