Stainless Steel Hinges for Tropical Homes: Why It Matters
Indonesia's tropical climate accelerates corrosion on iron hardware. Eligo SS hinges extend cabinet life.
Why Iron Hinges Rust Quickly in Indonesia
Indonesia has 70–90% average humidity. Iron hinges with thin plating start showing corrosion at kitchen and bathroom cabinet hinges within 2–3 years.
Eligo''s Solution: The Stainless Steel Line
Eligo offers concealed hinges in Stainless Steel 304 for applications requiring high corrosion resistance.
Recommended SS304 Applications:
- Bathroom cabinets.
- Kitchen islands in coastal homes (within 5km of the sea).
- Laundry rooms with limited ventilation.
- Partially exposed outdoor kitchens.
Hinge Plating Differences
- Iron-plated Eligo hinges — for dry interiors, AC kitchens, work rooms. More economical.
- Stainless steel Eligo hinges — mandatory for humid areas. One-time investment for 10+ years of life.
How to Mix the Budget
Common practice among Eligo contractors: SS for lower kitchen and bathroom cabinets, iron for dry cabinets. This saves budget without compromising critical areas.
