American Youth Hostel

About this project

Hostels and dormitory-style buildings place heavy demands on restrooms: many guests, round-the-clock use, frequent cleaning and little tolerance for vandalism. For this New York installation, Mavi New York supplied floor-mounted, overhead-braced solid plastic (HDPE) toilet partitions, framed stainless steel mirrors and an automatic recessed hand dryer.

Why these products suit high-traffic restrooms

• Solid plastic partitions do not rust, dent or delaminate, tolerate frequent washing and hide scratches, which is why they are a common choice for schools, hostels and public buildings. See Metpar solid plastic and Hadrian solid plastic partitions.
• Overhead-braced mounting keeps partitions stable without relying on the floor structure alone.
• Recessed hand dryers and framed mirrors keep the room tidy and reduce paper-towel waste. See our hand dryers and mirrors.

Project snapshot

• Location: New York, NY
• Partitions: floor-mounted, overhead-braced solid plastic (HDPE)
• Accessories: stainless steel framed mirrors and an automatic recessed hand dryer
• Building type: hostel and short-stay accommodation

Restrooms like these are cleaned several times a day and used by guests from many places, so surfaces must stay hygienic, resist graffiti and tolerate heavy cleaning. Solid plastic partitions are non-porous and do not need repainting, which keeps maintenance low over the life of the building.
