5 Ways to Spot Rust-Free Bathroom Accessories Before You Buy

“How to choose bathroom accessories that don’t rust in 6 months?”

This is what one of our clients asked us.

So, here’s a quick guide for architects, dealers, and renovators.

Let’s face it, most people don’t look beyond price and polish when buying accessories.

But rust always starts where the eye doesn't see.

Here’s how you can spot long-term durability before placing your order:

1/ Ask for salt spray test reports.

96+ hours is a basic standard for rust resistance. If it’s not tested, it’s not ready.

2/ Avoid welded joints.

These points trap moisture and fail fastest. Look for single-cast or precision-joined designs.

3/ Go beyond chrome.

PVD finishes like Rose Gold, Graphite, and Matte Black not only upgrade the design, but they also outperform in rust resistance.

4/ Insist on base material clarity.

Always confirm if the product is made from SS 304, brass, or zinc. Mixed metals = unpredictable durability.

5/ Look at the hardware too.

The wall brackets, screws, and caps should match the quality of the main body. That’s where rust creeps in first.
