What To Look For When Buying Commercial Shower Stalls

When choosing a layout for commercial shower stalls, you have to first look at 3 determining factors.

1. The number of users in your shower room
2. How much privacy each user needs
3. Design and construction of your building

The combination of these three factors will help guide your choice in shower fixture type. The choice between wall mounted or floor mounted partitions should be based primarily on the expense of running pipe through the wall compared to the floor. Once you have decided on either wall-mounted or floor mounted shower fixtures, you can design individual stalls around shower heads with whatever level of privacy is necessary.

Generally, completely private commercial shower stalls cost more to construct than open shower units. In the past, many correctional facilities, gyms, and schools installed shower fixtures without any kind of partition between individual users. The expense of building individual showers for each person was simply too great for organizations to bear. This has, however, begun changing as cheaper partitions materials become available.

Most people prefer to have some kind of privacy when taking a shower. Commercial shower stalls with open ends still separate users from one another through side panel walls. These stalls can be further modified for additional privacy by hanging a shower curtain between the two panels. This is far less expensive than hanging a door, but it works very well in creating a completely enclosed space for each individual user.

Commercial shower stalls should be constructed using either solid plastic or phenolic core partitions. However, each shower stall does not have to be rectangular or cubicle in shape. Floor mounted showers, for example, can be divided into individual enclosures by mounting panels to the fixture column. This creates four individual units which are larger at the entrance end and narrower on the end where the shower head is located.
