Church restrooms are high traffic areas that require durable fixtures.  Because cleaning crews may not be present every day, materials must be highly sanitary as well.  In many churches too, vandal resistance is an important attribute because all sorts of people visit the building. 

In some cases, churches are also the targets of robberies and should be protected as much as possible against this very unfortunate possibility.

Some of the most important commercial bathroom fixtures to consider for a church restroom are toilet partitions.  These fixtures represent a considerable investment and should be thoughtfully chosen.  The size of the restroom and the amount of traffic that it witnesses should be factored into the decision on what type of partition to invest in. 

If a church is very small, and located in a rural area, it will not see a great deal of traffic.  So long as the partition can be wiped down clean, it does not have to have any special features.  The most affordable material for this purpose is baked enamel.  It is not the most durable material, but for a smaller building with only a small congregation, it is ideal for a limited budget.

Most of the mid-sized churches in suburban areas and small towns, however, see more traffic than this.  They need something that can withstand a great deal of usage.  They also need something that is moisture resistant and easy to clean.  Solid plastic meets these requirements. 

In large urban mega-churches, thousands of people pass through the restroom every year.  Many of these people are not even coming to church, but rather to special programs, events, and concerts.  These church restrooms can seem more like airport restrooms at some times, so partitions here need the same level of vandal resistance and durability.

Hand dryers are recommended in church reasons for several reasons.  To begin with, paper towel waste on the floor is a sanitation issue.  There is never a guarantee that a trashcan will not overflow.  Even a smaller church will have children in it, too, that like to play with paper towels and throw them on the floor. 

Unless a church is very big, it may not have a cleaning crew to come by every day to collect this litter.  Anyone who sees it will find the odor and the mess offensive.  This makes a bad impression on visitors. 

Even if all the paper towels stay in the trash can and never end up on the floor, they are still an enormous cost.  It is a waste of money for a large church, and it is a strain on the budget of a smaller church.  , Using hand dryers eliminates all of the problems associated with paper towels.  Dryers are just as capable as drying hands as paper is, and most are now energy efficient as well. 

Because most church restrooms are high traffic areas, bathroom mirrors should be easy to clean, durable, and warranted for many years.  Ideally, mirrors should be framed or backed with stainless steel to prevent vandalism, accidental breakage, and peeling of reflective material. 

Grab bars should be installed in all restroom stalls.  This will help elderly persons and handicapped persons safely maneuver in stalls.  Multiple model styles exist that are all ADA compliant, and which can be mounted on stall walls in a number of ways.   

Church restrooms should also have baby changing stations to accommodate couples with small infants.  Churches can choose between plastic, antimicrobial, and full-table changing stations.
