Recommendations for buying glass washbasins

Recently, in some sanitary ware stores, I have seen pleasing glass wash basins of various colors, such as sapphire, Snow White, and violet. Compared with traditional ceramic washbasins, this kind of washbasin not only has a crystal clear appearance and bright colors, but also has transparent, crystal clear and dense glass material, which is not easy to breed bacteria and has the advantages of convenient cleaning. Therefore, it is favored by more and more citizens. .

As early as 1993, glass wash basins have been used abroad, and the amount is gradually increasing. In 2000, glass wash basins began to be produced in China. In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and changes in consumption concepts, the home decoration of citizens has become more and more demanding of individualization, and the emergence of glass wash basins has developed to cater to this individual demand. As the person in charge of Pfeit Company, which produces glass art wash basins, said: 'Glass art itself emphasizes not the use of function, but the function that best reflects its decoration.'

According to Jingyuan Building Materials Sanitary Ware Monopoly According to the store manager, in the past house renovations, ceramic wash basins dominated the world. However, in the past two years, this situation has been broken by the latecomer glass wash basins. Nearly 30% of households choose glass wash basins during decoration.

It is reported that the glass washbasin series produced locally in Guangdong are currently available for about 1,500 yuan, and as low as 500 yuan.

In order to facilitate citizens to buy glass wash basins, relevant experts suggest:

1. It is best to buy tempered glass basins and glass countertops, because tempered glass has several characteristics: High temperature (can withstand 100 degrees Celsius), impact resistance, and no injury (it turns into round glass particles after breakage).

2. Don’t think that the thicker the glass of the wash basin, the better. In fact, the thicker the glass basin, the slower the heat transmission speed when holding hot water. The temperature difference, the glass basin will crack under the action of thermal expansion and contraction, just like putting ice cubes in boiling water, the greater the temperature difference, the more serious the rupture may be. So under normal circumstances, a basin of 12mm is sufficient.

3. When choosing a glass wash basin, pay attention to whether the edges of the basin and the basin stand are rounded. Products with cut-off edges are not safe to use. In addition, the quality of the wash basin can be distinguished from whether the glass contains bubbles, and there are bubbles in the glass used in the inferior glass wash basin.
