Toilet cubicles are private, enclosed spaces within a public restroom for individuals to use for personal hygiene. They consist of a door, walls, and a toilet seat. The purpose of toilet cubicles is to provide privacy, security, and comfort to users while they attend to their personal needs. Toilet cubicles come in various sizes, materials, and styles to accommodate different needs and preferences.
Materials: Toilet cubicles are usually made of laminate, solid surface, or compact laminate materials. Laminate is a popular choice because it is cost-effective, easy to clean, and durable. Solid surface materials such as Corian or Staron offer a seamless look and are ideal for high-end restrooms. Compact laminate is a popular choice for heavy-duty restrooms because it is resistant to water, moisture and impact.
Styles: Toilet cubicles come in a variety of styles to match the décor of a restroom. Some popular styles include:
-
Full-height cubicles: These cubicles have walls that reach the ceiling and provide maximum privacy and security.
-
Partition cubicles: These cubicles have partial walls and are ideal for restrooms with limited space.
-
Floor-mounted cubicles: These cubicles have walls that attach directly to the floor, offering a more secure and stable installation.
-
Ceiling-hung cubicles: These cubicles are suspended from the ceiling and are ideal for restrooms with limited floor space.
Features: Toilet cubicles can be equipped with various features to enhance the user experience, such as:
-
Privacy latches: These secure the door and prevent accidental opening.
-
Grab bars: These provide support and stability for users with mobility issues.
-
Ventilation: Some toilet cubicles have built-in ventilation systems to promote air circulation and minimize unpleasant odors.
-
Coat hooks: These provide a place for users to hang their clothing while using the toilet.
-
Mirrors: Some toilet cubicles have mirrors for users to check their appearance before leaving the restroom.
Maintenance: Toilet cubicles require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them in good condition.
This includes cleaning the surfaces, tightening loose screws, and replacing damaged or worn-out components. Toilet cubicles can be cleaned using mild soap and water, or with specialized cleaning products designed for the specific material.
In conclusion, toilet cubicles are essential components of public restrooms, providing privacy, security, and comfort to users. With a variety of materials, styles, and features to choose from, there is a toilet cubicle to meet the needs of any public restroom. Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure that toilet cubicles continue to serve their purpose for years to come.
Toilet Cubicles FAQ
How wide should a toilet cubicle be?
There isn't a hard or fast answer to this. From experience, we recommend that a standard cubicle has a minimum diameter of 450mm. With a width no narrower than 800mm (in an ideal world) to provide comfortable usability for intended customers.
What are toilet cubicles made of?
We offer three separate materials over our eight separate ranges:
Melamine-faced chipboard (MFC)
We offer this material for dry environments only. It's ideal for budget or short terms requirements. It's also available on a short lead time. Check out our Toilet Cubicle Partition page for more information
Melamine face MDF (MF MDF)
This is the next step up in terms of quality The panels are completed with a 2mm PVC knock-resistant edge edged all round. Melamine is extremely easy to maintain and exceptionally hard-wearing, making it a perfect solution for offices, businesses and low foot traffic areas. Have a look at our Commercial Toilet Cubicle page, which has more information including colour range.
Solid grade laminate (SGL)
For the ultimate solution, we have the tougher of all materials. SGL is ideal for hard-wearing or damp environments. It's also vandal proof not to mention it come with a 10-year guarantee. Visit the Trespa Toilet Cubicles page to see if it's the correct material for your scenario.

Wondering about the gaps below and above?
There are a few answers to this. Firstly, it is the most economic use of materials and therefore the most effective option. Secondly, it make the panels much easy to clean and maintain plus extra airflow for obvious reasons. If you are looking for a more private washroom we do offer a couple of ranges to accommodate this. We have Full Height Toilet Cubicles and Privacy Toilet Cubicles.
How to fit toilet cubicles?
Our Cubicle Systems arrive in a flap pack form. For the majority of our ranges, the bulk of the work in terms of cutting and carving is already taken care of. Even some of the fittings will already be fitted to the panels. We advise a joiner or experienced handyman to undertake the installation. Full installation guides can be found on our Technical page. We are also available on the phone should you have any further questions.
How to get a quote
To start the quote process send us a very rough dimensioned plan sketch of the layout. The more basic the better. Perfect drawings are accepted but not what we are expecting or require. As long as the number of doors and partitions plus a rough idea of the overall sizes then that's enough information. The drawing allows us to provide a more accurate quote. This ensures no surprises or extra costs spring up when it comes to the manufacturing process. When an order is received we will provide a drawing for approval. This must be checked over and approved before we can start manufacturing. It reduces the possibility of any mistakes, so please ensure you take the time to check and double-check the drawing before signing off the approval.
