The materials you choose are critical for functionality and appearance in a restroom space design. There is one material that excels in its performance and flexibility — Compact Grade Laminate(Material) or CGL. In our toilet cubicle systems at Metalium, we leverage the advantages that CGL can provide for a perfect solution in modern washrooms.
What is Compact Grade Laminate?
Compact Grade Laminate, commonly known as CGL made of layers from kraft papers fused with decorative paper under high temperature and pressure. This results in a solid, non-porous surface that is moisture resistant as well as impact and scratch proof. In a range of colors and finishes, CGL is adaptable to any design aesthetic so it is suitable for both commercial or public restroom applications.
Key Features of Compact Grade Laminate
1. Highly durable: This is one of the key features that separate Compact Grade Laminate from other solutions. Due to the durable nature of these materials, they are built for heavy use and are ideal in areas with a lot of foot traffic such as public restrooms. Being made out of non-moisture-absorbing material is particularly important in washroom settings, as it helps prevent growths from forming due to frequent water exposure.
2. Maintenance is made easy: A CGL surface makes it significantly easier to ensure that a toilet cubicle remains hygienic. However, their surfaces usually need nothing more than a clean with mild detergent, to maintain the new-looking appearance.
3. Design Flexibility: With a fantastic array of colors and textures, Compact Grade Laminate fits into any design scheme CGL has ideal finishes and facilities for your needs whether you like modern or prefer a touch of tradition.
4. Eco-friendly: CGL is considered eco-friendly and available with most manufacturers who supply it, they use sustainable practices/products. Which happens to mesh quite well with how the construction and building design industries are moving towards more environmentally friendly products.
Why Compact Grade Laminate is the Perfect Choice for Toilet Cubicles
While our Nylon and Stainless Steel series of toilet cubicles by Metalium utilize Compact Grade laminate to ensure this, we make sure that all of the products in our range conform to International quality standards.
1. Robust Construction
Our Nylon and Stainless Steel toilet cubicle systems are both manufactured using 12mm thick Compact Grade Laminate (CGL) on front-face & reverse. Part of the reason for this robustness is due to it being 30-32mm thick, which only adds up extra strength and sturdiness contributing towards fulfilling heavy daily usage in busy environments. Aluminum anodized profiles have been used for the front panel, door and divider panels to additionally improve on durability, rendering a sturdy framework that supports this design of cubicles.
2. Moisture Resistance
Washroom environments are specialized, so moisture resistance is the most important requirement. The non-porous surface of the Compact Grade Laminate does not lend itself to water penetration; preventing mold and mildew from proliferating within is assured. This is especially useful for toilets in regions of high humidity that means they look good and clean over time.
3. Stylish Aesthetics
Our CGL cubicles come with an assortment of various approved colors by architects and engineers, for a consistent fit to any design scheme from the ground up. Whether you prefer a contemporary minimalist style or something bolder and colorful, our compact grade laminate finishes enable personalization to complement the overall washroom design.

So when you see the likes of 1200mm or 1500 mm maximum depth & door widths of either standard pairs to such as600mm /900 for disabled toilet doors, its practical because their usable. Aluminum profiles secure the continuous front and wall panels with no exposed seams to collect dust, dirt, or debris and help ensure cleanliness.
