Bathroom Partition Height

There are two important height measurements when you are installing bathroom partition walls. The door panel has a specific recommended height. But the bottom of a panel needs to be a certain height above the floor.

It is important to ensure occupants have the proper amount of privacy. Standard door and side divider panels are 58 in height and mounted 12 off the floor. (Solid plastic partitions will include a 55 side divider panel mounted 14 from the floor.) For ceiling-hung or floor-to-ceiling anchored pilasters, measure the ceiling height from finished floor to finished ceiling.

Provide finished floor-to-ceiling measurements at each pilaster location in the layout when the floor across the front of the compartments slopes 1 (25 mm) or more. Door/Panel Height and Height Above Finished Floor describe, in concrete terms, the level of privacy a toilet partition system provides. Generally speaking, a bathroom stalls door and side panels will be the same height and have the same elevation above the finished floor.

Whether youre installing a single stall or an entire restroom, this guide walks you through exactly how to measure for bathroom partitions with diagrams, tips, and common mistakes to avoid. Ceiling Height Elevation for overhead-braced toilet compartments is 85 from finished floor to top of headrail - need to ensure ceiling height at least 88 or higher. For ceiling-hung or floor-to-ceiling anchored stiles, need to measure ceiling height from finished floor to finished ceiling.
