When designing public facilities like malls, schools, offices, and hospitals, toilet cubicles may seem like minor elements, but they play a major role in ensuring comfort, hygiene, and safety. Choosing the right material not only elevates the overall look of the space, but also determines the durability and maintenance needs of the installation. Today’s interior and architectural trends call for toilet cubicles that are strong, hygienic, easy to maintain, and aesthetically pleasing. Below are several commonly used toilet cubicle materials along with recommendations for the demands of modern public spaces.  

PVC Board 

PVC board is a lightweight, waterproof plastic-based material that is widely used thanks to its easy installation and affordable cost. However, its durability is limited. The surface is more susceptible to dents, scratches, and deformation, especially in high-traffic public areas. Over time, PVC may warp or expand due to temperature and humidity changes. Because of this, PVC board is more suitable for temporary installations or low-usage areas.

HPL (High Pressure Laminate) 

Commonly used for interior surfaces, HPL can also serve as a partition material thanks to its wide selection of patterns and textures that help maintain a polished look. It resists scratches and stains well, making it ideal for toilets with controlled humidity. However, because HPL is bonded to substrates like plywood or particle board, prolonged exposure to water could cause swelling. HPL is best suited for low-humidity indoor toilets such as those in office buildings and hotels.

AICA Compact 

AICA Compact is a premium, thick HPL engineered for maximum durability. Reinforced with a phenolic resin core, it delivers an exceptional moisture and impact resistance, a long-term dimensional stability, and a solid and sturdy structure suitable for heavy use. Compact is available in multiple thicknesses, sizes, and design selections, AICA Compact is the ideal choice for high-performance toilet cubicles with a clean, modern appearance. It is also versatile for other applications such as dining furniture and partitions requiring superior strength and hygiene. Curious to explore the collection?
