Standard portable toilets and luxury toilet trailers both have a part to play in meeting basic human needs, but that is where the similarity ends. Here, we will examine both types of toilets, looking at the pros and cons of each, to help you choose the right one for your requirements.
What is a standard portable loo?
Think building sites or music festivals in fields! A standard portable loo is an individual toilet cubicle, designed for standalone, single use. Easy to transport and able to be installed in multiples for high-volume events like music festivals, portable toilets provide a basic functionality.
Features & benefits of a standard plastic toilet unit
• Ideal for organisers working within strict budgets
• Modestly sized – good where space is limited
• Basic level functionality
• No mains utilities required
• Foot operated flush
The disadvantages of a plastic loo
• Not very attractive
• No running water
• No vanity area
• No heaters
• Overhead lighting only – no electricity makes them unsuitable for after dark use
• Prone to odours
• Poor ventilation makes temperature control difficult
• Small internally
What is a luxury toilet trailer?
The clue is in the name! These are towable trailer units housing multiple cubicles and are finished to a high specification, to give a luxury experience. Luxury portable toilets are available in a wide variety of configurations to suit every type of occasion.
Features & benefits of luxury portable toilets
• Wide choice of units to suit every size and type of event
• Running hot and cold water
• Fully flushing toilets
• High end interiors with ceramic fittings and luxury hardware
• Wood effect flooring
• Mains connection available
• Spacious vanity areas
• Offered in a choice of finish and aesthetic
• Heating and lighting

Disadvantages of a luxury toilet trailer
• Higher price point than plastics
• Require access for a delivery vehicle – usually a 4X4
Luxury Vs. standard toilets – which do you need?
While plastic loos have a valid part to play in some industries (construction and agriculture for example), providing a basic level of functionality and required level of welfare, it is vital for event organisers to consider the end user. From summer balls, to rustic weddings, and corporate teambuilding days, luxury toilet units are exactly what your guests deserve.
