How to prevent moisture in the bathroom cabinet?
First, when we choose the hanging bathroom cabinet, we can't just look at the product's appearance and shape—the bathroom cabinet's interior and back.
You should also pay attention to the surface. The surface of the bathroom cabinet is coated with special waterproof paint, which is easy to wipe if splashed with water. However, if the back and interior of the bathroom cabinet are splashed with water, it will not be easily wiped off and may corrode the materials. Many bathroom cabinet manufacturers will do waterproof treatment on the back of the bathroom towel cabinet. It is better to have such protection.
Second, keep the air circulation in the bathroom. No matter what kind of material the narrow bathroom cabinet is made of, it will inevitably be eroded in a humid environment for a long time. Even if the brand and quality of the tall bathroom storage cabinet are good, we should pay more attention to cleanliness. If you want to prolong the service life of the bathroom cabinet, keep the air circulation in the bathroom and the floor dry.
Third, the size and shape of the bathroom wall mount cabinet. The purchase of bathroom cabinets should be based on the size and decoration style of our bathroom space, and then confirm the purchase. Reasonable space reservation not only brings convenience to our daily bath but also benefits other articles in the bathroom space.
What are the cabinet materials?
1. Solid wood refers to the solid wood after distillation and dehydration as the base material, which is processed through N waterproof treatment processes
The cabinet body. The countertop (or basin) can be made of glass, ceramics, stone, artificial stone, and the same materials as the cabinet. It is characterized by natural style, simplicity, elegance, and dignity, which can fully reflect the owner's household grade and dignity. After multiple waterproof processes and painting processes, the waterproof performance is very good. However, the biggest disadvantage of the solid wood cabinet is that it is easy to crack if the environment is very dry (such as the air conditioner vent or itself is naturally dry, such as Xinjiang, etc.), so it is often wiped inside and outside with a damp cotton rag during maintenance.
2. Ceramic refers to the cabinet body made of the ceramic body directly fired according to the mold, and the table surface is generally ceramic. It is easy to take care of and can fully reflect the clean and bright rhythm of the owner. However, ceramics are fragile items and are easy to be damaged if hit by heavy objects.
3. For density boards, the cabinet body is made with density boards as the base material, and then the waterproof treatment is carried out. The quality difference is that the waterproof treatment process sequence is quite different: first, blanking, then waterproofing, and finally, the cabinet body is the best. Waterproofing shall be carried out first, then blanking, and finally, the cabinet body shall be fabricated. Finally, waterproofing is deceptive. For the first type of material, the waterproof performance of all six sides of the cut material is the best. Still, it is difficult to customize the size, and on-site cutting cannot damage the cabinet structure. Otherwise, you will damage the waterproof performance and shorten the product's life.
4. Acrylic products must be processed according to the mold. First, you shall soften the acrylic materials at high temperature, and then you shall process the cabinets of various styles according to the mold shape; This kind of product is also waterproof, but its nature is very fragile and easy to produce scratches and cracks
5. For PVC, the cabinet can be made according to wood processing technology. The raw material of the cabinet is PVC skinned foam board, and the tabletop is similar to solid wood. It is characterized by good waterproof performance, and the color gloss of the baking varnish is bright, which is suitable for fashionable and avant-garde consumers. However, the PVC board will have stress deformation when subjected to gravity, and you cannot recover it after a long time. Therefore, the basin that this type of cabinet body generally bears is not large, and the weight is small.
