Frequently Asked Questions
What holds the cubicle up?
Fixings into the floor, and nothing else.
Each pilaster is anchored at its base.
Its top is free and unrestrained.
So the column acts as a cantilever.
The floor fixing carries everything.
Why choose it over a braced system?
Because the ceiling never has to be touched.
Its height and construction stop mattering.
So do ducts, sprinklers and open soffits.
On a refurbishment that removes the unknown.
It is usually the reason it is picked.
Which floors will not take one?
Anything the anchors cannot reach through.
The slab, not a topping over a void.
A thin screed will not hold a cantilever.
Find out the construction before ordering.
This is the one thing that cannot be worked around.
How rigid is it in use?
The least rigid of the four.
An unbraced pilaster sways at the top.
Measurably, when a door is leant on.
Acceptable in low-traffic settings.
A maintenance issue in hard-used ones.
Where is it a poor choice?
Schools, stadiums and transport hubs.
Anywhere fittings are used roughly.
Or swung on rather than opened.
The overhead-braced version exists for those.
It solves exactly this.
Does the floor clean easily?
Less easily than a ceiling-hung system.
Pilaster shoes stand on the floor.
So a machine has to work around them.
Fewer obstructions than a full-height system.
But not a clear floor.
Is it also called something else?
Floor-mounted cubicles, in British usage.
Toilet partitions and toilet cubicles.
