There are many specifications for aluminum gussets, including panel width, thickness, and folding height of the plate. The selection should be based on the characteristics of the bathroom at home. Aluminum gussets are divided into two types: punching and flat surfaces. Perforations on the surface can ventilate and absorb sound. A thin film cushion is placed inside the gusset. Moisture can be absorbed by the film through the perforations, so it is most suitable for kitchens and bathrooms with more moisture. In the market, 600mm×600mm microporous square plates, C150, C100 strips and 300×300, 300×600 aluminum gussets are the most widely used.
The quality of aluminum gussets is not entirely thin and thick, but the key lies in the texture of the aluminum material. Generally, aluminum gussets used in engineering have 0.8 mm or even thicker ones. Why? Because some engineering gussets are very long, in order to prevent deformation, they should be thicker and harder. On the contrary, aluminum gussets for home improvement are rarely more than 4 meters, and there is no weight on the aluminum buckle ceiling. Therefore, the aluminum gusset for home improvement, so to speak, 0.6 mm is enough. Then, why do you go to the building materials city, many salesmen tell you their 0.8mm, and some friends say that someone introduced him to the 0.88mm; that is often because their boards are not good, so they can only use the thickness to confuse people— ——It's really ruinous.
To tell everyone clearly, 0.6 mm is enough. Take the famous imported brand aluminum gusset in the market as an example. Its price is more than 300 yuan per square meter, but what is its thickness? 0.5 mm, not as good as 0.6 mm! Why, the quality of the board is not the thickness, but the base material. In fact, if the aluminum gussets you consult are famous brands, most of them are 0.6 mm in mid-range.
Regarding why some brands of 0.8 mm are not good, and some other brands use aluminum cans. Because of the quality of the aluminum itself, it is impossible for them to make the aluminum gusset very thin. Aluminum is not good, and the board cannot be thinned evenly, so they can only make it thicker.
Therefore, to identify aluminum gussets, in addition to paying attention to the surface finish, it is also necessary to observe whether the thickness of the board is uniform, and pinch the board with your hands to feel whether the elasticity and toughness are good.
