Toilet cubicle materials compared: MFC, MR MFC and SGL
The right board material depends on how wet, humid and busy the washroom is. MFC (Melamine-Faced Chipboard) suits dry, budget-led interiors; MR MFC adds moisture resistance for standard washrooms; and SGL (Solid Grade Laminate, also called Compact Grade Laminate or CGL / compact laminate) is the durable choice for wet and high-traffic areas. HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is a related decorative surface used on some cubicle ranges — see the SGL vs HPL vs MFC guide for how they differ.
| Material | Best suited to | Wet / high-traffic areas | Durability | Cost tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MFC (Melamine-Faced Chipboard) | Dry, budget-conscious commercial and school washrooms | Not recommended for persistently wet areas | Good in dry use | £ — most economical |
| MR MFC (Moisture-Resistant MFC) | Standard commercial and education washrooms with occasional moisture | Improved resistance; not for constant wet conditions | Good, with better moisture tolerance | ££ |
| SGL / Compact Laminate (Solid Grade Laminate) | Wet, humid and high-traffic washrooms — gyms, pools, leisure, changing rooms, airports | Excellent — designed for wet and demanding areas | Excellent — impact-, moisture- and vandal-resistant | £££ — premium, longest service life |
Compact-laminate (SGL) cubicles are also available in specific brand routes — Trespa, Fundermax, Polyrey and Formica — for projects with particular colour, finish or performance needs. Not sure which route fits? Ask for material guidance or read the SGL vs HPL vs MFC guide.
Toilet cubicle sizes, accessibility and UK compliance
Commercial washroom projects in the UK must balance usable cubicle sizes with accessibility and building regulation requirements. Total Cubicles supplies standard, ambulant and wheelchair-accessible toilet cubicles, and can help specifiers plan compliant layouts before manufacture. The guidance below is current for 2026 specifications.
Cubicle sizes and layout
Cubicle sizing depends on the washroom type, expected footfall and the mix of standard, ambulant and accessible provision. As a general guide:
- Standard cubicles – sized for everyday commercial, office and school washrooms.
- Ambulant accessible cubicles – larger compartments with grab rails and outward-opening doors for users who can walk but need support.
- Wheelchair-accessible (Document M) toilets – a separate, larger unisex facility rather than a standard cubicle.
For worked dimensions and layout planning, see the UK toilet cubicle sizes guide.
Regulations and standards
UK commercial washrooms are shaped by several overlapping requirements:
- Approved Document T (Toilets) – provision of toilets in new non-domestic buildings. See the Approved Document T guide.
- Approved Document M and BS 8300 – accessible and inclusive washroom design. See the Approved Document M accessible toilet guide.
- Equality Act 2010 – the duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled users.
Privacy-focused options – including full-height / European-style cubicles with reduced sightline gaps and anti-peep detailing – can be specified where extra discretion is required.
Toilet cubicle sizes and dimensions (typical UK)
There is no single legal minimum size for an ordinary toilet cubicle in the UK — standard cubicles are configured to the room and the number of compartments required. Accessible cubicles, however, follow published Approved Document M and BS 8300 dimensions. The figures below are typical guide sizes for specification:
| Cubicle type | Typical width | Typical depth | Door & notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard toilet cubicle | ~800mm+ internal | ~1400–1500mm | 600–800mm door leaf; sized to the room, no fixed legal minimum |
| Ambulant accessible WC | 900mm | 1500mm | Outward-opening door with grab rails (Approved Document M / BS 8300) |
| Wheelchair-accessible unisex | 1500mm | 2200mm | Self-contained Document M compartment with basin — a room, not a standard cubicle |
| Children / nursery | Reduced | Reduced | Age-appropriate widths and lower heights for school washrooms |
Height: standard cubicles use panels around 2000mm high on ~150mm adjustable legs (a little over 2m overall), or full floor-to-ceiling panels where maximum privacy is required. For worked dimensions, door-opening options and layout planning, see the full UK toilet cubicle sizes guide.
Specifier note: Total Cubicles can advise on the right mix of standard, ambulant and accessible cubicles for your building type and help coordinate compliant layouts. Guidance is provided to support specification and is not a substitute for project-specific Building Control approval.

