Bathroom Partition Materials | What Is The Difference?

Bathroom partition materials vary in features and price. Many options are available for both cost sensitive customers and demanding, high-end projects. There are options for all situations. When selecting, consider: the installation environment, required durability, desired aesthetics, and the project budget. Before choosing the perfect bathroom partition materials, consider these four key factors:

• Environment
• Durability
• Aesthetics
• Price

Baked Enamel / Powder Coated

Steel Powder Coated / Baked Enamel compartment systems are economical and long lasting. Our Baked enamel system provides the toughest paint finish in the industry as measured by ASTM standards for salt spray, humidity, and impact. Rounded stile and door edges provide a soft relief and prevent edge chipping. This popular material is constructed with a panel of honeycomb cardboard covered by a thick sheet of metal and completed with powder coated paint finish. A colored powder is applied to the steel and then run through an oven, where the powder is baked to a tough and durable finish.

Plastic Laminate

Plastic Laminate compartment systems are a most popular choice, especially when the design requires flexibility, aesthetics, and economy. Plastic Laminate components utilize NEMA GP-50 high-pressure laminate and a substrate of industrial grade 45 lb density particleboard. Bonding the edges before face laminate promotes water runoff and inhibits deterioration. We feature a full range of designer colors, patterns, and finishes. Heavy-duty cast chrome plated non-ferrous hinges and brackets are standard.

Solid Phenolic

Solid Phenolic compartment systems provide strength, durability, color, finish selection, and design flexibility. Phenolic partitions are ideal for high traffic public buildings, schools, and institutional facilities. A virtually indestructible core makes it suitable for wet areas.

Solid Plastic

Solid plastic high-density polyethylene compartment systems utilize the latest polymer resin technology. Virtually maintenance free, solid plastic partitions are recommended for parks, schools, recreational facilities and high traffic or high humidity locations.

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel compartment systems are considered the finest in the industry and the ultimate solution for installations where appearance and strength are prime considerations. Soft brushed satin, stainless steel material has soft rounded door and stile edges. Our superior design imparts a visual beauty unmatched by any other system. Stainless Steel partitions are ideal for high humidity applications where rust and corrosion are potential concerns.
