The Enhanced Cubicle 2 (EC2) washroom system is designed to provide a versatile and durable solution for various washroom environments, particularly those that require a high level of hygiene and efficiency. The EC2 system is ideally suited for applications in dry environments, such as office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail spaces, where maintaining cleanliness and a professional appearance is critical. Its robust design and easy maintenance make it an excellent choice for areas with high foot fall

The EC2 cubicle has many features including the following:

• Durable product suitable for dry environments
• Bolt through fixings & secretly fixed options available
• 2mm PVC lipped edges to all panels (option to postform).
• DDA Compliant turn lock with emergency release facility
• Pedestal legs adjustable to accommodate uneven floors
• Can be manufactured to suit various height requirements
• Manufactured only in High Pressure Laminate
• Available in over 100+ laminate colours

High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) is a durable, decorative surface material made by bonding multiple layers of paper under high heat and pressure. It is widely used in various applications, particularly in furniture, countertops, wall panels, and washroom cubicles due to its resilience and aesthetic versatility.

Composition of High-Pressure Laminate (HPL):

1. Overlay (Top) Layer: This is a clear, protective layer that provides resistance to scratches, stains, and general wear. It’s usually made from melamine resin, which hardens into a tough, transparent surface.

2. Decorative Layer: Below the overlay, this layer contains the printed design or colour, which gives the HPL its appearance. It can mimic a variety of materials, such as wood, stone, or solid colours.

3. Core Layers: These consist of several layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin. The number of layers can vary depending on the desired thickness and strength of the final product. The phenolic resin gives the core its rigidity and strength.

Manufacturing Process:

1. Impregnation: Kraft paper (for the core) is impregnated with phenolic resin, while the decorative paper is impregnated with melamine resin. These resins are thermosetting, meaning they harden when exposed to heat.

2. Stacking: The impregnated papers are stacked, with the decorative paper and overlay on top of the kraft paper layers.

3. Pressing: The stack is placed in a high-pressure press, where it is subjected to heat (typically around 120-150°C) and pressure (about 1,000 to 1,400 PSI) for a set amount of time. This process fuses the layers together into a single, solid laminate sheet.

4. Cooling and Finishing: After pressing, the laminate is cooled and then trimmed to size. The surface can also be finished with textures or gloss levels, depending on the intended use.

Characteristics of HPL:

• Durability: HPL is resistant to impact, scratches, moisture, and heat, making it ideal for high-traffic and demanding environments.
• Versatility: It comes in a wide range of colours, patterns, and finishes, including wood grains, metallics, and solid colours.
• Maintenance: It is easy to clean and maintain, as the non-porous surface resists stains and bacteria.
• Cost-Effectiveness: HPL provides an affordable alternative to natural materials, offering a similar appearance with enhanced performance.

Because of these properties, High-Pressure Laminate is a popular choice in various industries, especially in applications where both durability and aesthetics are important.

Enhanced Cubicle 2 (EC2) uses durable stainless-steel hardware, which provides long-lasting strength and resilience. Stainless steel is an ideal choice for environments where durability and resistance to corrosion are crucial, such as in high-traffic or high-moisture areas. The material’s strength ensures that the cubicle can withstand daily wear and tear, while its resistance to rust and other forms of corrosion make it easy to maintain and clean. This hardware choice also contributes to a sleek, modern aesthetic, enhancing the overall appearance and functionality of the cubicle.
