Don’t be fooled by appearance! Hardware materials hide secrets, choose the right one and save a house!
Material is th
e hard truth!
Material contempt chain:
– Zinc alloy: light and easy to oxidize, fades in minutes (Fast fashion favorite)
– Copper: The king of texture! The more you use it, the more retro luster it has, but the price is high (evergreen second-hand bag)
– Stainless steel: low-key and anti-manufacturing! Corrosion-resistant leader, cost-effective choice (niche designer brand)
Choose with your eyes closed to avoid thunder:
1 Weigh the weight: heavy materials are more solid, say no to light zinc alloys!
2 Listen to the sound: crisp knocking sound = stainless steel/copper, muffled sound = zinc alloy (tested and effective!)
3 Look at the price: bags under 100 yuan with stainless steel? Fake! The material is proportional to the price!
Lazy people copy homework
Limited budget → choose stainless steel zipper + copper buckle combination
Seeking quality → buy all-copper hardware without hesitation (but oil it regularly for maintenance!)
