First, when selecting hardware fittings, their models, specifications, and performance characteristics must comply with relevant provisions of current national standards and be compatible with the specific sanitary fixtures chosen for the installation.
Second, friction stays (hinges) used on windows must not be made of aluminum alloy; stainless steel is the preferred material, as stainless steel possesses superior hardness compared to aluminum alloy.
Third, shower doors in standard bathroom enclosures typically utilize a sliding mechanism. For sliding doors exceeding 1 meter in width-or those featuring double-glazed glass-it is advisable to install a dual-pulley system or utilize rolling pulleys to ensure smooth, effortless operation.
Fourth, following the installation of bathroom hardware, care must be taken to prevent rust and corrosion. During daily use, doors and fixtures should be opened and closed gently to avoid forceful handling that could result in damage.
Fifth, when installing hardware fittings using fastening screws, a metal backing plate must be embedded within the mounting surface; the thickness of this backing plate must be at least twice the thread pitch of the fastener. Fasteners must not be anchored directly into plastic profiles, nor should non-metallic backing materials be utilized.
