An effective way to deter inappropriate behavior
Do you think the space at the bottom of the door is a nuisance? In reality, it plays a discreet but useful preventative role .
Solid doors, extending to the floor, can create an enclosed space conducive to excesses: vandalism, drug use, and inappropriate behavior . An open door reduces this feeling of total isolation. It makes the place more « public » and therefore less attractive to people looking to linger or hide there.
Better ventilation… and therefore better hygiene
We don’t always think about it, but in an enclosed space like a toilet, ventilation is essential. Those small gaps at the bottom of the doors allow air to circulate, which limits unpleasant odors and helps keep the place healthier and more breathable .
It’s a bit like leaving a window ajar: it promotes air renewal, which is essential in busy places.
Reduced cost, easier maintenance
In terms of budget, these half-doors have a significant advantage: they require less material, therefore they are more economical to produce and install .
But that’s not all. For cleaning staff, these openings make floor cleaning easier. No need to open every door or navigate around obstacles: a quick mop and it’s clean. Faster, more efficient, more convenient.
