In busy washrooms, urinal screens are one of the smallest details but one of the biggest factors in how the space looks, smells and feels. The right urinal screens help keep liquid in the bowl, reduce bad smells and support cleaning teams, so your washrooms work better for everyone.
Urinal screens sit exactly where bad smells and complaints start. In high traffic washrooms they have a direct impact on hygiene, safety and running costs.
· Hygiene – less splash and fewer drips on walls, partitions and grout.
· Safety – drier floors around urinals mean a lower risk of slips.
· Labour – cleaners spend less time re-mopping the same area.
· Perception – users judge the whole washroom by the urinal area.

Not all urinal screens perform the same. When you specify or buy urinal screens for busy washrooms, focus on design features that solve everyday problems, not just a strong scent.

· drip control – a clear drip-catching zone that pulls liquid towards the drain.
· anti-splash design – 3D ribs and shapes that break up the stream and guide liquid downwards.
· fast drainage – plenty of openings so liquid does not pool on top of the urinal screen.

· debris protection – gaps that are small enough to keep chewing gum and paper out of the pipework.
· stability – suction cups or a clip option so the urinal screen stays centred in the bowl.
· predictable lifespan – a realistic 30 day working life in typical washrooms.
Independent research has shown that when a standard urinal is flushed, airborne droplets can travel beyond the bowl within seconds and reach nearby surfaces, including walls and partitions. Combined with residual drips from users, this creates a wide splash zone that needs more than a quick mop.
- Breaking up the stream to limit splashback.
- Catching drips before they migrate to the floor.
- Keeping more liquid going into the drain instead
of onto tiles.
In a survey with cleaning professionals, 67 percent said removing urine stains and odours was the most difficult cleaning and disinfecting task in public washrooms. Many even preferred dealing with other bodily fluids over constant urine stains on floors.
Urinal screens that control drips and splash do not replace proper cleaning, but they reduce how much ends up on the floor between cleans. That means less scrubbing, fewer re-visits and better use of labour time.
The ISSA Value of Cleaning white paper highlights how better cleaning standards and consistent routines can reduce infection risk, improve user satisfaction and support the wider financial performance of facilities.
Urinals are often the most used fixtures in male washrooms, so they deserve the same level of planning and investment as any other high touch area.
In other words, choosing better urinal screens is not just a hygiene choice - it is a practical decision that supports risk reduction, labour efficiency and the building’s wider reputation.
U-R-IN urinal screens are designed for washrooms that cannot afford wet floors and strong bad smells. Each format focuses on drip control, splash reduction and reliable drainage, so washrooms stay cleaner between cleans.
The U-R-IN range covers elongated urinal screens for troughs, circular urinal screens for standard bowls and a circular urinal screen with clip for bowls where movement has been a problem. This makes it easier to set one urinal screen standard across different washrooms on your site.

Use this simple checklist when you next review urinal screens in your washrooms:
· Does the urinal screen fit the bowl shape in each location?
· Is there a visible drip-catching zone over the drain?
· Does liquid clear quickly without pooling on top of the screen?
· Does the urinal screen stay in place after repeated flushes?
· Is chewing gum and paper kept out of the pipework?
· Can you run a clear 30 day change-out routine across your washrooms?

A good urinal screen controls splash and drips, keeps liquid moving towards the drain, protects the pipework from debris and supports a predictable replacement cycle. It should help washrooms stay cleaner and drier between cleans.
Most busy washrooms work on a 30 day cycle for each urinal screen. High traffic venues sometimes shorten this. The important point is to set a clear standard and follow it.
