The hardness of aluminum can be tested by pressing the aluminum frame by hand. Aluminum with a hardness of 13 degrees or more is difficult for an adult to deform it by pressing it by hand.

How to design a good shower door?
Many details should be paid attention when designing and decorating your shower rooms.
1.The glass partition has good permeability, but the size should be larger than 800mm*900mm. If it is too small, it will not stretch and feel bored. If there is a baby, the mother will not be able to help the baby take a bath. If the smallest area is not possible, it is recommended to replace it with a shower curtain.
