As premises have opened back up post-lockdown, offices, shopping centres, hotels and restaurants have had to take measures to ensure social distancing. Of course, the washroom is no exception, and everything from red-tape marking urinals and wash basins out of order, to one-in-one-out systems have been employed. However, there’s one method of tackling social distancing that has had some strong results.
Partitions have been introduced in many areas of modern businesses. From screens at checkouts in the supermarket, to cubicle booths around desks, these dividers now offer much more than privacy.
Urinals dividers until now have mainly been small discreet fixtures that allow users a certain level of modesty. However, with no division at head level, facilities managers and caretakers have been left having to cordon off every other urinal in order to maintain user distance.
Full height urinal screens
In light of COVID-19, we have developed a range of bespoke solid grade laminate (SGL) urinal dividers. These slim partitions run full height, giving a screen between users. Delivering a clean, executive finish, these full height dividers create a booth-like environment that is easy to clean and sanitise.
SGL is one of the most durable and easy to clean materials available in the commercial wash space. Completely impervious to water, these dividers will never swell or weaken from ingress water and come with an anti-microbial surface. Manufactured from Polyrey laminates, SGL urinal dividers come in a huge range of colours and finishes including wood grain effects. This can tie seamlessly into your IPS DUCT set panels for a smart, modern and contemporary aesthetic.
A floor to ceiling support post is installed to carry the panel, which can be custom cut along with the divider panel to fit your exacting wash space, regardless of building dimensions. The installation of these screens is simple and fast, allowing you to open up all your urinals on-site, while still helping to mitigate the risk of contamination.
At a time when businesses are looking at ways to bring employees and customers back into their premises safely, the decision to install full height SGL urinal dividers is a strong one.
