Understanding Typical Toilet Partition Dimensions

When it comes to designing restrooms, particularly in new construction projects, understanding the typical dimensions and configurations of toilet partitions is crucial. At Fast Partitions, we ensure that you have the most accurate and detailed information to make the best decisions for your bathroom projects. Below, we delve into the standard measurements for powder-coated steel toilet partitions, keeping in mind that actual product measurements may vary based on material, style, and in-field dimensions.

Standard Stall Dimensions

A well-designed toilet stall provides ample room for users to move comfortably. Here are the typical dimensions for a standard toilet stall:

• Width: 36 inches
• Depth: 60 inches
• Door Width: 24 inches

These dimensions ensure there is enough clearance between the door and the toilet for ease of use.

ADA-Compliant Stalls

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), restrooms must include at least one larger stall designed to accommodate wheelchairs. The dimensions for an ADA-compliant stall are:

• Width: 60 inches
• Depth: 60 inches
• Door Width: 36 inches

These stalls are usually located at the end of the row to provide easy access.

Alcove Configurations

Restrooms often feature an end stall that extends from wall to wall, creating a 90-degree angle with other compartments. This configuration is known as an alcove unit. Typical dimensions for an alcove unit are:

• Total Width: 108 inches
• Door Width: 24 inches (standard) or 36 inches (ADA-compliant)

Doors, Pilasters, and Panel Heights

The most common style of toilet partitions is floor-mounted with overhead bracing. The components of these partitions are as follows:

• Pilasters: 82 inches tall, mounted to the floor with an overhead rail for added stability.
• Standard Door and Side Divider Panels: 58 inches in height, mounted 12 inches off the floor.
• Solid Plastic Partitions: Include a 55-inch side divider panel mounted 14 inches from the floor.

For those seeking higher privacy, we offer partitions with larger panels and doors, as well as different mounting styles. Contact our staff today to discuss sizing, options, and pricing to meet your specific needs.

Material Thickness and Selection

Choosing the right material for your toilet partitions is essential for cost efficiency, moisture resistance, durability, and even vandal resistance. Different materials have varying thicknesses, typically ranging from ½ inch to 1¼ inches. Here's a brief overview of the materials we offer:

• Baked Enamel
• Solid Plastic
• Solid Phenolic
• Plastic Laminate
• Stainless Steel

Each material offers distinct advantages, so selecting the right one can save time, money, and add a stylish finish to your restroom.
