Industrial Restroom Partitions – Solid Plastic Or Solid Phenolic?
Industrial bathroom partitions are ideal for a variety of manufacturing facilities where durability is a high priority. Facilities such as oil refineries, plastics manufacturing, various machining operations, and food processing centers rely upon processes that require construction materials to offer a higher performance factor to function under harsh conditions.
Factory environments are often very hot, and airborne pollutants are common. Many factories also install showers in their restroom, creating high humidity levels in restroom interiors. Partitions made from cheaper materials will deteriorate under such conditions. Higher grade materials, such as stainless steel, will endure the conditions but lose their aesthetic appeal over time. This makes the higher price that goes with looks an added expense that offers little if any return in the long run.
Having not only sold but also installed industrial bathroom partitions throughout the United States, our company has found that solid plastic and solid phenolic are the two best options for industrial bathrooms. These materials feature an exceptional durability that holds up in even the harshest conditions. They are also very easy to clean—saving time on maintenance costs associated with cleaning. With minimal repair and long-term performance, these partitions offer industrial facilities the best return on investment.
For a smaller facility on a budget that requires only a class C Fire Rating, solid plastic industrial bathroom partitions will perform remarkably well. Impervious to moisture, they can withstand a high humidity environment without deteriorating. Solid plastic partitions are not painted. Instead, they are contiguously colored at the time of manufacture. They will not peel as cheaper, laminated partitions often will, and they will not fleck or crack as painted metal may over time.
Larger facilities that require a Class A or Class B fire rating, and have a budget for higher grade materials, should invest in solid phenolic industrial bathroom partitions. Solid phenolic is the strongest material we sell. It is extremely difficult to scratch or dent, so even if vandalized, it holds up remarkably well. It is also impervious to moisture and resists degradation caused by a number of airborne agents. Solid phenolic takes only a few minutes to clean, so it adds further value in the form of reduced maintenance costs.
In addition to longevity and low maintenance costs, many newer lines of industrial bathroom partitions feature enhanced privacy and a better overall aesthetic. New door designs, along with larger door sizes, create “no-site” or “gap-free” restroom stalls. Many models also feature concealed mounting hardware for a more seamless installation.
