Among the many cases of renovation overturns, the bathroom door is one of the most complained-about points——

The Changhong glass door of my bathroom, which cost more than 9,000 yuan, is cracked and exposed. It is embarrassing to go to the toilet when there are outsiders at home!
The minimalist bathroom door that was promised was broken, and after it was installed, it looked \”silly and black\”.
My bathroom door is double-covered, and now it looks out of place with the overall decoration atmosphere…

So, as the bathroom door is an important part of the entire home decoration, how to choose and install it to avoid overturning? How can we make a bathroom door that is both beautiful and practical… As someone who has been there, I have summarized the following 6 tips for choosing and avoiding potholes in bathroom doors, all of which are paid for. Experience for your reference and exchange:

1. Door frame material – titanium-magnesium alloy is the first choice

Among door frames of different materials, aluminum alloy door frames are stable and durable and are the best choice. They are also the mainstream of bathroom door frames in home decoration.

Special reminder: The titanium-magnesium alloy doors that have become popular in recent years are actually a type of aluminum alloy doors. , because aluminum alloy itself contains substances such as silicon, titanium, and magnesium, and titanium is a relatively precious metal. Adding titanium element to aluminum alloy can make the door frame stronger and more durable, and at the same time have better anti-rust performance. Therefore, don’t be fooled by some merchants who sell you titanium-magnesium alloy at a high price.

2. Glass type – oil sand glass has good texture

There are two mainstream glass options for bathroom doors: Oil sand glass and Changhong glass.

Changhong glass was once all the rage, but people who actually installed it complained a lot about it. There are two drawbacks: First, it is easy to transmit light and people, especially when the bathroom door is directly facing the toilet. Under such circumstances, it is easy to cause embarrassment when going to the bathroom; secondly, cheap Changhong glass is made of ordinary glass, which has an obvious green light problem, which seriously reduces the appearance, unless you pay more to choose ultra-white Changhong glass.

In contrast, oil sand glass is more beautiful and practical, and is the first choice for bathroom doors . Oil sand glass itself has a frosted effect, which can achieve real light transmission and opacity. At the same time, from the perspective of texture, oil sand glass will be more durable and easier to create high-end effects.

3. Profile specifications – \”45/07\” is minimalist

The choice of bathroom door frame profile is also a point where many friends tend to make mistakes. When you choose, the so-called \”45/16\”, \”35/16\”, \”45/07\” and other professional terms are used by merchants. It refers to the profile series. Among them, \”45\” and \”35\” represent the thickness of the door leaf; \”16\” and \”07\” refer to the width of the door leaf frame.

In actual selection, of course, the thicker the door leaf, the better, and the thicker it is, the more stable it is; while the narrower the door leaf frame width, the better. Well, the narrower it is, the more minimalist and advanced it looks. Therefore, the “45/07” door frame profile is the best choice visually, being narrower and more minimalist.

4. Translucent treatment – pay attention to color and installation

Bathroom doors must have a certain degree of privacy. However, most frosted glass bathroom doors have a common problem of being leaky when exposed to water. For example, when taking a shower, as soon as water mist comes up inside the bathroom, the glass door will start to let people in.

To avoid this embarrassment, we must consider three aspects: First, pay attention to the color of the glass Generally, the darker the color of the glass, the less transparent it is; secondly, when installing the glass, merchants should be reminded to install the frosted surface facing the outside of the bathroom. This can effectively prevent the frosted glass from being penetrated by water. Question.

If the budget allows, choosing double-sided oil sand glass can completely solve the problem of penetration and make the door more stable.

5. Door cover technology-single cover has high appearance

The narrow frame of the door leaf does not mean that the door frame is narrow. Many friends\’ bathroom doors cannot achieve the desired minimalist effect when installed. The problem is often caused by the door frame being too wide.

If you want the bathroom door to have a minimalist effect, it must be made into a single-pack door cover . To make a single door cover effective, you must first remind the bricklayer to leave a good position when laying the tiles. At the same time, you must inform the door decorator of the specific requirements. Otherwise, the masters usually do it simply and save trouble.

Note: The width of the bathroom door cover should be controlled within three centimeters as much as possible, so that the overall width will be extremely narrow. effect.

6. Durable performance – do not touch sliding doors and folding doors

Unless the installation conditions limit it, it is not recommended to make sliding doors or folding doors.

First of all, the sealing and privacy of sliding doors are relatively poor, and it is easy to create sanitary dead corners. Better slide rails are needed There will be problems in two years.

Secondly, the advantage of folding doors is to save space, but no matter how good the folding door hardware is, it is easy to wear and cause problems. After a while, it is no longer as smooth as when it was newly installed. For those with elderly people and children at home, the folding door is easy to get caught and is unsafe to use.
