Getting Toilet Cubicles Right

The Importance of Getting Toilet Cubicles Right in Modern Washroom Design ?

When we think about washroom design, the conversation often revolves around finishes, fixtures, and layouts. Yet one of the most critical elements — toilet cubicles — is sometimes treated as an afterthought.

The reality is, toilet cubicles are not just partitions. They’re an essential part of user experience, hygiene, privacy, and safety. Whether in a hospital, a school, a leisure facility, or a modular building, the right cubicle choice can influence how a space is perceived and how well it functions.

At Epcot Cubicles, we’ve seen how thoughtful toilet cubicle design can transform washrooms:

? Durability matters – A cubicle should withstand constant use, resist damage, and remain easy to clean.
? Tailored solutions – Every environment has unique requirements, from infection control in healthcare to child-friendly safety in education.
? Aesthetics with function – A well-designed cubicle complements the space, balancing practicality with design intent.
? Value and reliability – Budgets are always important, but cutting corners on quality can lead to costly replacements down the line.

For over 40 years, we’ve specialised in manufacturing custom-made toilet cubicles, delivering on time, every time, with weekly supply routes across the UK. Our role isn’t just to make panels and partitions — it’s to provide contractors, architects, and suppliers with solutions that stand the test of time.

In an era where user experience and first impressions are more important than ever, toilet cubicles deserve the same level of consideration as any other part of a project.

If you’re planning a washroom refurbishment or fit-out, it’s worth asking: Are the cubicles up to the standard the space deserves?

Tanning Salon Cubicles the Smarter Choice

Tanning Salon Cubicles are the Smarter Choice Over Stud Walls for Tanning Salons

When it comes to fitting out a tanning salon, first impressions and practicality matter. Many salon owners default to traditional stud walls when dividing up rooms, but there’s a smarter, more efficient alternative: Sunbed cubicles.

At Epcot Cubicles, we specialise in custom-built solutions for tanning beds and changing environments, and here’s why more tanning shops across the UK are choosing sunbed cubicles over stud walls:

1. Faster Cubicle Installation

Sunbed Cubicles are pre-manufactured and modular, which means they’re significantly quicker to install than stud walls. This speeds up your fit-out and helps you open your doors sooner.

2. Cost-Effective

Reduce the need for multiple trades, labour-intensive work, and messy finishes. Sunbed Cubicles save time and money, both during installation and in the long run.

3. Reconfigurable

Tanning salons evolve with trends, equipment upgrades, or expansion. Sunbed Cubicles can be easily relocated, resized, or reconfigured without starting from scratch.

4. Improved Airflow

Sunbed Cubicles can be designed to allow better air circulation than enclosed stud wall rooms, helping reduce heat build-up and keeping customers comfortable, especially important in tanning environments.

5. Durable & Hygienic

Manufactured using high-quality materials, our sunbed cubicles are easy to clean and built to withstand the demands of daily salon use.

6. Stylish & Professional

Modern sunbed cubicles create a sleek, cohesive aesthetic. Whether you’re going for a premium feel or a practical layout, we can tailor the design to match your brand and space.


Why Choose Epcot Cubicles?

✔️ Built to order – Every sunbed cubicle is built to your exact specifications
✔️ Weekly nationwide deliveries – Reliable, on-time service
✔️ Trusted across the UK – 40+ years of manufacturing expertise

Family Cubicles in Washroom Layouts

Epcot Cubicles Report

Exploring the Inclusion of a Family Cubicle in Washroom Layouts

Introduction

As a leading provider of bespoke washroom solutions across the UK, Epcot Cubicles continues to support evolving needs in modern washroom design. One key trend gaining momentum is the integration of family cubicles — enhanced spaces that accommodate parents or guardians with young children in a private, functional environment.

This report outlines the benefits, practical design considerations, and sector-specific relevance of incorporating a family cubicle into toilet cubicle areas.


1. What is a Family Cubicle?

A family cubicle is a larger-than-standard toilet cubicle designed to allow:

  • A parent or guardian to assist a child.

  • Space for pushchairs or prams.

  • Greater comfort and privacy for multiple users.

  • Access to baby-changing facilities in a secure, enclosed space.


2. Benefits for Clients and End Users

BenefitDescription
Improved ExperienceFamilies can use the facilities together in privacy, making public washrooms more convenient.
Accessibility & InclusionSupports a wide range of users, including single parents, carers, and children with additional needs.
Added Value to FacilitiesA modern expectation in high-footfall venues such as shopping centres, attractions, and transport hubs.
Brand & Reputation BoostDemonstrates a family-friendly, inclusive ethos that resonates with today’s users.

3. Epcot Design Recommendations

To ensure a functional and durable family cubicle, Epcot Cubicles recommends:

  • Increased footprint: Typically 1.5 to 2 times a standard cubicle size.

  • Durable finishes: Use of Compact Grade Laminate (CGL) for hygiene, longevity, and easy cleaning.

  • Fixtures:

  • Accessibility features: Wide door opening, low thresholds, and good manoeuvrability for pushchairs.

All layouts can be designed to align with Building Regulations Part M and BS8300 best practices.


4. Sector Suitability

SectorSuitabilityComments
Retail Parks & Shopping Centres✅✅✅✅High user demand.
Leisure Centres & Attractions✅✅✅✅✅Strong case for multiple family-friendly options.

5. Epcot Implementation Advice

Epcot Cubicles can work with architects, facility managers, and contractors to create bespoke family toilet cubicles that complement the rest of the washroom layout. Key tips include:

  • Strategic placement near accessible or baby change areas.

  • Inclusive signage with clear family-friendly icons.

  • Robust hardware and privacy locks for security and ease of use.

  • Weekly UK-wide delivery ensures timely installation even on tight project schedules.


Conclusion

The inclusion of family toilet cubicles demonstrates a forward-thinking, user-first approach to washroom design. As part of Epcot Cubicles’ commitment to quality, flexibility, and reliability, we are well-placed to deliver tailored solutions for clients seeking to enhance accessibility and usability in their washroom spaces.

Whether for modular builds, public facilities, or leisure sectors, a family cubicle is a smart, inclusive addition to modern toilet cubicle layouts.
