At LaForce, our specialties team supplies products for new commercial buildings and renovations in various facilities such as schools, hospitals, office buildings, etc. One of the leading trends in commercial toilet partitions (bathroom stalls) is more privacy. Today, more than 50% of orders we receive request additional privacy features, compared to only 10% in prior years.
LaForce offers products ranging from basic bathroom stalls for any budget to high-end ones. The material, color, and privacy options are limitless!
Some products that are commonly used for our bathroom stalls include:
Continuous Hinges: This product minimizes the strip of space on the hinge side between the door panel and the stall pilaster (column or vertical support attached to the door/panels).
Continuous Brackets: This product partially blocks the line of sight between the stall pilaster/panel and the wall and can usually cover existing hardware holes.
Sight Strips for Doors: These are made of aluminum and placed on the strike side of the restroom stall door. They can enhance stall privacy and minimize the door gap.
Overlapping Door Panels: Door panels and partitions can be built to overlap, eliminating the line of sight and providing a sleek, unobtrusive look.
Extra Tall Door Panels and Divider Panels: For added seclusion, restroom stalls can be built with extra tall door panels and divider panels that reach higher and lower to the ground. This upgrade is only feasible on ADA stalls if the ADA regulations for length and width are maintained. Learn more about ADA requirements here.
Many of our product partners offer multiple solutions to address privacy issues, including taller doors, panels installed closer to the floor, and concealing all gaps/sightlines within a single stall.
Here are the four most common ways to install bathroom partitions:
Floor Mounted with Overhead Brace: This configuration is very stable and the most popular. It does not require floor or ceiling construction, making it suitable for new or existing buildings.
Floor Anchored with No Overhead Brace: No overhead bracing allows for clean aesthetic lines, but they must be anchored with lead expansion shields in concrete. This style can be installed just about anywhere and is very common.
Ceiling Hung: This configuration is installed utilizing steel supports above the finished ceiling, allowing no installation onto the floor. This style has a modern appearance and is ideal for maintenance and cleaning because there is no contact with the floor.
Floor to Ceiling: This style of partition is anchored onto the floor and the ceiling. It is the most stable installation and is considered the best option for a heavy-duty application.
