All About Urinal Baffles

In places and public institutions where there is a large flow of people, it is mandatory (and this is provided by law) to equip public bathrooms. And if special booths are installed in women's toilets, urinals are mounted in men's toilets, which are separated from each other by partitions. It is about what they are, what material they are made of, how to choose and install a structure - everything about urinal partitions in this article.

Urinal partitions are an optional part of a men's toilet, but today most companies that design and equip public bathrooms advise installing them. The presence of urinal partitions increases the level of comfort and convenience when visiting the common room. This design has a number of advantages and features, among which the following should be noted:

• multifunctionality;
• ease of installation;
• a wide selection and assortment of both colors and materials from which the product is made;
• availability;
• price.

Of course, in addition to the advantages, this design has several disadvantages, namely:

• urinal partitions need constant and special care - you need to choose high-quality detergents, preferably hypoallergenic and safe;
• despite the excellent technical parameters, such structures are not highly resistant to mechanical damage.

A sanitary partition for bathrooms is not just a dividing structure, but a necessary thing, so it is advisable to install it. Its main function is to visually divide space and ensure individuality and privacy. It makes the stay comfortable for each visitor to the toilet, creates the impression of privacy, makes it possible to concentrate on one process.

All urinal partitions installed in men's toilets have one purpose, but they may differ in shape, color, size, material from which they were made and installation features. The form of the separating structure can be as follows:

• rectangular;
• with a beveled one corner;
• trapezoidal;
• with rounded corners;
• any other geometric shape.

As for the dimensions, there are no general accepted rules according to which structures should be manufactured. But, taking into account the experience of generations and the standard sizes of toilets, specialists in the installation and manufacture of partitions came to the conclusion that dimensions should be as follows:

• height - from 110 to 210 cm;
• depth - from 40 to 60 cm;
• the gap from the floor is from 15 to 35 cm;
• width - not less than 70 cm;
• thickness - depends on the material, but it is accepted that this parameter should vary from 6 to 20 mm.

The most important criterion for distinguishing urinal partitions is the material from which they are made.

• Polycarbonate. It is a transparent polymer plastic, which is characterized by strength, mechanical resistance and durability.
• Chipboard Is one of the most popular materials. It is preferred in most cases because of its cheapness.But there are other advantages, for example, ease and speed of installation, mobility, the ability to replace a damaged part.
• Glass. Glass partitions are frameless dividing structures that are characterized by excellent appearance and ease of maintenance. The construction is quite robust and has excellent physical and mechanical properties.
• HPL plastic... This material belongs to the group of plastics, only it is able to withstand very high pressure, and its technical indicators are quite high. Urinal partitions made of this type of material are characterized by durability, ease of installation, and simple maintenance.

Today it is not at all difficult to choose and buy a separating structure for a men's toilet. They are manufactured and sold by many companies that produce plumbing equipment and fittings. When choosing a urinal partition, the following nuances must be considered:

• overall dimensions of the product;
• material;
• shape and color scheme;
• the possibility of using additional accessories - handles, hinges, legs, hooks;
• cost and manufacturer.

If a suitable model was never found, it doesn't matter either: you can order the manufacture of a structure to order. But such a service will not be cheap, because not only engineers, fitters, but also designers will work on the project. As for the installation, you can do it yourself, but provided that you have experience, certain knowledge, the ability to own the tool and the inventory itself. But it is still better if a specialist is involved in the installation process.
