Are you looking for a durable and water-resistant material for surfaces and cubicles in washrooms? Then look no further than solid grade laminate.
Solid grade laminate for washrooms is renowned for its high strength, low maintenance, moisture and impact resistance. It is widely used for toilet cubicles, changing facilities and locker doors, providing robust durable surfaces in busy environments which can be prone to damage or vandalism.
Panel Systems has been fabricating solid grade laminate for over 40 years. Our extensive facilities include advanced CNC routing and cutting services and a highly experienced skilled team of CAD designers.
We have the capability to fabricate solid grade laminate for the door and wall panels of toilet cubicles and other washroom elements such as shower cubicles, locker and bathroom vanity units and sink surrounds.
Discover why solid grade laminate is increasingly popular for washrooms and find out the benefits of partnering with Panel Systems.
What is solid grade laminate?
Solid grade laminate is created by layering sheets of thin kraft paper which are bonded with thermosetting polymer or plastic. These layers are pressed together under intense heat and pressure, resulting in a material that offers exceptional strength and water resistance. Using CNC machining, we can achieve precise and smooth cuts when shaping solid grade laminate.
How can solid grade laminate be used in washroom applications?
Solid grade laminate is used for a wide variety of applications including:
- Toilet cubicles: Solid grade laminate can endure frequent use and be clean without losing its structural integrity or aesthetic appeal.
- Shower cubicles: It can withstand high humidity and constant water exposure, ensuring long-term performance and hygiene. The material’s non-porous surface also prevents mould growth.
- Vanity units: Solid grade laminate resists water damage and staining, making it an excellent choice for countertops and other surfaces exposed to splashes and spills.
- Locker doors: This material provides a sturdy, secure storage solution in changing rooms. Its impact resistance ensures that lockers remain functional and visually appealing despite constant use.
5 benefits of solid grade laminate for washrooms
- Durability: Washrooms in high-traffic areas such as schools, gyms, and leisure centres are subject to deterioration over time. Solid grade laminate helps prevent constant repairs, thanks to its toughness and resistance to moisture.
- Water resistance: Solid grade laminate is extremely waterproof, making it a perfect choice for wet areas or high-humidity environments like washrooms in leisure centres or swimming pool facilities.
- Vandal resistance: This non-porous material is ideal for environments where vandalism is likely thanks to its great impact resistance.
- Low maintenance: Solid grade laminate is a low-maintenance material that is also easy to clean without damaging its structure or colour.
- Design flexibility: This material can be machined to any specification and is available in a huge range of colours and finishes to match any design.
Solid grade laminate for washrooms is designed to meet stringent regulations and standards, offering 24-hour chemical resistance, antibacterial properties, scratch and wear resistance and quick installation.
