9 must-see points when purchasing aluminum gussets

In home decoration, the bathroom equipped with aluminum gusset ceiling gives a clean, refreshing, generous and elegant feeling with a bright vision. Aluminum gussets are made of high-grade aluminum alloy as the main material. They have a flat surface and clear edges. They have the advantages of excellent flame retardancy, anti-corrosion, and moisture resistance. Since the entire project is made of all metal, it is superior to PVC materials and plastic steel materials in terms of service life and hugability. So how should we choose?

1. Looking at the thickness, many consumers think that the thicker the aluminum gusset plate, the better. This is a misunderstanding among many consumers. In fact, the thickness of household aluminum gussets can reach 0.6 mm. You can read the specifications of the product when purchasing. Information such as length and thickness are clearly visible on the product description. Furthermore, the thickness of the aluminum gusset plate can be judged by the naked eye and feel.

2. Observe whether the exposed aluminum material such as the cross section of the aluminum gusset plate is finely crystallized, gray, dark and impurities.

3. Distinguish the material to identify the quality of the aluminum gusset plate. In addition to observing whether the thickness of the plate is uniform and whether the board surface is smooth, you also need to look at the elasticity and toughness of the aluminum gusset plate. This can be done by selecting a template and bending it by hand. Aluminum materials with good texture will rebound to a certain extent after being bent.

4. It is best to choose strong and durable galvanized light steel keels for the aluminum gusset plate ceiling. The surface treatment of the keels is particularly important. The galvanizing process of the light steel keels directly affects its moisture resistance. After being galvanized, the light steel keels of better quality have a snowflake-like surface. When purchasing a suspended ceiling, pay attention to whether the keel has a snowflake-like galvanized surface. If the snowflake pattern is clear, the feel is hard, and the gaps are small, it is a keel of better quality.

5. Use your fingers to hit the aluminum gusset plate. The metal sound of the aluminum gusset plate with better material is more obvious and crisp, while the metal sound of the aluminum gusset plate with poor material is dull and not obvious.

6. The branded aluminum gussets are semi-finished products and require professional installation before they can be used. When installing or maintaining ceilings and electrical appliances in the kitchen and bathroom, installers are required to cut and match the aluminum gusset plates according to the shape of the electrical appliances.

7. Don’t think that the lower the price, the better. You get what you pay for. As the saying goes, “You can only buy wrong, not sell wrong.” Generally speaking, if the price is less than 100 yuan, it can basically be judged to be recycled aluminum. Even quite a few brands, forced by the pressure of market competition, do not hesitate to reduce costs and use recycled aluminum or OEM sales. Of course, we must also beware of unscrupulous merchants who pass off inferior products, inflate retail prices, and then give consumers larger discounts. Many consumers can easily be fooled like this.

8. Pay attention to the quality of services and auxiliary materials, and it is very important to understand the charging standards, because some operators in the market do not make any promises on follow-up services and quality even if they take in money.

9. The surface treatment of aluminum gussets can be divided into spraying, roller coating, film coating and other forms. Among them, the spray-coated board has shortcomings such as short service life and prone to color difference; the surface of the roll-coated board is uniform and smooth, without leakage, shrinkage, scratches, peeling, etc.; the surface of the coated board is a layer of PVC film, which has firm surface adhesion. , no wrinkles, scratches, falling off, missing patches, etc.

When purchasing, you can judge whether the surface of the aluminum gusset plate is smooth and delicate by the feel. In addition, you should be more careful when purchasing coated panels. Due to the high process requirements of coated panels, if the film is applied directly to the aluminum gusset board manually, the surface layer will easily fall off once the temperature changes too much.

Aluminum gusset ceilings have many advantages that cannot be matched by other materials. Especially when used in bathrooms and kitchens, they cannot be replaced by other materials. Therefore, you must choose high-quality aluminum gussets to take advantage of them.
