Sunday, June 7th, 2009

A set of bathroom accessories include a lot of items, but mainly the bathroom mirror, toothbrush cup, soap holder, towel bar, towel rack, toilet paper holder and clothes hook. Though with relatively simple structure, the material, color and pattern of bathroom accessories are not short of variety as considered by most consumers.

 

Bathroom mirror is divided into ordinary mirror and anti-fog mirror. Anti-fog mirror can be further divided into coating anti-fog mirror and electric heated anti-fog mirror. The former prevents the form of fog with the micropores of the coating layer; the latter increases the humidity of the surface of mirror through electric heating, the fog rapidly evaporates, thus fog layer can not form. The selection of mirror requires the observation of its quality from the front, side and reverse. Generally, when a person sees a mirror, he only focuses on his image in the mirror, neglecting the straight objects far behind the image. When you gently move the line of sight, if there is no bending or deformation of the straight objects, it is a definitely good quality mirror.

 

Metal accessories, for the unique luster and multiple models, have gradually become the mainstream products used in the bathroom designs. It should match the three-dimensional style of the self-configured bathroom three-piece suit (bathtub, toilet seat and basin) and accords with the shape of the tap as well as its surface coating treatment. Bathroom accessories include plastic-plated copper products, as well as the polish brass copper products, and more chrome-plated products, among which, titanium alloy products represent the highest-grade in quality, and then followed by Cu-Cr-products, chrome-plated stainless steel products, aluminum alloy chrome-plated products, iron chrome-plated products and plastic products.

The use of crystal clear glass and mirror face as the material for storage racks provides the bathroom with bright light reflections which provide the space with more vitality. In addition, before the construction of bathroom, a wall can be designed to build in beforehand, thus highly decorative can be displayed in the hollow of niche to create a luxury and unique sense to your bathroom space. However, if the bathroom is not spacious, the first thing to consider is to utilise the use of spaces, such as the use of mirror cabinet, receiving ark under the lavabo table-board, etc.

 

Matching towel bar, toothbrush, tooth mug, soap box can help you arrange the table in good order; refined toilet brush, receiving barrel are likely to be scene in the bathroom space. Further more the selection of bath mats and foot pads can not be ignored either, because they not only play the role of skid resistance, but also to keep your feet warm in a joyful softness.
