The Needs of School Bathrooms
School bathrooms are crucial spots to get right for the comfort of students and staff alike. Like any restroom they must offer privacy but also fit within the budget of the buyer. So what sets schools apart from other public restrooms?
- How many school stalls do you need? With the average school hovering around 527 students, the demand for stalls is sky-high. The catch? More stalls usually means a stretched budget. Itโs a classic balancing act. Having enough bathroom stalls for students and staff is crucial when building a school but because of the number of stalls the budget may be more limited.
- Do school stalls need to be durable? All bathrooms experience some amount of wear and tear but school bathrooms often sustain a larger amount. Much of this damage is unintentional; backpacks and other items can hit against the stalls denting or scratching them. However, students are also known for intentionally leaving messages and drawings on partition walls. Having stalls that are graffiti and damage resistant is key to the longevity of bathroom partitions in schools.
- Do you need special stalls for locker rooms? Most school bathrooms wonโt have a lot of moisture in the air. However, in school locker rooms, showers tend to give off a lot of steam and moisture. Selecting a moisture resistant stall is crucial or the bathroomโs partitions will quickly warp and need to be replaced. Phenolic and Solid Plastic are both moisture resistant materials. However, High Pressure Laminate is not moisture resistant and should not be chosen for a locker room.
