Changing Room Locker Design Guidelines: The Scientific Selection of Safety, Hygiene and Materials

As a manufacturer specialising in public changing room lockers, we understand the critical importance of design details to user experience. Today, we explore several key considerations for modern changing room design and why Antibacterial Board stands as our recommended material of choice.

I. Four Core Considerations in Changing Room Design

1. Antimicrobial and Mould-Resistant Properties are Essential
   Public changing rooms exhibit high humidity levels, where conventional materials readily foster bacterial and fungal growth. We recommend selecting non-porous surface materials to prevent moisture penetration, combined with antimicrobial treatment to effectively inhibit common bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
2. Safety Performance Must Not Be Overlooked
   Rounded corners prevent accidental collision injuries, ventilation holes ensure air circulation to avoid suffocation risks, and robust locking systems safeguard users’ belongings. These details directly impact the sense of security during use.
3. Waterproofing and Durability Form the Foundation

Changing room environments are subject to constant exposure to moisture, necessitating a material water absorption rate below 5%. High-quality locker panels must exhibit a thickness expansion rate of less than 1% after 24 hours of immersion, ensuring long-term use without deformation.

4. Fire resistance is paramount
   Public spaces must comply with Class B1 fire-retardant material standards, effectively slowing fire spread during emergencies to secure vital evacuation time.

II. Ideal Solution: Antibacterial Board Storage lockers
After testing dozens of materials, we ultimately selected antibacterial board as the primary material for the following reasons:

Exceptional Moisture Resistance: With a density of 1500kg/m³ and water absorption rate of just 0.3%, it far exceeds international standards

Natural Antibacterial Properties: Its dense, non-porous surface fundamentally eliminates environments conducive to bacterial growth

Exceptional Durability: Impact resistance exceeds ordinary panels by over threefold, with a service life surpassing ten years

Fire Safety: Meets national Class A fire standards, emitting no toxic gases when exposed to flames

Eco-Friendly and Easy to Clean: Requires no chemical detergents; routine wiping with water maintains cleanliness

An excellent changing room design achieves a perfect balance of safety, hygiene and aesthetics. Choosing Antibacterial Board lockers represents not only a commitment to quality, but also a responsibility towards user health and safety. We shall continue to pursue innovation in research and development, delivering superior product solutions for public spaces.
