History
Yemm & Hart Restroom Partitions are the result of repeated requests by many in the A & D community requesting Origins panels be converted into restroom partitions. Yemm & Hart has partnered with a leading partition manufacturer to bring this Restroom Partition product into the mainstream.

Contents
Yemm & Hart Restroom Partitions are available in any Origins pattern, solid or custom color pattern. The Origins material is 100% Post-Consumer recycled polyethylene. The feedstock for this material comes from milk jugs and detergent bottles marked on their bottoms with the resin abbreviation HDPE and the resin code number 2, surrounded by the 3 chasing arrows. The product contains no post industrial or virgin content. Yemm & Hart does not blend scrap or trimmings back into the product. All scrap is either recycled, goes into samples or becomes art & craft supplies for schools.

Process
Sorting and hot water washing begin the purification process for the plastic resin used for Origins. It is next melted and filtered while color pigment is added and then formed into pellets or flakes. Different colors of flakes or pellets are then blended together for Origins Patterns. The resin is pressed into Origins panels in an advanced large capacity press. Origins panels are CNC machined in a state of the art fabrication center. Restroom Partition hardware, is carefully matched and kitted for each project. All components ship together, directly to the jobsite, ready for installation.

Cost
Due to the processing required, Yemm & Hart Restroom Partitions will cost more than comparable polyethylene restroom partition that  contain virgin resin or some amount of post-industrial resin.

Recognition
Yemm & Hart Restroom Partitions are readily available because the industry pioneers worked out the engineering properties for solid polyethylene, developed the hardware necessary for a strong installation and worked out the fire and building code issues.

Limitations
Origins panels are polyethylene panels and thus have the same advantages and limitations as any polyethylene panels. Due to the material’s flexibility as it’s length increases, the following conditions are unavailable:

1. Floor mounted only partitions.
2. Ceiling Hung partitions with panel and door heights greater than 55”.
3. Ceiling Hung partitions without Continuous Wall Brackets.
4. Integral Hinges on partitions with door heights greater than 55”.

The Configuration Guide was developed to make the selection of options easier. Note that the underlined characters make up the Specification number. One of many possible partition configurations was chosen for printed publication to give examples of a typical specification, installation, elevation and plan view drawings.
