Lockers have traditionally been made from a wide range of materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of factors such as price, durability, and ease of construction. Naturally, all materials used will need to be resistant to water, detergents, and disinfectants.
All the below materials can be supplied in a wide range of colours; neutral colours such as greys and beiges produce a calming, muted effect, whereas brighter shades can be used to create an upbeat, stimulating environment. An increasing trend is for company washrooms to be decorated in corporate colours, harmonising with the rest of the office environment.
MFC partitions are particularly suited to general commercial washroom environments, such as offices, with low to medium usage. Created by high pressure heat-bonding impregnated paper to particleboard, they offer a wear- and water-resistant surface finish. They are an economical choice, most appropriate for use in dry environments, but are unsuitable for use in wet areas such as swimming pool changing areas and shower cubicles. However, they are sufficiently water-resistant for general washroom use. MFC may not be a good choice where partitions may be subject to scratching of burning from, for example, lighted cigarettes; and they cannot withstand excessive rough usage or deliberate vandalism.
HPL is an excellent choice for areas with high usage such as schools, campsites, leisure centres and service stations. The resin-impregnated layers from which it is made form a single, high-strength, totally waterproof panel. It is resistant to vandalism and extremely hard wearing, so partitions made from HPL are often selected for sites which are open to the general public. Surface scratches can be polished out. Because of its antibacterial properties HPL is also often used in medical facilities.
These are premium blend of materials the panels are made up of aluminium profiles with a polystyrene core and faced with two pieces of 4mm HPL these panels offer a premium finish
Is another material type we offer which can be painted to any RAL colour giving the most flexible choice of colours with a high end finish
