1.Understand the materials
The materials of high-grade bathroom cabinets are mainly solid wood, PVC and MDF.
The most unsuitable is the density board, because the density board is made of pressed wood chips, the moisture resistance is weak, and it is easy to mold, deform and peel if it is exposed to humid air for a long time.
Followed by PVC sheet, water resistance is undeniable, because PVC sheet has a lot of plastic components, its environmental protection and high temperature resistance (heating) ability is greatly reduced.
Solid wood is used as the base material, and it depends on the wood surface treatment process. Since wood is a natural material, it goes without saying that it is environmentally friendly. The surface has wood lacquer to resist the invasion of temperature, humidity and ultraviolet rays, ensuring that the base material will not crack and deform after being used in the bathroom for a long time.
In summary, solid wood is the most suitable material for the cabinet body. Because the price of solid wood panels is slightly expensive, the price of solid wood cabinets on the market is higher than other panels. However, considering the difference in durability, I recommend that you choose solid wood as the main material of bathroom cabinets.
Bathroom countertops are generally made of marble, artificial stone, glass, ceramics, etc.
Marble has various patterns and varieties. High-end decoration cannot be separated from the foil of marble. Of course, the price is not low. Disadvantages: high water absorption, and prone to cracks, the biggest shortcoming is the single shape (because the special shape is easy to break).
Artificial stone countertops overcome all the shortcomings of marble. There are many kinds of patterns and prices are very suitable. Disadvantages: Due to the large amount of compressed granular materials (plastic components), the hardness is slightly worse (easy to scratch), and long-term high temperature is easy to cause deformation.
The hardness of tempered glass is unbreakable even if you want to drop it, and its waterproof ability is unparalleled. There are also many disadvantages: due to the various glass production processes, the style of the basin is single, and the disadvantages of scale hanging are believed to be very clear to everyone.
Ceramics have a long history, and the ceramic processing technology is mature. There is no need to introduce more in terms of style, waterproof, scratch resistance and the most important anti-fouling ability. Everyone knows how the surface glaze of high-temperature ceramics works for us.
In summary, the most important thing to pay attention to is the anti-fouling ability of the countertop material. Generally, high-temperature ceramic basins are used as the countertop, which is easy to match and wash. Therefore, ceramic countertops should be given priority, followed by artificial stone countertops.
2.choose the external form of the bathroom cabinet that suits you
- Stand-alone: The stand-alone bathroom cabinet is suitable for single owners and rented apartments. It has a simple style, a small footprint, and is easy to take care of. It also has all the functions of storage, washing and lighting.
- Double style: The double bathroom cabinet is the best choice for a combination of two people with a large bathroom. It can avoid the situation of two people rushing to use a washbasin in the morning. It is not only very hygienic, but also users can place items according to their own living habits.
- Combined type: The combined bathroom cabinet has strong functionality and clear classification. It has both open shelves, drawers and flat doors.
Commonly used items such as towels and bath soap can be placed in the open shelf for easy access. Various cleaning products that are not commonly used can be placed in the lower cabinet. The more commonly used fragile items should be placed in the glass cabinet door, which is safe and easy to find.
3. Look in the mirror
Check whether the mirror is a lead-free copper-free silver mirror, and whether there are bubbles on the surface. Lead-free and copper-free silver mirror mirror image cleaning is realistic, the reflected light is soft and natural, corrosion-resistant, strong oxidation resistance, salt spray test ability is 3 times that of traditional mirrors.
4, look at the metal parts
Don’t think that it is enough to pay attention to the material of the bathroom cabinet, and the metal parts also need to be paid attention to, because the unqualified quality of the parts will seriously affect the use, after all, the hardware is the link connecting the cabinet. Although it is an accessory, it should be noted that if the quality of the parts is not good, the whole will not be usable.
5. Pay attention to color
The colors of the bathroom cabinets are varied, and the overall design of the bathroom should be consistent with the overall design of the bathroom when purchasing. Generally, light colors are the main color, which can make the bathroom look neat and elegant, and it is also easy to match various bathroom designs. The dark bathroom cabinet is more resistant to dirt, and if there are some small wear and tear on the surface, it will not be too obvious. In addition, choose a transparent mirror texture color, which can make the bathroom look clear and cool.
