by Shane Henson — May 6, 2013—Special-Lite recently announced that due to the success of its initial toilet partition rollout in five Midwestern states, it is now making its new products available nationally.
The Special-Lite Toilet Partitions are designed to withstand heavy use and frequent abuse of restrooms in facilities such as K-12 schools, universities, dormitories, stadiums, parks, rest areas and retail facilities, the company says. The positive feedback from its initial customers prompted the company to want to offer its products across the United States.
“We initially offered the toilet partitions to schools and other public facilities in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio that were close to our manufacturing facility,” said Dow Ruch, vice president of sales and marketing for Special-Lite. “The affirmative comments we have received regarding their strength, durability and easy clean-up have prompted us to expand our product on a national basis.”
Noting that many of their customers expressed a need for a more dent-, scratch-, stain- and tamper-resistant restroom partition, Special-Lite also developed their new partition panels for easy removal of typical graffiti markings, the company says.
“It is important to point out that if buildings appear clean and well maintained, people are more likely to respect the facilities,” adds Ruch. “Because our panels are impervious to water and will not rust, swell or delaminate, even hose-down cleaning poses no long-term problems.”
