What are HPL boards?

HPL board is a type of high-pressure laminate that can be used in construction, interior design and furniture. HPL boards are very durable and are distinguished by their high resistance to mechanical damage and moisture. They do not soak up water and do not deform under its influence. HPL is a material that is easy to keep clean and can be successfully used in laboratories and health facilities. The panels are available in a variety of colors and, thanks to easy processing, can be successfully adapted to different arrangements. HPL sanitary cabins are characterized by high aesthetics and easy installation.

Different types of public toilets

Public toilets can come as single toilets or in a series system. It depends on the space available and the location of the toilet. Natural masonry recesses can be used in this case, or HPL toilet cubicles can be created. Looking at the initial cost, masonry toilets seem cheaper, but despite the higher initial cost, however, HPL sanitary cabins are often chosen. Why? This is supported by several important factors. These types of cabins are durable and have excellent qualities when it comes to public spaces. They are also characterized by simple and quick installation and diverse design, so they can be more cost-effective in the long run.

High resistance to damage and moisture

High-pressure laminate is very resistant to mechanical damage, so it will work well wherever we have a large number of users and lack of direct control over sanitary facilities. This is a very durable material that can withstand heavy use and frequent cleaning. The undoubted advantage of this material is also excellent resistance to moisture. For this reason, HPL is an ideal choice for public toilets, sports facilities and swimming pools. HPL board does not crack when exposed to moisture and does not deform. The lack of damage despite prolonged exposure to moisture translates into a longer lifespan of the cubicles and lower repair or replacement costs, so in the long term, an investment in this type of toilet can be beneficial. Besides, high-pressure laminate is resistant to chemical and biological contaminants, ensuring hygienic conditions in public toilets.

Easy cleaning of HPL sanitary cabins

HPL material is easy to clean and requires no special maintenance. The surface of the board is smooth, impermeable, resistant to stains and scratches. Disinfectants can also be used for cleaning. This is associated with low maintenance costs, as ordinary chemicals for daily cleaning are enough to keep this room tidy. High-pressure boards are also a very aesthetically pleasing solution, available in a variety of designs and colors, as well as finishes. Laminate can be easily machined, cut and milled, so it is suitable for virtually any public restroom in the HPL cubicle system. The speed of installation is also not insignificant. There is no need for masonry and finishing additional toilet walls. Quick installation allows the cabins to be put into use immediately.

Why can an HPL toilet pay for itself?

The purchase cost of installing an HPL restroom system may be slightly higher when comparing this solution to other materials, but when looking at the long-term benefits and resulting savings, this difference becomes practically negligible. The durability, ease of maintenance and aesthetics of HPL sanitary cabins make HPL toilets a viable solution, bringing a satisfactory return on investment. This is why HPL cabins are such a popular choice for public restroom projects where durability, hygiene and aesthetics are key.

What else does the profitability of HPL cabins depend on?

However, the cost-effectiveness of an HPL toilet depends on the specific needs, expectations and conditions of a particular project. So, it is worthwhile before deciding to buy to contact a proven supplier and equipment specialist, who will suggest which material for specific requirements and expectations will be best. It is a great help to take advantage of the comprehensive offer of Alsanit, which allows you to build the cabins from high-quality board and combine them with good accessories such as hinges, handles, closures and legs, which undoubtedly has a great impact on the durability of the cabins. The cost-effectiveness of building an HPL toilet depends on the quality of the board and its installation. In addition to this, experience in the production of high-pressure laminate dedicated to sanitary cabins also involves knowledge of sanitary requirements and regulations that determine the appearance and placement of cabins in public restrooms.
