Metal Bar Stools


1) What is the difference between a counter stool and a bar stool?

The main difference is the height. Usually a counter stool is 24 inches to 26 inches in height, as measured from the top of the seat to the floor. They are commonly used with kitchen counters that are 36 inches in height. Bar stools are usually 30 to 32 inches in height and are suitable for counters that are 40 or 42 inches in height (as measured from the floor). Bar stools are more common for commercial applications.

2) How tall is an extra tall Metal Bar Stool?

An extra tall Metal Bar Stool would be 34 to 36 inches in height, as measured from the top of the seat to the floor.

3) Why is a thermoplastic finish so popular for outdoor Metal Bar Stools?

A thermoplastic finish has many advantages over traditional finishes such as paint. It is more durable and will give the underlying metal base a much longer life. It also resists fading in the sun and is easily cleaned when spray painted by vandals.

Security Toilets


1) Why are Detox Security Toilets mounted on the floor?

Detox Security Toilets are mounted on the floor because often times the incarcerated person is in drug withdrawal and will not use a toilet for bodily functions. Since the toilet is mounted like a drain, the cell can be more easily washed and cleaned.


2) Why are Security Toilets built to withstand 2000 and 5000 pounds of load?

Security Toilets are built withstand tremendous loads because any significant damage to the toilets would expose the internal parts which could be used as weapons. In addition, prisoners will often find or make tools such as pry bars to use and damage any fixture in the facility. Therefore, security toilets must be far stronger than humans and the improvised tools that humans can make in correctional facilities.


3) What material is used to make Security Toilets?

Usually a very thick (14 gauge) type 304 stainless steel is used in the construction of Security Toilets. The thickness of the metal gives it extreme strength and durability. Type 304 stainless steel is a superior grade of stainless steel that is more corrosion and rust resistant.

ADA Restroom Partitions


1) Is the Americans with Disabilities Act a federal building code?

Technically, the Americans with Disabilities Act is not a building code. It is a civil law with requirements that prohibit discrimination in the usage of buildings. Very simply, the law states that any new construction or altered / remodeled facility must be made accessible to all persons (including the physically disabled) according to the ADA guidelines.


2) How large should ADA compliant Restroom Partitions be?

ADA Restroom Partitions should have at least 60 inches by 60 inches of space within the toilet stall to allow sufficient space for wheelchairs.


3) When remodeling an existing restroom in a public building, what are some of the “Barrier Removal” considerations?

According to ADA guidelines, removal of structural architectural barriers should be undertaken when removal is readily achievable. Readily achievable is defined as easily accomplishable without much difficulty or expense. In addition, there are other methods of removing barriers and they include removal of furniture or vending machines, widening doors, installation of ADA Restroom Partitions, widening of toilet stalls, installation of grab bars, installation of ramps, and access to signage.
