Brass shower door hinges are hardware components used to attach and pivot shower doors. They are specifically made from brass, a metal alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. Brass is chosen for shower door hinges due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Benefits of using brass shower door hinges:
When it comes down to it, brass has the most benefits. They are as follows:
-
Corrosion Resistance
Brass hinges are often the product of choice selected in marine applications because it is highly resistant to rust; much more so than galvanized steel or bronze. Pitting and crevice corrosion will likely develop over time on the surface of a stainless steel hinge. The brass material is far superior to other options. Unlike traditional rusting with other metals, stainless steel corrosion tends to be somewhat random and highly localized. Pits (tiny holes) do have the potential of penetrating substantial thickness, and over time, the pits can cause cracks and leaks. This is why we make our shower hinges out of brass.
-
Aesthetic Appeal
Hinges are not always placed inside doors or products where they are invisible to the user. Sometimes they are placed front and center where everyone sees them, and in these cases, good aesthetics are essential to the manufacturer. Brass shower hinges are available in a huge variety of surface finishes. They offer an aesthetically pleasing appearance of high quality and it is easy to maintain a high level of shine. In addition, brass is easy to clean, making it the first choice in hinges for pharmaceutical, food, kitchens and hospital use. Its durability and low maintenance make brass more expensive but it will last much longer than stainless steel and other metal options out there.
-
Easy maintenance
Brass shower door hinges are relatively easy to maintain. They can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and occasional polishing can restore their shine. Regular maintenance can keep them looking new for a long time.
-
Smooth operation
Brass hinges provide smooth and effortless operation of shower doors. They allow the door to swing open and close smoothly, ensuring a comfortable and convenient showering experience.
-
Versatility
Brass shower door hinges come in various designs and finishes, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your bathroom decor. Whether you prefer a polished brass, antique brass, or brushed brass finish, there are options available to match your style.
-
Strength and stability
Brass is a strong and sturdy material, providing stability and support to the shower door. It can handle the weight of the door and withstand frequent use without compromising its structural integrity.
Overall, brass shower door hinges offer a combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance. They can elevate the look of your bathroom while providing reliable functionality.
