What Are Common Problems With Bathroom Cabinets? How Are These Problems Caused?

Q: What are common problems with bathroom cabinets? How are these problems caused?
A: Consumers most often reflect: big smell, plate cracking, surface cracking, parts corrosion, not stain-resistant, silver mirror black edge and so on several situations.

a)Impact strength properties of countertops or basins

Bathroom cabinet countertops are divided by material: ceramic countertops, natural stone countertops, artificial stone countertops, glass countertops, acrylic countertops, rock slab countertops. Feedback from the collection of relevant data: artificial stone and acrylic impact strength performance is better, ceramic countertops and natural stone countertops of the impact strength of the second, in the impact strength test is more prone to cracks, it is difficult to repair; glass countertops of the impact strength of the lowest pass rate, the phenomenon of glass rupture often occurs, there is a great security risk.

b)Hardware fittings corrosion resistance

Corrosion resistance is an important indicator of the durability of bathroom furniture. In the daily testing process found that many bathroom furniture products hardware fittings after the test, the surface produces rust products or discolouration and other defects, resulting in its corrosion resistance failed.

c)Moisture resistance

The humidity of the bathroom is much higher than other spaces in the living room, bathroom cabinets need to withstand the test of fog steam and water bubbles. Bathroom cabinet materials on the market are mainly stone, glass, metal, ceramics, oak, plywood and PVC. Oak has better moisture resistance, is the ideal material for manufacturing bathroom cabinets, but oak is more expensive. Multi-layer solid wood panels and other substrates after baking paint, dip plastic and other processes to deal with the moisture effect is also good, but for a long time in a humid environment, moisture resistance may decline. Bathroom cabinet metal parts also have to go through the test of moisture, and choose the surface of the moisture-proof chrome metal parts or bathroom cabinets dedicated to the aluminium products, the overall moisture-proof performance will be guaranteed.

d)Health and safety performance

In the process of checking the bathroom cabinet appeared more is the formaldehyde problem, bathroom cabinet formaldehyde precipitation of the source of these: ① furniture substrate (panel) in the residual free formaldehyde; ② furniture of a variety of veneer materials improper use of formaldehyde residue; ③ furniture in the veneer process used in the formaldehyde-containing adhesives; ④ furniture for the decoration of the processing of the beautification of the use of the formaldehyde-containing solvents as solvents for coatings.
