Why do showers explode?

First, let’s take a look at why showers can explode.
1. The quality of the glass itself has problems or the lack of explosion-proof film.
2. Poor hardware, not smooth use. When pulling with force, the glass is unevenly stressed which leads to explosion.
3. The frame is made of waste aluminum, which is soft and easily deformed, causing the glass to explode.
4. Being hit by sharp objects during handling or use.

In addition to some of the latter factors of improper human maintenance, in fact, the main factor causing the shower explosion is the material itself.
So we should take a good look at the label when we buy the shower, instead of looking at the price first!!!

I use good aluminum in my shower.
1. Look at the hardness of the aluminum

The hardware in my shower is bar~
1. See how to adjust the wall material and wall clamps.
Brief analysis: Wall-link (wall clip) is the aluminum material that connects the shower to the wall. The tilt of the wall and the deviation of the installation will cause the glass to twist, which will cause the glass to self-destruct. Therefore, the even wall material should have the vertical and horizontal direction adjustment function, so that the aluminum material can match the distortion of the wall and installation to eliminate the distortion of the glass and avoid the self-destruct of the glass.
2. Look at the stability of the shower rod
Brief analysis: Shower ties are an important support to ensure the stability of a frameless shower, the stiffness and strength of the ties are important for the impact resistance of the shower. It is recommended not to use the retractable rod, its strength is weak.

I only use good material pulley for my shower.
