Elevate your commercial restroom design with inlay doors, blending materials for a unique and sophisticated aesthetic.
Inlay doors feature designs with one material precisely cut and fitted into another. This can create beautiful patterns that coordinate seamlessly with your design, allowing for creative combinations of materials, colors, and textures within a single door.
Materials
Inlay doors are available in high-quality materials, each offering unique benefits for different commercial restroom environments.
Inlay doors can be integrated with any mounting style, providing flexibility in design and installation for diverse commercial restroom layouts.
Floor mounted pilasters with overhead aluminum bracing for stability.
Pilasters secured at the floor and ceiling with minimal visible hardware.
Pilasters with overhead headrail and floor pedestals blend style and strength.
Pilasters attached solely to the ceiling offer open floor space and a clean look.
Partition pilasters are anchored to the floor only, resulting in low-profile elegance.
Explore the key features and considerations of inlay doors to determine their suitability for your commercial restroom project.
FeaturesInlay doors can be made in any geometric shape, allowing for endless design possibilities that can carry through across multiple components.
Minimum inlay dimensions vary by material – please consult with Ironwood Manufacturing for guidance on your specific design.
Inlay seals are not guaranteed to be watertight, so consider usage in high-humidity environments carefully.
Complex inlay designs may impact production lead times, so plan accordingly for project timelines.
For optimal results with high-pressure laminate and wood veneer, use inlay materials of matching thickness.

Discover detailed information about inlay doors to make informed decisions for your commercial restroom design.
Inlay doors offer a wide range of design options, limited only by your imagination and our manufacturing capabilities.
Inlays can be created in any standard geometric shape, allowing for classic patterns or modern, abstract designs. Minimum inlay pattern widths are material-dependent, although curves must have a minimum radius of 1/4 inch. Please consult Ironwood Manufacturing for guidance on your specific design.
Typically the inlay material and the surrounding material are the same, but not the same pattern. This does not have to be the case, however. There are other possibilities, including, but not limited to the following:
Inlay doors are crafted with precision, cutting materials to within 0.001″ tolerance of the specified design. This meticulous process ensures a seamless visual appearance without gaps between inlay pieces. Manufacturing details are determined on a per-job basis, taking into account the specific materials and design complexity.
For highly complex or detailed patterns that may exceed standard inlay constraints, consider exploring custom laminate options. This alternative can achieve intricate designs while maintaining the durability and ease of maintenance required in commercial restroom settings.
The below illustrates the use of a custom laminate in lieu of inlay for a restroom partition door:
For the best results, submit your inlay design in DXF or DWG formats.
Other file formats, such as AI or JPEG, can be converted with additional processing fees based on complexity.
Avoid using inlay partitions in high-humidity environments. The joints between materials are not guaranteed to be water-resistant, which could lead to damage in wet conditions.
Complex designs may require custom laminate or additional processing time. Standard geometric shapes are ideal for the best results.
The minimum inlay dimensions to ensure structural integrity and visual impact of the inlay pattern are material-dependent. Please consult Ironwood Manufacturing for guidance on your specific design.
While inlay doors are precisely manufactured and visually striking, they cannot be used in high-humidity environments or areas where direct water contact is frequent. The seals between inlay pieces are not guaranteed to be watertight, which could lead to moisture-related issues over time.
We prefer receiving inlay designs in DXF or DWG file formats. However, we can also accept high-resolution AI, CDR, GIF, or JPEG files with an additional charge for conversion. Contact our team to discuss your specific design requirements and file formats.
We can work with compact laminate, plastic laminate, wood veneer, acrylic, and metal inlays. Our team can guide you on the most suitable combinations for your design goals.
The complexity of your inlay design may impact production lead times. More intricate patterns or unique material combinations might require additional manufacturing time. We recommend discussing your design concepts with our team early in the project planning stage to ensure accurate timeline estimates.
No, inlays do not impact the mounting style options, such as floor mounted, ceiling hung, or headrail braced.
