Compare Materials
Each material offers different benefits in terms of durability, moisture resistance, appearance, and lead time. Powder coated steel remains the workhorse of the commercial restroom industry, but solid plastic HDPE has overtaken it in schools, gyms, and aquatic facilities for its lifetime resistance to rust and graffiti. Phenolic and stainless steel sit at the premium end where vandal-resistance, hygiene, and high-traffic durability are non-negotiable. Use the table below to shortlist a material, then open the detail page to review colors, mounting compatibility, hardware, and ADA options.
