 If you are building a restroom in a heavy traffic area,
or one that is prone to vandalism, the most popular toilet partitions are the
Bradley Series 400 Sentinel™ Overhead
Braced toilet partitions. This
style is preferred above all others because it does not require special ceiling
construction or special flooring.
Provided the floor has the 3 inch minimum concrete base that is
standard to virtually every commercial floor, the Series 400 style will easily
mount in any new construction or remodel restroom. The anti-grip head rail that braces the
top pilaster builds restroom stalls with outstanding rigidity that can withstand
heavy usage and attempts at criminal mischief.
Overhead braced restroom partitions are available
in five different types of materials.
Each of these materials features unique economic and functional benefits
that architects should carefully weigh against budget and usage
requirements. A brief summary if
each type of material follows.
Baked
enamel is the most economical material used to construct overhead braced toilet
partitions. It is made by covering
a 22 gauge steel panel that has been primed, cleaned, and finished with
synthetic, high grade enamel. The
enamel is then oven baked, resulting in a high quality finish that is resistant
to damage. The seamless design
prevents water from penetrating the panel and rusting the metal core.
Plastic Laminate is the next most economical material used to build
overhead
braced restroom partitions. It
is constructed by sandwiching an industrial grade particle board core between
high-pressure plastic laminate that results in a highly decorative
appearance.
Solid
Core Phenolic is the mid range price point material used to construct overhead
braced toilet partitions. Phenolic
is a tough, synthetic, durable, industrial material that is pressed into a
decorative, singular piece.
Bradmar Solid Plastic is Bradley’s own patented solid plastic
material. It too is priced in the
mid range. It is a high density polyethylene plastic (HDPE) that is molded into
a 1 inch thick panel. There are 21
colors to choose from. The
advantage that Bradmar plastic offers you is color continuity throughout the
plastic mold, so the panel never requires repainting.
Stainless Steel is the premium price material used to construct overhead
braced toilet partitions. It is
manufactured from 20 gauge 300 series stainless steel. Partitions feature a seamless design
that gives the panel maximum integrity against water penetration. This keeps panels from rusting from the
inside. Stainless steel restroom
partitions are also extremely sanitary and feature a fine satin
finish.
Overhead braced restroom partitions can be installed in four
different layouts.
The
first layout is known as between-wall.
Stalls are attached in a row between two walls.
The open end layout involves attaching a row of stalls to a single
wall only.
Free
standing layouts have no compartments attached to lateral walls on either
side.
The
alcove layout involves installing a single stall in a corner with an end panel
attached to it.
Overhead braced toilet partitions can be used to create compartments
of varying size ranging from 36 inches to 60 inches. Larger stalls can be configured for ADA
compliance.
