  Allows adequate space for WC installation (550mm), ledge wall (150mm), inward-opening doors(600mm) and clearance for movement.
• Compact cubicles: 1200 mm depth, used when space is limited or the door opens outward
• Spacious cubicles: 1500–1800 mm for enhanced comfort or accessibility.

B. Cubicle Width

• Standard width between partitions: 900 mm to 1000 mm
  Offers enough clearance around the WC for movement and ventilation.
