Today, many manufacturers are on the market.offering similar products. Among them are the Finnish trademark Timo, offering shower stalls for every taste and budget. Our article is devoted to products of this world famous brand.

Unfortunately, every day there are more and more fakes for products of popular manufacturers. And Timo touched this unpleasant trend.Since the trademark from Finland is very popular in the world, the fraudsters decided to profit on its name. In order not to fall for their trick, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the documents on the shower stall before buying. They should contain information about the official supplier or dealer of the company.

Not long ago, the company Timo opened production facilities in China, due to which the turnover increased significantly, and the price of booths decreased. However, this fact in no way affected the quality of products.

Other companies most often use lower-quality ABS plastic. This fact demonstrates Timo's respect for its customers.

Not everyone knows that ABS plastic can be dangerous to human health, because it can release formaldehyde during operation. Because of this, it is not recommended to use for the manufacture of pallets. Reinforced acrylic is distinguished by safety and visual appeal.

Timo uses 5mm glass for its shower stalls. It compares favorably with plexiglass or plastic in its strength and simplified process of care. During operation, its original characteristics do not change. This is due to the fact that glass has impact-resistant properties due to hardening performed during the production process. It is difficult to break, and if this happens, it breaks down into fragments that exclude the possibility of injury.

The rollers for the cab chassis are made on a metal base, since the plastic counterparts are not very reliable. And yet this feature allows you to smoothly open or close without much noise: double profiles of rollers are offered to all profiles, which also highlights the products of the Finnish company.
