Do It Yourself

for the residence, but they are very important in the workplace as well.  Commercial room dividers serve many purposes & are absolutely necessary under certain conditions.  In the case of restroom stalls & changing rooms, privacy is absolutely necessary.  Dividers for these come in various forms, some simple and some decorative.  It is up to the owner of the shop which form he/she chooses to use.  What is absolutely necessary, however, is that the dividers offer a sufficient sum of privacy & that they are kept in a clean & sanitary fashion.

Bathroom stall dividers are in general all of a simple and institutional construction.  They come in copious different materials, including fiberboard covered in plastic laminate & baked enamel.  For a durable separator in a public restroom that is destined to see frequent and heavy traffic, the stainless steel Toilet Partition Compartment at sustainablesupply.com is an excellent choice.  Not only is it strong enough for heavy utilization and abuse, but it is an eco friendly option as well, as it is made almost entirely out of recycled materials.

It is not just important for bathroom partitions to be clean, but they must also look clean.  A faded, stained, or chipped partition will lead visitors to believe it is dirty & leave a poor impression.  The perception of a dirty bathroom is sure to lose customers for an establishment.  There are steps that can be taken.  One step is to be sure to purchase your stall dividers from a reputable company that offers a warranty on their product.  Most wholesalers will offer a powder coating as an option in paint & materials.  This powder is added to baked enamel to encourage the paint to spread smoothly & to last.  In the long run, this is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also of customer retention.

Equally important in privacy & cleanliness are the dressing room dividers in a boutique or clothing establishment.  A little more freedom is offered here, however, for style and design.  A prevailing clothing boutique would be an appropriate place for Wayborn’s Vintage Theater Four Panel Room Divider, sold at bedroomsets.com.  While a national chain department store would be expected to have neutral, uniform dividers, not unlike the restroom stall dividers, small boutiques and bridal shops are offered a little freedom in their choices.

In fact, a bridal store might find it beneficial to use mobile rolling partitions that can be moved to the bride and her party, rather than moving the women to a stationary changing room.  The number in a bridal party varies, & they will want to change with some modicum of privacy, but still be able to chat, compare, and be together.  For this reason, no matter how many are together, they will want to change & try on dresses at the same time.  With a mobile room divider, they will not be limited by the size of the changing room.  Being open & versatile in choosing dividers can add value for your patrons.
