It is better to choose stainless steel or all copper for bathroom floor drain

When decorating the bathroom, everyone pays attention to the problem of waterproofing, but drainage is also the top priority, once the bathroom is not well drained, it is easy to accumulate water. Floor drain plays an indispensable role, there are many types of floor drains on the market, the most common of which is stainless steel, but recently Feimo Jun found that all copper floor drains are becoming more and more popular, so which of the two materials is better?

Owners who choose stainless steel know that the floor drain made of stainless steel is simple and atmospheric, and the price is cheap, and the use time is relatively long. However, stainless steel is also divided into 304 and 202 stainless steel, of which 304 stainless steel will not rust, and stainless steel of other materials will still rust and scratch.

Secondly, the copper floor drain on the market is heavier than that of stainless steel, strong and durable, and it will be deplated in general years. The appearance is more high-grade than stainless steel. All copper floor drains are basically plating, nickel plating, wire drawing, antique copper, if the plating layer is thin, there will still be rust.

However, the price of all-copper floor drain is more expensive than that of stainless steel.

In addition, the stainless steel floor drain is simpler than the all-copper material in the production process, and the production cost is low. However, the floor drain is embedded in the ground base layer and is tightly sealed around, so when choosing the floor drain, a durable and clean one will be selected. Generally, the all-copper and stainless steel floor drain is not easy to rust in the early stage, but after a long time, especially the bathroom is often exposed to the chemical cleaners that clean the toilet, and the floor drain is easy to age and rust in the later stage.

At this time, the stainless steel material is rusty and corroded, and it is difficult to clean up, and there will be scratches and dirt after brushing, but the coating of the all-copper floor drain has fallen off the long patina, which is still easy to clean, but the appearance is relatively poor.

From an economic and durability point of view, 304 stainless steel floor drains are more cost-effective than all-copper floor drains. But there are too many inferior fakes made of stainless steel on the market, which is not practical. Some of the expensive stainless steel floor drains are actually shoddy, and it is recommended to choose all copper floor drains.

The stainless steel panel is made of integral casting and rolling, without electroplating, but it should be noted that the material is divided into 304 stainless steel and 202 stainless steel, the former will not rust, and the quality is higher than the latter. Copper floor drain component is heavy, good appearance, can be plated, nickel plating, wire drawing, antique copper a variety of process treatment, the market luxury high-grade floor drain is basically copper, but it should be noted that due to environmental protection reasons electroplating industry is strictly restricted, some copper floor drain chrome plating layer is thinner, and the floor drain will rust after a long time. Many of my friends' homes have been renovated, and it seems that they are all made of stainless steel floor drains, and now the 304 stainless steel commander-in-chief odor-proof floor drains on the market are particularly popular.

There is no problem with the appearance of stainless steel floor drain in the short term, but after a long time, it will be corroded and become the result of one break and two petals; Although the performance of the all-copper floor drain is good, and it is easy to clean, but according to Zhang Qiming, an engineer of Oumeige Company, due to environmental protection reasons, the electroplating industry is seriously restricted, and the chrome plating layer of the copper floor drain on the market is thinner, and it loves to rust for a long time.
