Generally speaking, most commercial restrooms fall under the spectrum of either dry or wet restroom systems. While wet restroom systems involve brick walls which are up to 150 mm thick, dry restroom systems comprise public restroom stalls divided by partitions which are 12 to 18 mm thick. Apart from being economical in terms of space utilization, dry restroom systems offer better air circulation and are low maintenance.