Toilet cubicles from Total Cubicles
Toilet cubicles – also called toilet partitions or cubicle partitions – are the floor-standing panel systems that divide a commercial or public toilet into private compartments. Total Cubicles (Total Cubicle Solutions) is a UK manufacturer of toilet cubicles based in Liverpool, supplying MFC, moisture-resistant MFC and SGL (solid grade laminate) cubicles for commercial, school, office, leisure and public washrooms nationwide.
Who makes toilet cubicles in the UK?
Total Cubicles is a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of commercial toilet cubicles, manufacturing in Liverpool and supplying projects across the United Kingdom – from schools and offices to airports and leisure centres.
What is the difference between toilet cubicles and toilet partitions?
They are the same thing – “toilet partitions” and “toilet stalls” are the North American terms, while “toilet cubicles” is standard UK usage. Total Cubicles supplies both under the same range.
Which toilet cubicle material is best for wet or high-traffic washrooms?
SGL (solid grade laminate / compact laminate), which is waterproof through its full thickness and impact-resistant – ideal for gyms, pools, leisure centres and airports. MFC and MR MFC suit dry and standard commercial washrooms.
What cubicle types and configurations are available?
Total Cubicles supplies floor-mounted toilet cubicles and urinal partitions for single-sex, unisex, family and children’s washrooms, in standard, ambulant and wheelchair-accessible (Approved Document M / ADA-style) layouts with support bars and clear toe clearance. Options include fully enclosed, floor-to-ceiling cubicles for privacy and acoustic separation, occupancy indicator bolts, robust locking with emergency release, powder-coated steel and phenolic fittings, and easy-clean, hygienic surfaces sealed with silicone at wet junctions.
Are eco-friendly or recycled cubicle materials available?
Yes – several board options use recycled content and are supplied by FSC-certified manufacturers, so a specification can balance durability with sustainability for schools, offices and public restrooms.
Why do toilet cubicles have gaps?
Standard cubicles leave small gaps around the door and floor to aid ventilation and cleaning, allow inspection and emergency access, absorb manufacturing and building tolerances, and keep costs down. Where more privacy is needed, options include reduced sight-line details, higher panels, full-height and floor-to-ceiling systems, and European-style cubicles with zero (minimal) sight lines and gap-free doors and stiles.
How much do toilet cubicles cost in the UK?
There is no single price – cost depends on the material (economical MFC up to premium SGL / compact laminate), the cubicle count, panel height and privacy option, the hardware, and whether the order is supply-only or installed. As a guide, standard MFC cubicles sit at the lower end of the range and full-height SGL systems at the higher end, with trade prices available to the contract market. Send a site sketch or dimensions for exact pricing that follows your drawings.
What configurations and delivery options are available?
Cubicles are supplied floor-mounted, ceiling-hung and floor-to-ceiling, in standard, ambulant and ADA-compliant / Approved Document M accessible sizes, with restroom partitions, urinal partitions and matching IPS panels. Hardware options include hydraulic (soft-close) closing mechanisms, recessed foot pedestals and discreet architectural hardware. Choose modular, made-to-order and customisation routes, or off-the-shelf and flat-pack kits with express delivery when a project needs a fast turnaround.

Toilet cubicles for UK commercial projects
This page is the main hub for commercial toilet cubicles supplied by Total Cubicles. It should be used by project buyers who need made-to-measure cubicle systems for offices, schools, healthcare buildings, leisure centres, public washrooms and fit-out schemes rather than domestic bathroom refurbishment.
Choosing the correct cubicle system depends on traffic level, moisture exposure, privacy requirements, door and pilaster heights, hardware finish and the budget available for the project. MFC systems are often suitable for dry areas such as offices and staff toilets, while SGL and compact laminate options are better suited to wet, humid, high-use or high-impact environments. Education projects may also need age-appropriate heights and colour options.
Use this page as the starting point before moving into sector pages, material guides or range-specific options. For a quotation, provide drawings, approximate room dimensions, cubicle quantities, material preference and any matching IPS or vanity requirements so the specification can be reviewed properly.
