Compact HPL Partitions in Rehab City, Cairo
Rehab City has been running long enough that its commercial washrooms are now on their second or third refit. Rehab Mall 1 and 2 carry retail and food and beverage, Al Rehab Club runs full changing facilities, the schools and clinics across phases one to six serve a resident population the size of a town, and Souq El Rehab keeps steady trade. Cairo House EG supplies and installs compact HPL partitions across all of it.
What compact HPL partitions are, and why Rehab buildings need them
Compact HPL is high pressure laminate produced as a solid slab rather than a laminate face over a soft core. Kraft paper is saturated in phenolic resin and pressed under heat into one dense sheet, normally 12mm or 13mm for cubicles. There is nothing inside the panel to absorb water and no frame behind it to corrode.
Rehab is a useful place to see why that matters, because the evidence is already installed. Washrooms fitted here fifteen years ago with laminated board on a timber core now show the same failure pattern everywhere: swollen door bottoms, rust bleeding from hinge fixings, latches that no longer align. None of it can be repaired, only replaced, which is why so much of our Rehab work is a second refit rather than a first fit.
Replacing like for like guarantees the same outcome in another four years. Specifying a solid panel with stainless steel 304 hardware breaks the cycle, because the only components that wear are the fittings, and those unbolt and swap without touching the panel or closing the washroom for a rebuild.

Where compact HPL earns its cost in Rehab City
Mall retail
Rehab Mall 1 and 2 run public washrooms on continuous cleaning rotas, with weekend peaks that concentrate most of the week into two days.
Club and sports facilities
Al Rehab Club changing rooms sit in standing water daily, which is the single fastest way to destroy any partition with a board core.
Restaurants and cafes
The food and beverage units across the malls and Souq El Rehab run small washrooms with heavy evening turnover and no spare width.
Schools
The schools across phases one to six move large groups through the same washrooms in a short break, loading door edges and hinges rather than the panel face.
Clinics
Medical practices serving the resident population need seamless non porous surfaces that pass a hygiene review without tiled walls and grout.
Offices and management
Building management offices and service units across the phases repeat small staff washrooms, easily standardised on one detail.
What we supply and install in Rehab City
Cairo House EG has supplied construction finishing materials in Cairo since 2015 and holds the exclusive Egypt agency for UNISCE compact HPL panels. Everything below is fabricated and fitted by our own teams rather than subcontracted out.
Compact HPL toilet partitions
Complete partition runs cut to your layout, including urinal screens, head rails and adjustable stainless feet. See compact partition boards.
Changing room lockers
Changing room lockers in matching colours, sized to the bay rather than bought in fixed modules. See panel built lockers.
Washroom counter tops
Counter surfaces in the same colour family as the cubicles, so the washroom reads as one specification. See compact HPL counters.
Wall cladding
Full height panel cladding for wet walls and corridors, a practical alternative to tile and grout. See HPL wall cladding.
Partition hardware
The full fittings set in stainless 304, because plated steel rusts at the fixing points within a year in a humid washroom. See toilet partition accessories.
Cubicle door hinges
Hinge sets rated for public washroom traffic, supplied with the fixings and spares your maintenance team will want. See stainless partition hinges.
Serving Rehab City and the eastern districts
Our base in El Nozha El Gedida in Heliopolis puts Rehab roughly half an hour away depending on the route and the hour. That is close enough for a same week survey and for a fitter to return for an adjustment without a chargeable trip.
On the same side of the city we cover Madinaty, Shorouk, Obour, Badr City, New Cairo and Katameya. Facilities teams managing more than one of those tend to give us all of it.
Rehab has managed gate access and delivery rules like any large development. We collect the requirements at survey and submit vehicle and crew details in advance so the delivery arrives rather than getting turned around. You can also see the full materials catalogue.
What to expect when you work with us
Most washroom packages fail at measurement, not installation. Our process removes that risk before a single panel is cut.
- Site survey. We measure the built washroom in Rehab City rather than working from the drawing, because wall plumb, floor level and drainage falls on site rarely match what was issued.
- Layout and panel selection. You receive a cubicle layout with door swings and clear widths marked, plus physical panel samples so the colour is approved under your own lighting instead of on a screen.
- Quotation. Itemised by panel, hardware and installation, so you can see what is being priced and adjust the specification if the budget needs it.
- Fabrication. Panels are cut, edge finished and drilled to the approved layout. Sheets stay under factory film until they reach site.
- Installation. Our fitters strip the failed system, set out, install head rails, pilasters and doors, then adjust every hinge and latch before handover. Replacement work is scheduled outside trading or club hours.
- Handover and after sales. We walk the finished washroom with you, hand over spare hardware, and stay reachable for adjustments once the space is in real use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our partitions are swollen at the bottom. Can you replace them without rebuilding the washroom? Yes, and that is most of our Rehab work. If the floor and walls are sound we strip the failed system and fit compact HPL to the existing layout, normally over one to two days on site.
Why did the previous partitions fail so quickly? Almost always a laminated face over a timber or particle core. Water enters at the bottom edge, the core swells and lifts the face, and the door can no longer be repaired. Compact HPL has no core for water to enter.
Can you work outside mall trading hours or club opening hours? Yes. Replacement work in Rehab is normally done outside trading and club hours. We agree the window at survey and plan delivery, cutting and installation around it.
Do you supply lockers for the club changing rooms? Yes, built from the same panel with matching stainless steel 304 fittings, so the changing room and washroom share one specification and one spares list.
What thickness should a Rehab mall washroom use? 13mm for public mall and club washrooms. 12mm is sufficient for staff washrooms, small offices and clinic rooms, and it costs less.
Can you match the new cubicles to the existing washroom scheme? Usually. The range covers solid colours, woodgrains and stone textures, and we bring the swatch fan to the washroom so the match is judged under the actual lighting rather than on a screen.
How quickly can you survey a Rehab site? Normally within the same week, often sooner. We are about half an hour away, so a survey does not need to be planned far ahead.
What does replacing a washroom of partitions in Rehab cost? It depends on cubicle count, panel thickness, colour and hardware. Send the cubicle count and rough dimensions and we return an itemised quotation including strip out.
