XPB Locker assists facility managers, contractors, and architects in the architectural design of bathroom stalls. Considerations such as material choice, partition mounting style, and stall layout are approached with practicality and cost savings in mind. Maintenance considerations for long-term savings are also factored into the equation when choosing pilasters, doors, and panels for installation. Stall design for various accessibility requirements such as ADA and TAS, along with any specific customization requests, are also noted in detail on the free design drawing we publish with every toilet partition quote.
Materials can be chosen that offer a balance of front-end savings and long-term return on investment. Obviously the more durable and vandal resistant of materials represent a considerably larger investment for facility managers. Justification for this expense must be based upon the actual risk of vandalism and the level of consistent restroom traffic. Heavy usage, even without intent to damage property, can result in wear and tear which will cause partition panels, doors, pilasters, and hardware to deteriorate more quickly. Bathroom stalls in such an environment should be made from the most resilient materials, such as stainless steel or solid plastic, that are able to withstand any attempts to vandalize them, have the resiliency to hold up under pressure, and save time on cleaning with quick, easy maintenance.
To date, solid plastic has proven the most durable material for restroom architectural design because it not only can take pressure and deliberate abuse, but it is also the most economical to repair in house.
In less trafficked environments, other partition materials, such as solid phenolic core, plastic laminate, and even baked enamel can deliver a long-term return on investment if properly cared for by users and maintenance. The decision to use one of these less expensive materials is normally made after an in-depth consultation with the client that assesses the likelihood of damage versus expected wear and tear in that particular restroom environment.
XPB Locker also helps facility managers, contractors, and architects determine the very best bathroom stall mounting styles for their particular architectural design. All partition materials can be mounted in four different ways. We have floor-mounted styles for high ceiling restrooms, and ceiling mounted styles for low ceiling rooms that need to allow cleaning crews to have full access to the interior floor of the stall. We also have floor-to-ceiling mounts and floor-mounted, overhead braced for additional strength.
Our team also assists in the actual layout of your toilet partitions. With decades of experience in restroom design, we have helped hundreds of clients configure their bathroom interiors in all the major partition configurations. Common examples include freestanding layouts, corner alcove layouts, between wall layouts, and open-ended layouts.
Additionally, we assist our clients in the customization of partition panels, doors, and pilasters for their particular architectural design. Accessibility requirements for ADA regulations are standard across the country. Additionally, other state and local regulations may require specific stall dimensions and accessorizing to make the restroom fully compliant. Customization of doors and panels for no-site privacy can also be arranged upon request.
A free design drawing is included with each quote that specifies the client’s preferred layout, bathroom stall dimensions, mounting style, and level of partition hardware customization.
