Why Buy A Glass Shower Enclosure?

Glass Shower Enclosure is one of the bathroom accessories that comes with its Beauty in a Bathroom Setting. It is designed to contain water within the showering area, generally in a bathroom.

Apart from the decorative use of Welleader glass shower enclosure, ut first, it’s important to determine which type of bathroom your shower enclosure will be for-is it for an en-suite or the main family bathroom? There are benefits and advantages of glass shower enclosures in the bathroom. They are:

1. Low cost of Maintenance

One of the main advantages of Glass Shower Enclosure is the fact that they are very affordable to maintain. They are easy to clean and very durable. If it is well installed, it requires very few repairs.

2. Less Mildew

Compared to traditional porous shower curtains, there is no hiding place for dirt of glass shower enclosure. It is extremely mildew resistant.

Moreover, some shower enclosures feature easy-clean glass(with an ultra-thin coating on the glass surface) makes the shower door significantly easier to clean without a lot of hassle. At the point of manufacture, a special coating is applied to a single side of the glass-this helps to prevent the build-up of dirt, grime, oil, limescale, stains and streaks-which means your shower enclosure will look like new for longer.  

3. More Spacious Look

In the present scenario of smaller housing, the efficient and full use of space to manage peoples’ schedules and comfort in the family becomes more crucial. Do you have a small bathroom that you want to feel more open and bright? Compared to a bathtub with shower curtains, the glass shower enclosure does not cut a small bathroom in half visually, you won’t need to worry about the need to eliminate those harsh lines that usually create a distraction to your bathroom’s visuals. A glass shower enclosure can make your bathroom appear significantly more spacious and look brighter. Moreover, it will allow better airflow in the shower room.

4. Safe

Besides the durability and low cost maintenance we have already discussed, what’s nice today is a safe shower can also be achieved. Shower Enclosure is secure for bathroom use. Instead of tiles, the walk-in shower surface makes it completely safe from any bathroom accident on the tiles. The walk-in shower surface drains water quickly. They significantly reduce chances of any mishap in the bathroom, and it reduces water on the floor and less clean up required after your shower. Moreover, the Shower Enclosure is made from tempered heat soaked glass. Some homeowners especially with those with kids fear glass enclosures due to ease of breakage and the risk of injury can choose the glass with thickness of 6mm, 8mm or 10mm.

5. Easy Access

For young ones and older adults of the house, they will need to struggle to step over the sides of a bathtub to enter it. Curbless glass shower enclosures make stepping in and out shower room with ease because people don’t need to step over anything to get in the shower.

6. Save Time

Aren’t we too busy at work? The answer from the majority is Yes! Today, people are pressed for time, everything else takes a back seat; people simply don’t have the time to prepare a bathtub and wait for the water to fill it up. Even if you do manage a dip for 10 minutes you would be faced with the task of emptying the tub and giving it a quick cleaning spray. A quick shower with no need of cleaning the bathtub would be the preferred choice for most people.

7. Efficiency

Glass shower enclosures come with efficient utility and toiletries storage features which are designed for smooth bathing while in the shower. Some of us who may have tried modifying our bathtubs into shower baths but that needs affixing enclosures and those of us who resorted to the shower curtain might have found out that it is never going to be up to the mark, and leaves the tedious job of mopping spilled water on your bathroom floor. It is quite clear from a time saving and operational ease point of view that a cubicle is a winner over bathtubs.

8. Keep Warm when in Winter

In winter, the air can be heated up quickly in the relatively small shower enclosures, so the temperature rises faster and helps to maintain the internal temperature, which not only saves energy but also keep people warm.

9. Versatile and Customizable

No matter what the size of your bathroom is, there is a glass shower enclosure to sui your space. Now on market, there is a wide range of customizable glass shower enclosures and shower cubicles to choose from.

Knowledge of custom plastic injection molding parameters

Custom plastic injection molding is an injection-molding method. It has the advantages of fast production speed, high efficiency, automation of operation, variety of designs, simple to complex shapes, large to small sizes, precise product dimensions, easy product upgrades, and complex shapes.

Injection pressure
The injection pressure is provided by the hydraulic system of the injection system. The pressure of the hydraulic cylinder is transmitted to the plastic melt through the screw of the injection molding machine. Under the pressure of the plastic melt, the plastic melt enters the vertical flow passage, the main flow passage and the branch flow passage of the mold through the nozzle of the injection machine, and enters the mold cavity through the gate. This process is the injection molding process, or the filling process. The existence of pressure is to overcome the resistance in the flow of the melt, or conversely, the resistance in the flow needs to be offset by the pressure of the injection molding machine to ensure the smooth filling process.

During the injection molding process, the pressure at the nozzle of the injection molding machine is the highest to overcome the flow resistance throughout the melt. Thereafter, the pressure gradually decreases along the flow length toward the wavefront of the foremost end of the melt. If the cavity is well vented, the last pressure at the front of the melt is atmospheric pressure.

There are many factors that affect the melt filling pressure, which can be summarized into three categories:
Material factors, such as the type and viscosity of the plastic;
Structural factors, such as the type, number and location of the gating system, the shape of the cavity of the mold, and the thickness of the product;
Forming process elements.

Injection time
Injection time refers to the time required for the plastic melt to fill the cavity, excluding auxiliary time such as mold opening and closing. Although the injection time is short and the impact on the molding cycle is small, the adjustment of injection time has a great effect on the pressure control of the gate, runner and cavity. A reasonable injection time is helpful for the ideal filling of the melt, and it is of great significance for improving the surface quality of the product and reducing the dimensional tolerance.

The injection time is about 1/10 to 1/15 of the cooling time. This rule can be used as a basis for predicting the total molding time of plastic parts. In the mold flow analysis, the injection time in the analysis result is equal to the injection time set in the process conditions only when the melt is completely filled by the screw to fill the cavity. If the holding pressure of the screw is switched before the cavity is full, the analysis result will be greater than the process conditions.

Injection temperature
Injection temperature is an important factor affecting injection pressure. The injection molding machine barrel has 5 to 6 heating sections, and each raw material has its proper processing temperature. If the temperature is too low, the melt will not be plasticized, which will affect the quality of the molded parts, which will increase the difficulty of the process.

In the actual injection molding process, the injection temperature is often higher than the barrel temperature, which is caused by the high heat generated when the melt is cut through the injection port. When doing mold flow analysis, you can compensate for this difference by trying to measure the temperature during melt-to-air injection molding, or including the nozzle during modeling.

Holding pressure and time
Near the end of the injection molding process, the screw stopped rotating, but only advanced forward. At this time, the injection molding entered the pressure holding stage. During the dwelling process, the nozzle of the injection molding machine continuously feeds the cavity to fill the volume vacated by the shrinkage of the part.

Back pressure
Back pressure refers to the pressure to be overcome when the screw is reversed and backed up for storage. The use of high back pressure is conducive to the dispersion of the pigment and the melting of the plastic, but at the same time, it extends the screw retraction time, reduces the length of the plastic fiber, and increases the pressure of the injection molding machine. Therefore, the back pressure should be lower, generally not more than 20% of the injection pressure.

When custom plastic injection molding foam, the back pressure should be higher than the pressure formed by the gas, otherwise the screw will be pushed out of the barrel. Some injection molding machines can be programmed with back pressure to compensate for the reduction in screw length during melting, which reduces the input heat and reduces the temperature.
