What is the most dangerous place in the family? That's right, it's the bathroom. To be more specific, it's the shower room in the bathroom. Taking a shower is a very dangerous thing for people with poor health.
Since that's the case, we need to find ways to increase the safety of the shower room and provide protection for our families. I don't understand medical plans that are too specialized, and most families don't need them either. For ordinary people, achieving the following four points can greatly improve the safety of shower rooms.

What glass is safe in a shower room? Have you noticed these three safety issues?
一、 Many people mention glass and worry that it may shatter and prick people. But for shower rooms, the glass used is tempered glass, even if it breaks, it won't splash like ordinary flat glass. The glass of the shower room, more importantly, has the following two points:
1. Tempered glass is quite special and requires professional national testing qualifications to be sold and used. So when making a purchase, we need to pay attention to the "CCC" certification mark printed on the glass.
2. The thickness of the glass should not be too thin. Although tempered glass cannot pierce people after breaking, we also do not want it to shatter easily with just one collision. The thickness of flat glass cannot be less than 4mm, and the thickness of curved glass cannot be less than 6mm. At the same time, too thick glass should not be selected, as the thicker the glass, the heavier it will be, and if the hardware cannot support it, it will collapse. After breaking, it won't prick people, but if it falls down, it will definitely hit people. No matter what shape of glass it is, its thickness cannot exceed 10mm.
二、 For normal people, the only function of a door handle is to open and close doors. But for elderly, young, sick, disabled and pregnant people, the door handle is also a handrail. The space inside the shower room is relatively small, and besides tiles, it is also made of glass, which is very smooth. Many times we need someone to help us, not to mention special groups, even normal people may occasionally have this need. So when you look at those shower rooms on the market, many of them have handles made into long strips. The long strip shower door handle can not only be pushed and pulled, but also serve as an armrest. And it's best to make this handle horizontal for easier lifting. If you really like other handles, you can use horizontal long handles inside the shower room and other handles outside the shower room.
三、 Many families make a circle of drainage channels at the edge of the floor to prevent slipping in the shower room. This approach is great for ordinary people, but if there are special groups in the family, it is recommended to give up this design as soon as possible. Those people can only take a step of 10cm, and the ground water barrier at the entrance of the shower room itself is a threat. Now a groove has been made behind the water barrier, isn't it obvious that it's going to make people twist their feet? Of course, it does not mean that without a drainage channel, there is no need to pay attention to the anti slip of the ground. We should not only pay attention to anti slip, but also pay attention to the anti slip of the floor outside the shower room door. But anti slip is not only limited to the method of pulling grooves, choosing high-quality anti slip tiles can also achieve the purpose of anti slip. At the same time, water absorbing foot pads should be placed outside the shower room door to ensure the dryness of the dry area floor and reduce the slippery range. Finally, a reminder: When placing the foot pad, it must be firmly secured to prevent accidents such as slipping after stepping on it.
