Bathroom Partitions for Hotels
If you have a hotel that needs renovations, you need to know how to choose hotel commercial bathroom partitions that meet your needs for aesthetic appeal, quality materials and affordable costs. The good news is that you are not alone in this endeavor. When it comes to partitions for your bathrooms, follow these tips for getting the ideal look for your property.
Choosing the Right Partition Material
One of the essential choices you will make in ordering your bathroom partitions is the material used. Not all partition materials give you the same look and performance. You will want to combine easy cleaning with a great appearance to meet the demands of both your housekeeping staff and guests.
With the partition materials we use for creating bathroom separators, you can do both. You cannot go wrong in choosing from these options, but some choices may work better with your property’s look and guest expectations than others.
1. Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a premium option that offers superior longevity and durability. Though this option tends to be the most expensive among partition material choices, it also lasts longer.
In addition to its beauty and durability, stainless steel is easy to keep clean. It resists rust, dents, corrosion, scratches and vandalism. If you want to make a long-term investment in your hotel’s restroom partitions, consider stainless steel. Though it is twice the price of powder-coated steel, you will get unmatched quality and beauty from this option.
2. Phenolic Compact Laminate
If you don’t want the look of stainless steel, consider phenolic compact laminate for your partitions. This material has a thin profile, combined with durability.
To make phenolic compact laminate, manufacturers layer paper with phenolic resin. The resin hardens to create a durable surface that prevents damage from mold, rust, corrosion and dirt. This material has such a tough surface that its longevity is second only to stainless steel.
The only downside to choosing phenolic compact laminate partitions is the limited number of color options. Most of the 12 colors available are some variations on gray or cream. If you want a more comprehensive range of colors for your bathroom, consider another material.
3. Plastic Laminate
For a budget-friendly option, consider plastic laminate. This material is the second-lowest in cost. Prices tend to only be about 10% higher for plastic laminate than powder-coated steel.
To create plastic laminate, manufacturers adhere laminate to a particleboard core. The exterior then has a metallic or other coating glued on top based on your color choices. These partitions give you a wide range of 48 color options, making it easier to customize the look of your hotel bathrooms.
The downside to these types of partitions, though, is their use of adhesive. Humidity and moisture can affect the performance of the glue holding the components together. If you have bathrooms near your hotel’s pool or for separating a toilet from the shower in a hotel room, this material will not last as long. You can use plastic laminate, however, in lobby bathrooms or other dry locations.
4. Powder-Coated Steel
The lowest-cost option is powder-coated steel. This material is not solid metal. Instead, it has a cardboard core, which lowers its weight and price. Sheets of steel cover the core. To attain the desired color, the manufacturer bakes a coating of colored powder into the metal. The 15 color choices range from red and blue to gray and black.
When it comes to resisting damage, this material gives you a moderate level of protection. If you have bathrooms accessible from the outside to the public that may experience vandalism, this is an ideal material for your partitions. However, like plastic laminate, powder-coated steel partitions do not have water resistance. You should not use these in restrooms near pools or with showers inside the bathroom.
5. Solid Plastic
Solid plastic perfectly blends water resistance, durability and a moderate price point. Due to their resistance to water damage, you can scrub the surfaces down with soap and water or spray them with a hose. Partitions made of solid plastic work well in any environment, even those near humid or wet areas such as poolside or near showers.
The downside to solid plastic partitions is their appearance. You likely do not want to use this material in areas your guests frequent. While you have 16 color options, these partitions still look like plastic, which may not fit with your hotel’s aesthetic. If you want to use these long-lasting partitions, consider using them in staff restrooms or for more practical bathrooms in your hotel’s gym or pool.
Designing Your Hotel’s Bathroom Partitions
When it comes to how to choose bathroom partitions for a hotel, you have more room configurations to deal with. Do you need partitions between the toilet and shower in each room? Will you require a set of partitions between stalls in common area restrooms? The answers to these questions will help you in getting the right look for your hotel’s bathrooms.
When it comes to your hotel’s bathroom design, you need to choose colors for the partitions in addition to the materials. Material choice will come first because some materials have limited color options, such as phenolic compact laminate.
