An increasing number of organizations and developers are waking to the need for high quality bathroom cubicles. That is because a poorly maintained bathroom leaves a poor impression on customers, while being a pain for employees. Needless to elaborate, it also tarnishes the reputation of the organization. The level of bathroom luxury people enjoy today, however, was not always there. Continuing on the subject, in this blog post, we take a look at the evolution of bathroom cubicles. Read on.

Historic Footprints

The oldest bathing facilities documented in ancient Roman and Asian societies were shared, unlike modern bathroom cubicles. Only the wealthy and affluent enjoyed superior bathroom facilities. By the end of the imperial era, things only got worse. The public facilities were eventually blamed for spreading diseases and were closed down in the 16th century. It was only at the end of the 16th century that the first flushing toilet was invented in England for the Queen and was installed privately for her in the castle.

The Turning Point

The real evolution of the bathroom took place in the 20th century when more number of women started working and shopping out of their home. This was the time when private retiring rooms with bathroom partitions were built to accommodate women’s needs and take care of their privacy.

The Evolution of Partitions

The concept of individual privacy in public restrooms took some time but it finally settled in. Since the last century, bathroom stalls have been used to provide the much needed privacy to users. Over time, bathroom partitions have evolved greatly, starting from the earliest partitions that were made of powder-coated steel or wood, to the modern-day versions such as laminate, stainless steel, and phenolic that have been widely used for the last 40 years.

Modern Bathroom Partitions

Advancements in manufacturing technology have enabled manufacturers to produce highly durable bathroom partitions that also carry a great visual appeal. Modern bathroom cubicles are usually made of materials such as High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) and Solid Grade Laminate (SGL) and offer a unique combination of aesthetics, sophisticated design, privacy, and durability. The key advantage of these partitions is they never rust, corrode, or require painting. They are also moisture-resistant, making them suitable even for high humidity environments.
