Bathroom hardware is typically composed of three main parts: the base (or mounting component), the connecting part, and the functional part. The base is usually attached to a wall or panel surface and is generally not finished on that side. By simply observing the color, you can usually determine the material used. The connecting components are usually surface-treated, and only certain methods are applied. Most functional parts are made from tubular or rod-shaped materials. If the tube is hollow, the inner wall may be visible. Since different materials have different specific gravities, objects of similar volume can have different weights—lightweight materials tend to be less durable.
Currently, there are several common materials used for bathroom hardware fixtures:
First, stainless steel. Although it's not widely available on the market, it offers excellent durability. It resists wear and tear and does not rust. However, its design options are limited, and the craftsmanship is often less varied compared to other materials.
Second, copper with chrome plating. This is the most commonly found type on the market. The rods can be either hollow or solid, and the electroplating can be either bright or frosted.
1. Hollow copper chrome-plated rods (mostly round, but some thick square ones exist):
These offer more styles and are relatively affordable. However, they are prone to wear and the plating can peel off in humid environments over time. Some low-quality manufacturers use thin plating layers, which can lead to peeling quickly. They are also more likely to deform. Reputable manufacturers usually avoid this issue, but some may use thicker-looking tubes with very thin walls, making them prone to breaking. It's advisable to press on them to check for flexibility—too much bending could indicate poor quality.
2. Solid copper chrome-plated rods (usually square tubes, sometimes with decorative twists at both ends to emphasize their solidity):
These have better craftsmanship, thicker plating, and are more durable. However, they come at a higher price and have fewer style options compared to hollow ones.
Third, aluminum or aluminum-magnesium alloy. These materials are resistant to wear, lightweight, and long-lasting. However, over time, they may show signs of wear or discoloration, especially in high-humidity areas.
