FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Our toilet partitions and partition systems are made from high-quality, durable and easy-care materials such as glass (ESG/VSG), HPL (high-pressure laminate), or wood-based panels. This enables us to perfectly equip both dry and wet rooms.

The size of a toilet cubicle depends on various factors. The area of application and applicable standards are the primary deciding factors. In existing buildings, the   available space plays a decisive role in the planning process. The frequency of use of the sanitary facilities and the provision of toilet cubicles with integrated changing areas or for people with disabilities must also be taken into account when planning the size of the toilet cubicle

• Minimum height of toilet cubicle: 190 cm
• Minimum width of toilet cubicle: 85 cm
• Minimum area of toilet cubcle: ca. 1,25 m²
