Toilet Partitions – How To Choose The Right Ones For Your Bathroom
When you’re looking to purchase toilet partitions, there are a lot of decisions to make. You must choose the right material, design, and safety features if you want your partitions to look good and last. Otherwise, you could be wasting your money and need to replace them too soon. Read on to discover everything you need to know about bathroom stalls and their accessories.
Basic Purpose of Partitions
The purpose of a toilet partition is to enclose an area and give the occupant the privacy they need. They’re also called a restroom compartment, toilet cubicle, and bathroom stall. The main things to know about so you can select the best partition and material for you are:
- Manufacturers – we have the highest-quality manufacturers that give our customers the most comprehensive selection. Some manufacturers focus on only one or two materials, others have a larger selection.
- Material Type – we offer five materials that come in different strengths, prices, and colors.
- Color & Hardware – materials come in a variety of colors and also offer accessories and mounting options.
- Mounting Styles – You’ll have four mounting options. If you have questions about which mounting option is best, contact us and we’ll help you out.
Toilet Partitions Quality and Looks
The best toilet partitions are made of the highest-quality material. Those are the ones ToiletPartitions.com offers. In making your selection, the material in the bathroom stall needs to be made specifically for that bathroom’s environment. That way they will last longer. For example, you’d have different materials in a humid bathroom in a spa vs. a high-traffic stall in an airport. Some materials are made for high-moisture and some aren’t and can rust or breakdown.
Besides durability, the next most important aspect is how the stall looks. Does it go well with the design of the bathroom? Do the stalls provide the privacy occupants need? Are the doors tall enough? And, will the doors stay looking good for years to come?
Variety and Choices in Toilet Partition Materials
When you shop for bathroom partitions, durability is a top priority. So you want to make sure your vendor offers a variety of partitions with varying durability. Each type of material has its pros and cons, ensure you are selecting the right product for you.
The five different materials are:
- Compact Laminate/Phenolic
- Powder Coat
- HPL High-Pressure Laminate
- Stainless-Steel
- HDPE/Solid Plastic
When you select the best material for your bathroom, users, and type and amount of traffic, the partitions last and last. But, if you don’t have a good selection and choose the wrong product, you’ll be wasting your money. And, nobody wants to replace stall doors or entire partition systems too soon.

Is There a Partition That Works For Everyone?
Although that would be great, unfortunately, there are too many variables. What you’d want in a busy high school that might be prone to vandalism would be different from what a luxury spa would need. Plus, some bathrooms and customers require a higher level of privacy. And, every project has its budget.
There are several things to consider when you’re getting ready to buy. These include
- Budget
- Lead time
- Traffic
- Moisture levels
- Vandalism levels
- Bathroom design
