Are you looking for bathroom partitions for a commercial restroom? Attractive bathroom partitions are an essential part to every commercial restroom. The following is a how-to material selection guide on what to look for when purchasing bathroom partitions.
Powder Coated Steel Bathroom Partitions
Overview: Powder coated steel bathroom partitions are the most frequently purchased bathroom partitions (roughly 60% of all commercial bathroom partitions). These bathroom partitions have a nice high-quality finish constructed from two sheets of galvanneal steel, formed and cemented under pressure with a honeycomb cardboard core between them. All edges are finished with interlocking steel moldings. Corners are welded and finished with stainless steel reinforcements. The rust inhibitive coated material is painted with multiple coats of epoxy-hybrid powder, applied electrostatically and baked until cured for a durable smooth powder painted finish.
Advantages:

- Great durability – Resistance to vandalism.
- No warping.

- Life expectancy: 10-20 years.
Disadvantages:
- Can dent with enough pressure.
