Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer
Are plastic lockers better than steel lockers for wet environments?
For wet environments — gym locker rooms, pool areas, industrial wash-down areas — high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic lockers are superior to steel. HDPE is waterproof, rust-proof, stain-resistant, and can withstand repeated sanitizing with bleach solutions. Steel lockers in wet environments rust at exposed cut edges and welds within 2–5 years, even with epoxy coating. For dry office environments, steel is the more durable choice.
