Stone Partitions
Polycor Georgia marble offers beautiful, natural stone partitions in colors that complement any design décor, anywhere. And these materials are offered by America?s time-tested, true source for natural stone.
For both new construction and/or renovation work, no other product is more ideal for washrooms, shower stalls, dressing room partitions, and more. In addition to the stone panels, a very diverse offering of functional and attractive hardware items is offered as well. All materials meet local, state, or federal codes.
It is not uncommon for these products to last for five or six decades once installed, and still look and perform as if they were brand new. With low maintenance costs, a long lifecycle, virtually no water absorption, and the fact that they are vandal-resistant, stone partitions prove to be extremely cost-efficient.
Installation
Preparatory work: A solid sub-floor not more than 2 inches. Below finish floor and a masonry toilet wall should be provided for proper installation.
Methods
Partitions are assembled using chrome-plated hardware. Floor-mounted units are set on dowels into finish floor. Ceiling-hung units are bolted to overhead support. All ceiling-hung units must have a metal spline. All joints are sealed with non-staining sealants.
General Precautions
During construction the General Contractor shall protect all stone from staining or damage. Oily putty and plumbing sealants should never be used in contact with stone.
