How to choose balcony railings, porcelain gourds, cement gourds, stainless steel and marble for rural self-built houses?

Since the early 1980s, many villagers have built 2-5-storey houses in our countryside. At that time, most people used ceramic gourds on balcony guardrails for two main reasons. First of all, the meaning of ceramic gourd is better. The homonym of the gourd symbolizes the happiness of the family. Gourd in this sense naturally becomes a decorative material that rural people like.

The second reason is that ceramic gourds are beautiful, very clean and durable. Let me show you first. The ceramic gourd set in my home in the early 1990s does not fade at all. Just wipe it clean, as good as new. Moreover, as someone said, ceramic gourds can't. In the sun for a long time, high temperature will produce fine lines. The sea is windy all the year round. First of all, let's talk about the ceramic gourd that we use the most. The use of ceramic gourds in rural dwellings can also be said to have a long history. As far as I can remember, people have been using ceramic gourds since the first elimination of cement grate. Ceramic gourd can also be said to be a good choice, with beautiful shape and low cost.

But the ceramic gourd has a fatal disadvantage. In other words, the outdoor setting of rural houses is inevitable as long as it is easy to explode and freeze. I always thought it was the internal filler, but no matter how I changed the filler, I couldn't avoid this phenomenon. Cement gourd was slowly produced after stone paint appeared here. Cement gourd used in rural houses itself has no shortcomings, but its decorative materials still have shortcomings. No matter what material is used on the surface of cement products, the service life is a big defect, and fading and elimination are inevitable problems. Stainless steel handrails are durable and cheap, but there are not many shapes.

I have seen many rural houses made of stainless steel railings, but they are simple and generous, biased towards modern style, and easy to manage sanitation, but they always feel too simple and lack unique style. So there are not many people who use stainless steel as the handrail material of rural houses. Nowadays, more and more rural houses use stone gourds. Stone gourds are beautiful and durable in appearance, but the high price of stone gourds is not acceptable to everyone. If the price can be further popularized, I expect that most rural families will choose stone gourd. Generally speaking, each material has advantages and disadvantages. No matter which one we choose as the handrail material of rural houses, we should selectively ignore the shortcomings of the material itself.
