How Thick Are Bathroom Stall Walls?

Bathroom stall walls vary in thickness from 1/2 to 1 inch, depending on what material they’re made of. The density of the restroom wall matters to your customers, as a solid and sturdy partition will make them feel safe and help form a quality impression of your business. Partition thickness will also matter to you as a business owner, contributing to the image of your business and affecting the cost of bathroom renovations.

Thicknesses of Our Bathroom Stall Wall Material

One Point Partitions has many options for restroom stall materials, and the thicknesses for each one vary. The measurements follow:

  • Powder-coated steel wall: 1 inch
  • Solid plastic wall: 1 inch
  • Laminate wall: 1 inch
  • Phenolic wall: 1/2 inch
  • Stainless steel wall: 1 inch

Why Do Restroom Stall Partition Thicknesses Vary?

Thicknesses in different partition materials vary because the structures are built in different ways. The core material and outer shell are unique to each bathroom wall type, so the thickness is also unique. Here’s what the manufacturing process entails for each partition material:

  • Powder-coated steel: Powder-coated steel partitions are made of 22-gauge galvanized steel bonded to a honeycomb cardboard core.
  • Solid plastic: Solid plastic walls are made with only high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
  • Laminate: Laminate material consists of a laminate shell surrounding a particle board core.
  • Phenolic: Phenolic partitions consist of fiber sheets hardened by a resin treatment.
  • Stainless steel: Stainless steel walls are made of a honeycomb core surrounded by stainless steel panels.

The build of the restroom partition — and the resulting thickness — is an important factor to consider when you’re deciding which material you want in your bathroom. Each option has different ratings for durability, moisture protection and related qualities.

Other Restroom Stall Dimensions

Because each partition material has a different thickness, other parts of the stall vary in dimension to compensate for the chosen material’s size and weight. Like the stall walls, the pilasters for these partitions also differ in thickness from 3/4 inch to 1 1/4 inch. The hardware used to fasten the partition to the door and wall can be as large as 8 inches or as small as 2 1/8 inches.
