Shower, as one of the necessary shower devices in the bathroom, its material is directly related to the service life of the shower. So what are the shower materials? Which material is better? For the owners who are about to renovate, which one is more suitable for them?

At present, the shower materials on the market generally include plastic showers, alloy showers, stainless steel showers and copper showers. Compared with the first two, the quality of copper shower head and stainless steel shower head is better, and of course the price is relatively high.

1. Plastic material

The plastic shower head, because the water outlet hole is made of silicone material, is used for a long time, and the scale will easily block the water outlet hole. The current plastic performance is good, and the strength and heat resistance are also good. Showers made of this type of material are relatively affordable and cost-effective, but they are prone to problems such as water leakage over time.

2. Stainless steel material

Because the trend of stainless steel showers has only started for a short time, there are not many stainless steel showers on the market. Compared with copper showerheads, stainless steel showerheads do not contain lead, and are resistant to acid, alkali, corrosion, release of harmful substances, and pollution of tap water. After many years of use, the stainless steel material still has a good gloss and a long service life. However, because stainless steel is much more difficult than copper in terms of hardness, toughness, melt casting and cutting, which increases the cost of R&D and production, the high-end showerheads on the market are still dominated by copper showerheads.

3. Alloy material

The main materials of alloy showers are aluminum alloys and aluminum-magnesium alloys. The advantages of these materials are that they are not afraid of wear and tear, light and durable, but they may become black after a long time, so the number of showers of these materials is getting smaller and smaller.

4. Copper chrome plated material

The copper showerheads on the market are generally chrome-plated on the surface, and the appearance looks very glossy. Copper contains lead, so be sure to choose a copper shower with good chrome plating quality when purchasing. The coating is too thin, it is easy to fall off, and eventually the patina is exposed, and the owner has to replace the shower.

Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you have a limited budget, choose an affordable plastic material. But in the long run, the editor still recommends owners to choose stainless steel or high-quality copper shower heads.As an Italian brand, LURAIN has been adhering to the ultimate Italian craftsmanship for many years, focusing on the research and development and brand marketing of shower products.LURAIN insists on people-oriented and water as the source.
