How to Choose the Right Urinal Screen

1. Consider Foot Traffic and Usage Frequency

Start by evaluating how busy your restrooms are:

• High-traffic restrooms (restaurants, bars, airports, shopping malls) require high durability, long-lasting fragrance, and effective splash protection.

• Low-traffic restrooms (offices, small businesses) can use more economical options, but hygiene must still be a priority, including reliable splash protection.

Recommendations:

• For heavy use: Xcreen HD or Ekcoscreen (fragrance lasts up to 60 days, 95% splash coverage with bristle surface)

• For standard use: Powerscreen (30-day fragrance, effective bristle technology)

• For budget-conscious settings:

  • Urolite – excellent value for splash protection, compact size, mild fragrance

  • Basic Screen – no bristles, mild fragrance, basic urinal protection, biodegradable

2. Splash Protection = Less Cleaning, More Hygiene

Urine splashing outside the urinal isn’t just unsightly—it spreads germs, increases cleaning needs, and damages restroom hygiene perception.

Ekcos products use patented Sealed Bristles Technology™, where densely packed long bristles effectively direct urine flow and minimize splashes.

TIP: Avoid urinal screens without long bristles if you expect high foot traffic.

3. Fragrance, Intensity, and Longevity – Choose What Fits Your Needs

Modern urinal screens release fragrance gradually, keeping the area around the urinal fresh. Choose based on:

• Fragrance duration:

  • 30 days (monthly replacement) vs. 60 days.

  • Longer-lasting fragrance reduce operational costs—60-day screens last twice as long but don’t cost twice as much.

• Popular fragrance: Forest Fruits, Fresh, Citrus, Melon

• Fragrance intensity:

  • Strongest: Mint (black)

  • Very strong: Fresh (blue), Citrus (yellow), Pine (dark green), Lavender (purple)

  • Moderate: Forest Fruits (purple), Melon (red)

  • Subtle: Tropical Fruit (orange), Mango (red-orange), Apple (light green)

• Color options – Match interior design or branding (black = modern, blue = freshness)

4. Eco-Friendly Products Are Increasingly Important

If your business values sustainability, pay attention to the materials and biodegradability of your urinal screens.

• Made with a high percentage of recycled EVA plastic

• 100% recyclable

5. Match the Screen to the Urinal Type

All our screens are compatible with waterless urinals, but some models are tailored for:

• Smaller urinals: e.g., Urolite (compact with top-tier splash protection)

• Special needs: e.g., Xcreen Puck with a wax-based NON-PARA puck for controlled release
