Top four choices of materials for bathroom partitions
The type of bathroom partition required to spruce up the common bathrooms depends on the amount of traffic that would use the bathroom and the setting of the building. Some of the commonly available material for bathroom partitions are:
Metal – Powdered steel partitions : These are not only a common option but also an economic choice. These partitions are basically metal sheets on honeycomb cardboards that have been powder coated with steel and then baked to create durability.
Plastic Laminate Toilet Partitions: The plastic laminate bathroom partitions are sheets of metal glued with laminate sheets. While this material of bathroom partitions costs 10% higher than the powdered steel ones, the popularity of this model of bathroom partitions is due to the variety of colors that it is available in. Although many manufacturers offer a 1-year warranty on these partitions, this material is not recommended for areas where there is a high level of humidity or moisture such as pool bathrooms, water parks, etc. They should also be installed in areas that are not close to open shower cubicles.
Solid plastic toilet partitions: The pricing of these bathroom partitions cost about 65%-75% higher than the powdered steel and plastic laminate models due to their durability and resistant features. These partitions are composed of about 1” thick plastic panels and are the best choices for heavy traffic restrooms like those of public transportation facilities, schools, public offices, etc. They are apt for any type of environment and some manufacturers offer about 10-15 years of warranty.
Stainless steel toilet partitions: These are highly costly due to their heavy build and complex to install. But once they are installed, the stainless steel bathroom partitions emit a sophisticated and urban look. They are also available in a variety of textures and finishes and stay scratch resistant for a long duration. They are also easy to clean with a simple wipe-down.
