TOILET PARTITIONS

Manning Materials is here to help with your bathroom toilet partition order, whether you’re a professional contractor or you’re working on your first project, .

The following pages are here to help you select the right material for your project. Although we have a large selection of bathroom toilet partitions represented here on our website, we can’t list all of the materials that we have in our warehouses. So please feel free to call us at any time if you have any questions that are not answered here.

Getting a Quote
We have some pricing samples on the individual material pages to give you an idea of the costs, but for a written quote that you can reference when placing an order, just fax or email us your layout.

Your drawing should show us the layout of stalls within the room, and the dimensions you would like each stall to be. You will also need to let us know the type of material you would like the toilet partitions made out of, and the zip code they will be shipping to so we can include freight / shipping charges.

Quotes include all of the toilet partition panels, doors and hardware you need to make your project happen. We can also include freight costs in your quote up front, so you have a total cost with no hidden or ‘add-on’ charges.

Toilet Partition Styles
Floor-Mounted, Overhead-Braced – The most economical choice, and the fastest available option. This style is ideal for wood or concrete floors.

Pilasters mount to floor and panels mount to walls, with anodized aluminum anti-grip headrail run across the top for additional strength and support.
Floor-Mounted – Requires a minimum 2″ thick concrete floor for proper installation. Pilasters mount to floor, panels mount to wall. Top for the partitions is flush, ideal for areas with low ceilings.

Ceiling-Hung – Requires structural steel ceiling supports for proper installation. Pilasters mount to the ceiling, and panels mount to walls. This style leaves an unobstructed floor area for efficient cleaning.

Floor-to-Ceiling – Recommended to be installed into steel ceiling supports and a concrete floor. Pilasters mount to both floor and ceiling, and panels mount to walls.

Are Bathroom Hand Dryers Sanitary?

Public bathrooms are already a nightmare for anyone who hates germs, and I usually try to just not think about all of the bacteria around me. I cringe when I sit down on a public toilet seat or turn on a faucet, but a new study has me wondering whether I've been worried about the wrong thing all along. If you're wondering whether bathroom hand dryers are sanitary, you should know that a new study found they may spray you with more bacteria than you'd ever think. Researchers at the University of Connecticut analyzed public restrooms and found that hand dryers were dispersing Bacillus subtilis, a bacteria commonly found in human feces. If you're thinking about switching to paper towels permanently, I don't blame you. I prefer hand dryers because they're less messy and, supposedly, better for the environment, but you may also leave the bathroom with bacteria-covered hands. To understand the horrifying results, it's important to know how hand dryers actually work. After you poop, the bacteria can end up aerosolized thanks to flushing, especially because so many public bathrooms don't have lids on their toilets. Some hand dryers recirculate the air in the room, which leads to bacteria ending up on your hands after you wash them. The research team swabbed the hand dryers and didn't find enough germs to account for the bacteria output, according to Live Science, so scientists theorized that bacteria in the air is the cause. The good news is that you aren't likely to get sick from a hand dryer, even though the ick factor is high here. Researchers say the implications of their study are important for health care facilities and other sterilized environments, but most of our immune systems can handle the bacteria that's being blown our way. Adding HEPA filters to hand dryers could be one way to reduce the bacteria that's currently being spread, according to the UConn team. HEPA filters absorb particles and are often found in air purifiers, and the researchers found that bacteria was reduced fourfold after retrofitting hand dryers with the filters. Researchers already suspected that hand dryers were kind of gross. In February, a picture of a petri dish filled with gross-looking spores that were reportedly from a hand dryer got hundreds of thousands of shares on Facebook. A 2016 study found that jet hand dryers — the ultra-modern dryers that blow a lot of air quickly and actually get your hands dry in seconds — spread 1,300 more virus clumps than paper towels, according to Popular Science. But this study provides evidence of how the hand dryers become contaminated in the first place and steps that can be taken to reduce bacteria. So should you switch to paper towels? Like I said, I don’t blame you if you have the urge, but hand dryers are arguably better for the environment. Paper towels end up in the trash, while hand dryers don’t create any waste once they're manufactured, shipped and installed. Still, it’s kind of pointless to wash your hands and have them dirtier than they were when you came into the bathroom, so it’s your choice. Quartz says the findings are most useful for people who work in labs and handle harmful pathogens and healthcare facilities with immunocompromised patients — even though no one wants germs on them, you’ll likely be okay if you’re a healthy adult. And if a bathroom only has hand dryers, you aren’t left with much of a choice. Eventually, manufacturers will catch on and add air filters to hand dryers, but until then, just try not to think about it too much as you’re drying your hands in a public bathroom and use hand sanitizer liberally.
