What kind of bathroom door should I choose? What are the requirements for bathroom doors?

We all know that the bathroom is an important place in the home and it is also a place that takes a lot of effort to decorate. When decorating a bathroom, you need to pay attention to many details, especially the selection and installation of doors. There are many types of doors, so what kind of door is better for the bathroom? Let's take a closer look!

Which door is better for the bathroom?

General public toilet

In general bathrooms, the requirements for bathroom doors are similar to those for home bathrooms.

The main difference is that the requirements for sound insulation and odor isolation are not as high as those for a home environment. It only needs to meet the basic requirement of privacy.

If you look at the bathrooms in many ordinary units, you will find that they all have open bathroom doors. As soon as you enter, you can smell the stench and bad smell, but you can't see the people inside. The door frames are mostly made of plastic or a combination of plastic and frosted glass.

Upscale bathroom

The requirements for bathroom doors in high-end hotels, conference centers, and restaurants have exceeded the basic requirements for home bathrooms. They not only meet the four standards for bathroom doors, but also need to add high-end design requirements.

Hotels are places that pay attention to grandeur, so the bathroom doors also need to be grand and classy. Therefore, many luxury hotel bathroom doors are made of solid hardwood. There is no glass material. It is just a solid door.

Therefore, the bathroom door must meet some basic requirements, and further considerations and plans should be made according to different usage occasions and environments.

Summarize:

For bathroom doors in general households, it is best to choose aluminum alloy doors with film or frosted glass and sealing strips;

For low-budget family bathroom doors, you can choose hard plastic, film or frosted glass, and doors with sealing strips, which are also good;

For general public toilets: it is reasonable to choose aluminum alloy and glass, plastic and glass, or all-plastic toilet doors;

For public toilets that require a certain level of quality, we will build them according to the budget and level requirements. This has already been planned by the client at the beginning.

Several standards for bathroom doors

Privacy

The protection of privacy is a basic requirement. No matter what kind of bathroom you use, you must have the most basic privacy. This is a rigid requirement, so I won't go into details.

To soundproof

When someone is taking a shower in the bathroom, there are splashing and dripping sounds of water; when someone goes to the restroom, there is the sound of toilet flushing; some people like to sing while taking a shower, etc. These are all unavoidable sound sources. These sounds are usually unimportant and have little impact. However, if these sounds occur in the dead of night, they may cause considerable interference to the room and the people in the space, and may even cause long-term sleep disorders for some people. Therefore, the rigid demand for sound insulation is particularly important in home decoration.

Odor isolation

It is an extremely important indicator. Many people did not pay attention to it at the beginning. When they found this problem, they regretted it. The odor in the bathroom is a normal physiological process. The odor from the floor drain and the odor produced by mold are inevitable. If the ventilation system is not good and the bathroom door cannot effectively block the spread of odor, this special odor will spread to the bedroom and living room. Isn't it annoying? It is very embarrassing for the owner, so the bathroom door still has the basic ability to isolate odors and odors.

High humidity

Because the bathroom is used for taking a shower, washing clothes and drying clothes, the bathroom is the only room with the highest air humidity. An environment with high humidity is the best breeding ground for bacteria and mold. The humidity and water vapor will also interfere with and damage the material, structure and corrosion resistance of the door. At this time, wooden doors may not be the first choice for many families, because wooden doors are not moisture-proof, absorb moisture, and are more likely to breed mold.

Things to note when choosing bathroom doors

Privacy

Not to mention the privacy of the family bathroom. In order to ensure the privacy of family members, the bathroom must also have a certain degree of transparency. Many families use aluminum alloy door frames and frosted glass. Frosted glass can ensure that the details of people cannot be seen, while also ensuring the transparency of light in the porch and bathroom. This is the best choice. Now many families have this standard configuration, either frosted or film-covered, which not only ensures privacy, but also ensures light transparency, the best of both worlds.

Prevent high humidity

By choosing an aluminum alloy door frame and glass material, you can fundamentally ensure that the humidity in the bathroom has a minimal impact on the door, and fundamentally avoid the shortcomings of wooden doors such as mold and water absorption.

Sound and odor insulation

The sizes of door panels and door frames should be coordinated, and the gap should be small. The smaller the gap, the stronger the sound insulation and odor prevention capabilities. However, the smaller the gap, the more difficult it is to close the door. This is a contradiction. Only after we can ensure that the door can be closed smoothly and easily, can we talk about making the gap smaller.

With the help of the compression and resilience of the sound insulation strip and rubber sealing strip, the door can be opened and closed smoothly while being sealed. Although the sealing strip is small, it has a powerful effect.

Therefore, for private bathrooms, the general choice is aluminum alloy door frame + film glass + frosted glass + sealing strips (or sealing cotton), which can basically meet all the needs of all family bathrooms.

Of course, you can also choose a hard plastic door frame, plus a combination of film glass or frosted glass. The only disadvantage is that the rigidity and aging resistance of hard plastic are not as good as those of the aluminum alloy combination.
