Dur-A-Tex toilet partitions are constructed from galvanized steel that is subjected to a two-coat paint process. The first coat is a primer that helps to protect the metal from rust and corrosion. The second coat is a clear coat of high gloss finish that provides extra durability, strength and an easy-to-clean finish.
The diamond texture of Dur-A-Tex toilet partitions is created by applying a stamp with the diamond shape mold to the entire sheet of galvanized steel. This gives the metal surface its small and close together ridges and divots which create a fine and grippy texture. The surface texture of Dur-A-Tex toilet partitions provides a non-slip grip and a resistance to graffiti and scratches.
What are the typical steps for constructing Dur-A-Tex toilet partitions?
- Steel Sheet Formation: The galvanized steel material is cut to the desired size and shape for the individual toilet partition components, such as doors, panels, and pilasters.
- Sheets are Stamped with Diamond Shaped Mold: The steel sheets are then stamped all over with the diamond shaped mold which provides the surfaces with their diamond texture.
- Edge Banding: To protect the exposed edges of the steel sheets and to provide a finished appearance, edge banding is applied. Edge banding is often made of the same galvanized steel material as the toilet partition sheets.
- Hardware Installation: Hinges, latches, door handles, and other necessary hardware are installed on the toilet partition components according to the design and specifications.
Dur-A-Tex toilet partitions are known for their durability, impact resistance, graffiti resistance and ease of maintenance. They are often chosen for use in high-traffic commercial restrooms given durability is a priority. Additionally, the galvanized steel material is easy to clean and does not require repainting or refinishing, making it a cost-effective choice over the long term.
