The roller is a small accessory in the shower enclosure, but it is an important part of the shower enclosure. The quality of a pulley even directly determines the quality of a shower enclosure.
The shower enclosure roller is a small wheel with grooves around it that can rotate around its axis. They are installed on the shower glass to help bear the weight of the glass on the one hand and help the glass door move better and more smoothly on the other hand.
Different types of shower enclosure rollers
In simple terms, shower enclosure rollers are divided into following types:
single up+sing down
double up+single down
double up+double down
The diameter of these rollers normally are 19mm,20mm,22mm,23mm,24mm,26mm,27mm.
In terms of material and shape, shower enclosure rollers can have the following types:
Material of shower enclosure roller:
There are many kinds of materials for shower enclosure rollers, and the common ones include the following:
- Stainless steel: The advantages of stainless steel pulleys are that they are durable, not easy to rust, and easy to clean. They are usually suitable for large shower enclosures.
- Plastic: Plastic pulleys are cheap and easy to manufacture, but their disadvantages are that they are easy to wear and tear, easy to break, and easy to be polluted by scale stains. They are usually suitable for small shower enclosures.
- Aluminum alloy: Aluminum alloy pulleys are lightweight, durable, but prone to rust if not properly maintained.
- Ceramics: Ceramic pulleys are durable, not easy to rust, and resistant to high temperatures, but their prices are higher.
- Rubber: Rubber pulleys have excellent anti-skid effects, but are susceptible to wear and have a short service life.
- Nylon: Nylon pulley is light in weight, not easy to rust, and has good wear resistance, but it is easy to melt at high temperature and has a short service life.
Generally speaking, stainless steel and aluminum alloy pulleys are more common, but the specific choice should be considered according to the size of the shower room, frequency of use, budget and other factors. - ABS plastic electroplating pulley: strong and durable, healthy and environmentally friendly, quality assurance, the roller is made of wear-resistant and durable POM material, smooth and smooth bearing, easy to use.
When the shower enclosure is purchased and returned, it is not once and for all. It is important to carry out proper maintenance work and prolong the service life of the shower enclosure.
For an ordinary family, regular cleaning and maintenance of the shower enclosure may also save the maintenance cost of the shower enclosure, especially the core of the shower enclosure-the roller. So how to maintain the core of the shower enclosure to be perfect?
The roller is the guarantee to ensure the normal operation of the shower enclosure, and it can definitely be called the core other than the tempered glass.
To a large extent, the service life of the shower enclosure is closely related to the number of times the pulley block is used. The roller block bears the gravity of the whole piece of tempered glass, so the quality must be high-quality and have a strong load-bearing capacity.
By the way, let me tell you an important point: the safety of tempered glass does not depend on the thickness. In addition to the glass of different thickness used in different shapes, it is also necessary to choose according to the quality of the roller. Everyone must pay attention to this.
How to use and maintain the pulley of the shower room
1. The push-pull shower enclosure door currently has two ways: sliding block and sliding wheel.
2. Problems that should be paid attention to in the use of rollers and sliders:
(1) It is to avoid hitting the movable door with force below, so as not to cause the movable door to fall off
(2) Pay attention to regularly clean the slide rails, pulleys, and sliders, and add lubricant (lubricating oil or lubricating wax);
(3) It is the adjustment screw for regularly adjusting the slider to ensure the effective bearing and good sliding of the slider to the dodge door.
(4) Regularly clean up the sundries in the track, otherwise it will seriously affect the daily use
The shower room roller is one of the important parts of the shower room door. It is used to support the slide rail of the sliding door and make it slide smoothly. Its material, quality and design will affect the service life and safety of the shower room. When choosing a shower room pulley, you need to pay attention to the following points:
Material: The material of the shower room pulley usually includes stainless steel, plastic and aluminum alloy. Stainless steel pulleys have excellent corrosion resistance and strength, and can withstand large loads, but the price is relatively high. Plastic pulleys are cheap, but not as durable as stainless steel pulleys, and are prone to wear and tear. Aluminum alloy pulleys are a compromise option, with good strength and corrosion resistance, at a moderate price.
Quality: The quality of the shower room pulley is directly related to the service life and safety of the shower room door. If the quality of the pulley is not good, it is easy to rust, get stuck or slide smoothly, which may cause the door leaf to fall or the slide rail to be damaged. Therefore, when purchasing pulleys, be sure to choose brands and products with good quality and good reputation.
Design: The design of the shower room pulley is also very important. Generally speaking, the pulley should have smooth sliding performance, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the degree of cooperation between the pulley and the slide rail to prevent the pulley from falling off or sliding unstable. In addition, the size and number of pulleys should also be selected according to the size and weight of the shower door.
When using the shower room, it is also necessary to pay attention to regular cleaning and maintenance of the shower room pulleys to avoid dust and grease accumulation, resulting in pulley failure or unstable sliding. If the pulley is found to be rusted or worn, it needs to be replaced or repaired in time to ensure the normal use and safety of the shower door.
In a word, the shower room pulley is an important part of the shower room door, it is very important to choose the right material, quality and design. Only by choosing high-quality pulleys can the stability and service life of the shower room door be guaranteed, and provide better protection for your shower experience.
