Why Should I Choose Solid Plastic Toilet Partitions Over Stainless Steel?

Choosing between solid plastic toilet partitions and stainless steel toilet partitions depends on various factors, including your specific needs, budget, and preferences. Both materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to consider these factors before making a decision.

How do solid plastic toilet partitions compare to stainless steel toilet partitions?

  • Durability: Solid plastic toilet partitions are very durable and can withstand a lot of abuse. They are less likely to dent, scratch, or warp than stainless steel toilet partitions, which makes them a good choice for high-traffic areas.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Solid plastic toilet partitions are resistant to water, humidity, rust and corrosion, making them a better choice for restrooms in full water contact and high humidity areas. Stainless steel toilet partitions will rust and therefore are not recommended for high humidity or high moisture environments. 
  • Low Maintenance: Solid plastic toilet partitions are lower maintenance as they don’t show fingerprints or smudges as readily as stainless steel, so they require less frequent cleaning of the partition surfaces. This can lead to lower maintenance costs over time.
  • Cost-effective: Solid plastic toilet partitions are typically more cost-effective than stainless steel partitions. This is because they are made from a less expensive material and require less labor to install. The durability and lower maintenance requirements also make solid plastic toilet partitions a more cost-effective option than stainless steel.

Corrosion Resistance                                     Resistant to corrosion, waterproof                                      Not resistant to corrosion

Maintenance Requirements                       Lower maintenance                                                                Higher maintenance

Cost-Effectiveness                                         More cost-effective, less expensive                                      Less cost-effective, more expensive

Aesthetic Appeal                                           Less high-end                                                                            High-end, modern and sleek

 

Ultimately, the choice between solid plastic toilet partitions and stainless steel toilet partitions depends on your priorities. If durability, corrosion resistance, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness are your main concerns, then solid plastic might be a better option. If you value high-end aesthetics, then stainless steel may be more suitable for your restroom. In order to choose the correct toilet partition material for your commercial restroom, consider your specific needs and priorities to determine which material best aligns with your requirements and budget.
