Designing for High Traffic Areas: What Makes a Durable Washroom?

At Cubicle Solutions, we know that high-traffic washrooms—whether in car showrooms, restaurants, service stations, or bustling office buildings—need more than just aesthetics. They require durable designs that can stand up to the daily wear and tear, offering both style and functionality without compromise. Today, we’re diving into what it takes to design and install washrooms that can withstand heavy use while remaining safe and clean.

Wear-Resistant Materials: Built to Last

When it comes to high-traffic areas, materials make all the difference. In these spaces, fixtures and surfaces need to endure constant footfall, moisture, and even the occasional mishap. That’s why we ensure our cubicle systems and accessories are crafted from the most resilient materials available.

For example, our BioCarbon Laminates are not only environmentally friendly but also highly durable, designed to resist scratches, impact, and wear. Our solid core doors and moisture-resistant chipboard panels ensure longevity, even in environments where daily use is guaranteed to put them to the test.

Using stainless steel ironmongery adds to the durability—able to withstand regular use while maintaining its sleek, stylish appearance. In high-traffic areas, it's vital that materials hold up, not only to constant use but also regular cleaning, which is why all our finishes are easy to maintain without losing their integrity.

Safety First: Designed with Purpose

High-traffic washrooms don’t just need to be tough; they need to be safe. With so many people using the space daily, it's crucial to design washrooms that minimise accidents and injuries. 

Our cubicles come with soft-close doors, eliminating the risk of fingers being trapped and ensuring a quiet, smooth operation. Non-slip flooring is another must-have in busy washrooms, especially in environments like service stations where water can easily accumulate on surfaces. We always take care to ensure that safety is integrated into every design choice we make, from anti-slip floors to well-placed grab rails and accessible cubicles.

Stylish, Yet Practical Design

Just because a washroom is in constant use doesn’t mean it can’t look fantastic. At Cubicle Solutions, we believe functionality should never mean compromising on style. 

We work with a range of finishes and colours, from warm wood tones to sleek monochromatic options, ensuring that your washroom fits the aesthetic of your building—whether that’s the clean-cut lines of a car showroom, the welcoming feel of a restaurant, or the corporate polish of an office.

In addition to aesthetics, practicality reigns supreme. Our flush-fronted cubicles and clever space-saving solutions are designed to maximise space and maintain a clean, minimalist look, even in smaller washrooms. And with the option to fully customise your washroom design, we can help create a space that not only meets the demands of high traffic but also elevates the overall experience for your visitors.

Looking to the Future

When designing for high-traffic areas, it’s important to not only think about the present but also the future. High-quality materials and smart designs are investments that reduce maintenance costs and downtime over the long term.
