If you want to take a comfortable shower, you need a good shower head. As one of the necessary shower devices in bathrooms, shower heads are made of various materials and types. The main materials of shower heads are stainless steel, plastic, copper, aluminum alloy and aluminum magnesium alloy. The function of shower head is to spray water in a dispersed form to make full use of water resources.
1. Stainless Steel Shower Head
Stainless steel is common in the market. It can be made into shower heads, stainless steel windows, stainless steel cabinets, etc. The moldability of stainless-steel material is very strong. It has many advantages. For example, stainless steel will not corrode, rust or damage easily. At the same time, it belongs to environmental protection materials. It is sustainable development resources and can be reused.
Stainless steel shower head has the advantages of abrasion resistance, no rust, affordable price, etc. Its style is single. Its workmanship is not good.
2. Plastic Shower Head
Plastic shower head is a shower head made of plastic material. The water outlet of plastic shower head is silica gel. There are many styles of this shower head. Compared with stainless steel shower heads, they are good in decorative effect. The price is affordable. Plastic showers have their advantages. They also have their drawbacks. For example, plastic showers are easily blocked by precipitated fouling. It is not easy to clean up in the later period. This affects the beauty and use. In addition, plastic showers are extremely easy to break when using. And it is easy to deform when heated.
3. Copper Shower Head
Copper has a long history, dating back to the Bronze Age. Copper is widely used. For example, it is used as a shower head in bathroom. Copper shower head has its own features. Its material hardness is not high. Its melting point is low, and its surface is electroplated. There are many styles and patterns, which are highly selective.
Hollow copper shower heads have many styles and moderate prices. Copper showers are afraid of wear and tear and will fall off in humid environment. The plating layer is thin. There is also an all-copper shower head. Its workmanship is fine and the electroplated layer is relatively thick. It is strong and durable. However, the price is high and the style is not as good as that of hollow copper showers.
4. Aluminum Alloy and Aluminum Magnesium Alloy Shower Head
Aluminum is the most abundant metal element in the earth's crust. Aluminum alloy is made of aluminum as the main material and other metals. It has many excellent features. Such as lightness, environmental protection and corrosion resistance. It provides us with various conveniences. Magnesium aluminum alloy is an alloy in which magnesium metal is added to aluminum alloy. Its basic features are small specific gravity, high hardness, corrosion resistance and weldability. Compared with plastic, magnesium aluminum alloy parts can be made lighter and thinner. Therefore, they are used as the main materials for showers. Aluminum alloy and aluminum magnesium alloy showers are not afraid of wear and tear. They are light and durable. However, if they are used for a long time, they may turn black.
