Back Country Waterless Restroom
Romtec recently supplied a toilet riser for a waterless restroom that went on an interesting journey to a remote location. Romtec was founded when the toilet riser was patented in 1978. Ever since, our polyethylene risers have become the national standard for waterless restrooms.
Sweet Smelling Technology
All of Romtec’s waterless restrooms are called the SST models because each model includes Romtec’s Sweet Smelling Technology. In the days before Sweet Smelling Technology, waterless restrooms were called outhouses, and ventilation was handled inadequately for comfortable use.
Successful Urban Restroom Design
Designing restrooms for urban environments can be challenging. There are wide-ranging considerations like heavy usage, crime, locating utility tie-ins, and aesthetics. Each of these areas can require substantial deliberation and research to create a successful design. Thankfully, Romtec offers a lot of design experience for urban restrooms.

Choosing the Right Roofing Material: Pros and Cons

Campground Restrooms and Structures
Romtec, Inc. manufactures restroom buildings and other park structures for a wide variety of applications, and one of the most appropriate locations for a Romtec structure is in a campground, hiking destination, or RV park.

Porches and roof extensions are available on many of Romtec’s pre-engineered restroom layouts. Providing a covered entryway can be beneficial for a restroom building. Not only are they attractive, but they also protect the entry and interior floors from inclement weather.
SST® Waterless Restrooms
Romtec’s SST® line of waterless restrooms is a great advantage for any restroom scenario where plumbing doesn’t reach.
Restroom Design and the Americans with Disabilities Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) was a major piece of civil rights legislation in the United States. This law and the Amendments Act of 2008 broadly protect the rights of Americans who experience physical or mental disabilities that substantially limit one or more major life activities.
More Than Public Restrooms
Anyone familiar with the Romtec brand could tell you that Romtec is all about public restroom facilities, and they would be mostly right. Romtec manufactures public restrooms.
