Urinal partitions & privacy screens: Discretion and design for the bathroom
Privacy screens for urinals: Functionality meets modern architecture
In public and semi-public restrooms, the installation of urinal partitions is now standard practice. They enhance user comfort by creating a private zone while simultaneously protecting surrounding walls from soiling. Whether understated elegance for an office building or vandal-resistant designs for stadiums, choosing the right material is crucial for both appearance and cleaning requirements.
Planning note for architects
When planning, pay attention to the floor clearance. Wall-mounted privacy screens without floor supports significantly simplify daily cleaning and prevent dirt from accumulating in low-lying areas.
Materials for partition walls compared
Each material has specific advantages for different applications:
- Tempered safety glass: The most elegant option for upscale hotels, restaurants, or modern offices. Available in satin (frosted) glass for optimal privacy while maintaining a light, transparent appearance.
- Stainless steel: The vandal-proof solution for high-traffic areas such as train stations or stadiums. Stainless steel is extremely robust, heat-resistant, and easy to disinfect.
- HPL & plastic: Versatile in color selection and particularly economical. These partitions are waterproof and resistant to aggressive cleaning agents, making them ideal for schools and industrial facilities.
Everything you need to know about urinal partitions
At what height should a urinal partition be mounted?
The standard height for the top edge of a privacy screen is usually between 120 cm and 140 cm from the finished floor level. The bottom edge should align with the bottom edge of the urinal bowl to create a harmonious overall appearance and to keep the floor clear for cleaning.
How are privacy screens securely attached?
Mounting is typically done using sturdy wall brackets made of stainless steel or aluminum. A load-bearing wall structure is essential (especially with lightweight walls, appropriate reinforcements are necessary). In our accessories section, you will often find suitable mounting kits for various wall types.
Are there partitions available for waterless urinals?
Yes, our partitions are system-independent. They fit perfectly with our waterless urinals from Urimat or KWC. Especially with waterless systems, a high-quality partition emphasizes the modern and clean character of the installation.
