Overview

One panel that answers every wet-area challenge

WC compact cubicle systems are made from solid, homogeneous compact panels produced by impregnating cellulose layers with phenolic resin and pressing them under high pressure and temperature. The non-porous surface is unaffected by water, moisture and steam; it never swells, warps or grows mould and withstands heavy cleaning. Its solid, single-piece structure needs no separate edge banding — which is why it is the first choice for the wet areas of schools, malls, hospitals, hotels and sports facilities.

Hygiene

A non-porous surface leaves no room for water or bacteria

Unlike traditional porous surfaces, compact laminate contains no voids for liquids and microorganisms to settle into. Its single-piece, water-tight edge leaves no moisture bridge at the base of the cubicle, and the surface cleans easily with aggressive disinfectants.

  • Water-tight compact edge — no swelling or rot
  • Bacteriostatic structure — no microbial growth
  • Suited to aggressive disinfectants and pressure washing

FAQ

Your Questions

Compact laminate has a solid, homogeneous, non-porous structure; it absorbs no water or moisture and never swells or warps. Its single-piece compact edge needs no separate banding, so no moisture bridge forms at the base of the cubicle. This lets it keep its form for many years in constantly wet environments.

WC cubicle partitions are commonly produced in 12–13 mm, and in 18 mm for load-bearing or high-privacy applications. We determine the most suitable thickness together based on room height and usage intensity.

No. Hinges, locks, connectors and legs are selected from stainless steel or moisture-resistant nylon/glass fibre; they do not corrode in wet environments. Hinges are self-closing and locks can include an occupancy indicator.

Yes. Hundreds of options from the broad Gülmar decor collection — including solid colours, woodgrains, marble and concrete — can be applied. We assess the colours that suit the room together.

Panels are delivered cut to project size, with hardware seats machined and labelled per room. We also provide professional on-site installation on request.
