In the evolving world of commercial restroom design, HPL toilet partitions have emerged as the gold standard. Known for their high performance, sleek appearance, and long-term value, these partitions are revolutionizing how architects, facility managers, and designers approach restrooms in schools, malls, hospitals, and office buildings. If you're on the hunt for a solution that offers both beauty and brawn, HPL is it.
HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is produced by fusing multiple layers of kraft paper soaked in resin under high pressure and temperature. The result? A dense, non-porous material that can withstand a lot of abuse.
Architects love the versatility, durability, and sleek appearance of HPL. It's also available in hundreds of colors, textures, and finishes—making it easy to match any design theme.
In busy restrooms like those in airports or stadiums, wear and tear is inevitable. But HPL partitions can handle it all.
