Temporary Bathroom Partitions for Movie & TV Production Sets in New York
Temporary bathroom partitions are one of the best tools for maintaining your project momentum, and they ensure bathroom functionality as a cost-effective solution. Mavi New York provides temporary bathroom partitions as a strategic solution for construction delays. By maintaining a local inventory in Long Island City, we offer rapid delivery to mitigate the high costs of downtime in the New York real estate market. Ultimately, these temporary installations act as a functional bridge, ensuring restrooms stay open without compromising the final architectural vision.
Key Benefits
- Mitigating Manufacturing Delay and Long Lead Time: Standard partition lead times of two to three weeks frequently stretch to five or six weeks due to material shortages, manpower issues and other issues of the manufacturing unit. For projects requiring luxury finishes—such as ultra-clear glass or custom European-made designs—the wait time can extend to three to six months. In this kind of situation, the temporary bathroom partitions serve as a functional bridge, allowing the facility to remain operational while the “fancy” permanent materials are being fabricated or shipped.
- Facilitating Inspections and Legal Occupancy: In high-stakes real estate markets like New York City, a building cannot legally function or pass necessary inspections without fully operational restrooms. Temporary stalls allow contractors to:
- Clear inspections and achieve building turnover on schedule.
- Avoid “out-of-service,” which is considered a major financial liability due to the high costs associated with daily project downtime.
- Maintain momentum for the design and construction teams, ensuring that the architect’s vision is not compromised by long lead times.
- Immediate availability and fast installation: Most of our inventory is ready for immediate pickup or delivery from our Long Island City warehouse, often within 24 to 48 hours. We recently managed a project where the design team chose exquisite European glass partitions. While stunning, they weren’t going to arrive in time for the building’s turnover. By installing high-quality temporary stalls, we kept operations running smoothly while the permanent fixtures were being fabricated overseas.
Primary use cases
- Constructions and Real Estate: In the competitive NYC market, a delay of even a few weeks is often unacceptable. Think of temporary bathroom partitions as a “spare tire” for a high-performance vehicle. While the owner is waiting for months for a custom-ordered, luxury wheel to arrive from overseas, the spare tire allows the car to stay on the road and reach its destination rather than sitting uselessly in a garage.
- Entertainment Industry: Beyond traditional building sites, these partitions are a staple in the film and television industry. Production companies for shows like Saturday Night Live or Bloomberg News use them for temporary sets and stages because they offer a professional look, can be set up quickly, and are easily warehoused or recycled once a shoot is complete.
Product Specifications:
Maiv New York offers powder-coated steel and stainless steel as two major options for temporary partitions. They provide a balance of durability, immediate availability, and cost-effectiveness.
Powder-coated steel stalls: Powder-coated steel is a popular choice because it offers a low-cost solution for immediate restroom needs without sacrificing quality. This material features a robust coating specifically engineered to resist scratches, dents, and corrosion. This makes it ideal for the “rigorous demands” and fast-paced environments of film and television sets. Despite being temporary, these units provide a professional look suitable for occupied facilities. Because they are durable, they can be easily warehoused, reused, or recycled after a project or production wraps.
Stainless steel stalls: Stainless steel is often utilized in high-profile projects where the eventual permanent installation involves luxury materials like European-made glass. It provides a high-quality temporary alternative that allows a facility to pass inspections and maintain day-to-day use without compromising the professional atmosphere of the building. The stainless steel is like a sleek executive sedan that maintains a professional image for a corporate office until the final vision is ready.
