Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Cubicles
Size and Specifications for Toilet Cubicles
How many toilet cubicles do I need in a washroom?

How big is a toilet cubicle?
Standard toilet cubicles should be at least 910mm wide x 1740mm deep. Sizes increase for ambulant and accessible cubicles to meet regulations, they can also be dependent on the sector.
What are the required dimensions for disabled toilet cubicles in the UK?
A wheelchair-accessible cubicle should typically be at least 1500mm wide x 2250mm deep, in line with Approved Document M.
How wide is a disabled toilet door?
The minimum clear opening is 775mm, but we recommend 900mm for improved accessibility.
What are the different toilet cubicle layout options?
Common layouts include between walls, against walls, in-line (also known as corner). The right choice depends on the available space, washroom traffic, and accessibility requirements.
How do I specify Bushboard cubicles for my project?
You can start by using our own online washroom specification tool, designed to make specifying quick and simple. Bushboard products are also available via our NBS Source profile. NBS documents can also be downloaded directly from each of our product pages.
Do you provide Superloo washroom solutions?
Yes. Bushboard Superloo units can be designed as a fully self-contained washroom integrated within a toilet cubicle or within a room using cubicle door fronts. This allows for flexible designs that maximise space, improve privacy, and create efficient layouts in offices, leisure facilities, and commercial buildings.
