Steps to buy a bathroom mirror Bathroom mirror is different from other ordinary mirrors. Toilets are generally humid, so the technical requirements for mirrors are relatively high.
1. See the manufacturing process: As far as bathroom mirror is concerned, in order to prevent the silver ions in the mirror from reacting with moisture in the air, resulting in black edges and black spots on the lens, a copper film needs to be plated on the silver film. Coating a layer of primer and topcoat on the paint film to strengthen protection can prolong the service life of the mirror;
2. Look at the style: We can choose the mirror matching according to the style of our home and bathroom, which should be consistent with the overall style. For example, elliptical mirror is more suitable for European style, square mirror is more suitable for Chinese style and so on;
3. Look at the waterproof and rust-proof function: if the ordinary mirror is placed in a humid place for a long time, it will become dim and even rust off, so it is very good to choose a high-quality waterproof and rust-proof mirror.
