Good info on UHMW - what about phenolic?

You might be quite shocked to find out what toilet partitions cost. Gibraltor brand are solid phenolic capped with a melamine final surface. Santana is solid plastic . Bobrick is a hybrid fiberglass/plastic type product. Stainless steel, marble, etc round out the possibilities. At the bottom end are painted steel and Formica clad particle board. Painted steel is the cheapest. $50-75 per surface - each door, pilaster, side wall and additional money for hardware and clips. Santana well over $200 per surface. Gibraltor and Bobrick quite a bit higher. I imagine half the cost of R&D in that field is developing surfaces that are resistant to Sharpie markers. Now if you could just get people to install them with the doors opening out (like the handicapped stalls), so I don't have to back up into the toilet just to get out. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |
