Custom Stainless Steel Bathroom Partitions for High-Demand Healthcare Environments

Precision fabrication and installation at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital’s Emergency Department

Healthcare facilities demand materials and craftsmanship that can withstand constant use while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, durability, and appearance. Recently, our team completed the installation of custom stainless steel bathroom partitions in the Emergency Department at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital, working in close collaboration with Robins & Morton. This project highlights why stainless steel remains the gold standard for restroom partitions in hospitals and other high-traffic medical environments.

Why Stainless Steel Bathroom Partitions Are Ideal for Hospitals

Emergency departments operate 24/7, serving thousands of patients, staff, and visitors each year. In these conditions, restroom partitions must deliver more than basic functionality. Stainless steel bathroom partitions offer several critical advantages:

• Exceptional durability: Resistant to dents, impacts, and heavy daily use

• Superior hygiene: Non-porous surfaces that are easy to clean and sanitize

• Corrosion resistance: Ideal for environments with frequent cleaning chemicals

• Modern appearance: Clean, professional aesthetics that complement healthcare interiors

For hospital administrators and facility managers, these benefits translate into lower maintenance costs, longer service life, and improved patient and staff experience.

Custom Fabrication for a High-Traffic Emergency Department

Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, this project required custom stainless steel restroom partitions tailored to the specific layout and demands of the Emergency Department. Every measurement, panel, and attachment point was carefully planned to ensure a precise fit and long-term performance.

Key considerations during fabrication and installation included:

• ADA compliance and accessibility requirements

• Optimized layouts for efficient patient and staff flow

• Reinforced construction for extreme usage conditions

• Seamless integration with existing architectural elements

By collaborating closely with Robins & Morton, we ensured the partitions aligned with the overall construction schedule and met the hospital’s exacting standards.

Built for Infection Control and Long-Term Value

In healthcare settings, infection control is non-negotiable. Stainless steel partitions support rigorous cleaning protocols without degrading over time. Unlike plastic laminate or powder-coated materials, stainless steel resists peeling, warping, and moisture damage—making it a smart long-term investment for hospitals and medical facilities.

For facilities like UNC Chapel Hill Hospital, choosing stainless steel restroom partitions means fewer replacements, reduced downtime for repairs, and consistent performance in one of the most demanding areas of the building.

Partnering on Healthcare Construction Projects

This Emergency Department installation reflects our broader expertise in healthcare metal fabrication and installation, including custom partitions, railings, and specialty stainless steel components. We understand the coordination, precision, and accountability required on active hospital projects, especially in critical care environments.
