Materials

Steel - Baked Enamel or Powder Coated

Baked Enamel or Powder Coated bathroom partitions are the most economical material available. This material is available in a wide variety of colors and mounting styles including floor mounted overhead-braced, floor braced, ceiling hung, and floor to ceiling hung. We offer 48 Hour Shipping on Bradley Mills Baked Enamel Toilet Partitions in many popular colors.

 

All of Bradley’s panels and pilasters are constructed out of 25% Recycled, 22 gauge galvannealed Steel. The surfaces are cleaned and primed at the factory before being finished with a Greenguard certified, low VOC enamel finish. Finally the products are oven baked to provide for a beautiful finish. Bradley’s Permaseal design on the panel and pilaster corners, provide a patented protection from moisture entering the inside of the material.

 

Baked enamel partitions are great for budget conscious customers with low moisture restrooms. This material provides for moderate protection from vandalism, so in most cases it’s not the best choice for applications with a potential for vandalism. Office buildings, restaurants, and retail stores are a few examples of customer types who commonly install baked enamel steel restroom dividers in their facilities.

Plastic Laminate

 Plastic Laminate Toilet Partitions, or P-LAM as it’s commonly known in the industry, provide for an economical choice with virtually an unlimited option of colors. Laminate surfaces have been used in homes and business for many years. Most are familiar with them as a counter top or furniture finish, however Plastic Laminate also makes for a versatile restroom divider material. Like the Baked Enamel Steel materials, P-LAM is also available in the following mounting styles; floor mounted overhead-braced, floor braced, ceiling hung, and floor to ceiling hung. We offer 48 Hour Shipping on Bradley Mills Plastic Laminate Toilet Partitions in 10 popular colors ranging from black to white to gray.

The adhesives used in manufacturing process are free of added Urea-Formaldehyde Resins and are low VOC. All panels, pilasters and privacy screens are Greenguard certified.

 

Plastic Laminate is another great material for budget conscious customers. While the material is corrosion resistant, it is not moisture resistant and is not recommended for pools, health clubs, or any other high moisture environments. Facilities with graffiti and vandalism problems should not choose this material as it can be scratched, carved, and etched into. Plastic Laminate is the perfect choice for an office building, doctors office, or restaurant that desires a custom but affordable look.

Solid HDPE Plastic

Solid HDPE Plastic restroom dividers offer one of the best solutions for high traffic and moist environments. Solid Plastic Bathroom Partitions are impervious to moisture; meaning that they won’t absorb odors, delaminate, rust, or mildew.

They are best suited for health clubs, recreation centers, pools, stadiums, schools, and other high traffic restrooms.

Stainless Steel
