If you are designing a washroom then you will need to pay close attention to the design of toilet cubicles.
This article will start you down the correct thought process by asking some very important questions related to washroom and toilet cubicle design.
Specifically it will get you to consider the environment of the washroom together with the typical user profile.
These issues are the top of the design selection tree as everything else depends on these answers.
Environment- understanding the target environment for your washroom and toilet cubicles is key to the future success of your project.
Ask yourself the following questions:-

• Is it a wet or dry environment?
• Is it high or low usage/traffic?

Let's fill this out a bit.
A wet environment is one where the cubicle panels are often in contact or flooded with water.
Typically shower rooms and swimming pool changing rooms.
A dry environment is one where the panels are not subjected to flooding.
Typically these are conventional toilet cubicles and locker rooms.
Obviously the environment is a strong driver for the materials used.
The other is usage.
Usage- you need to make an assessment of the typical usage and users.
High traffic areas will necessarily be subject to greater wear and tear.
Toilet cubicles in public washrooms will see a lot more traffic than a toilet cubicle in a company boardroom.
They will also be at greater risk from vandalism than a company washroom.
The profile of a typical user is also important here; consider the age range and whether you are dealing with the general public or a specific group of people such as office workers.
All of these things influence the selection of materials and the design.
It makes good sense to evaluate where you are in terms of risk of damage through vandalism or heavy use.
Facilities that are open to the general public will sadly be at greater risk form vandals.
Likewise toilet cubicles in educational facilities like schools and colleges will have a strong risk of damage.
Sports facility changing rooms will be prone to damage through heavy usage, whilst office washrooms will have a lower risk of vandalism.
You have to consider all the factors and then make a decision based on your best judgement.
Answer the following three questions:-

• Environmentwetordry;
• High or Low usage;
• High or Low risk of damage or vandalism:
