Material

For the manufacture of galoshes, materials are used that are no different from the raw materials from which cabinet furniture is made:

• Metal. It is not subject to deformation and getting wet, and due to processing with the help of anti-corrosion compounds, does not imply the appearance of rust. Iron structures are highly durable and can have a design in the form of forged elements, which undoubtedly become the main interior decoration.
• Plastic It is characterized by lightness, mobility and easy care, is moisture resistant and has an affordable cost. However, plastic does not allow air to pass through, so it is better to choose such models as open type.
• Made of wood.Aesthetic, eco-friendly and versatile designs from the array, have a fairly expensive price, which is fully justified by the long service life.
• Glass. For its manufacture, a particularly durable glass is used, which has a large weight. Such galoshes differ in their original appearance, but are considered not very practical, since dirt quickly appears on the glass surface.
• Chipboard. It is a fairly inexpensive option that is not afraid of moisture and can have a different color scheme, favorably complementing any hallway.
