Does ADA differentiate between bathroom stall and non-stall just by the material of the stall itself?

Question

Is there anything that, for ADA purposes, differentiates the definition between bathroom stall and non-stall just by the material properties of the stall itself?

In this case, the partitions of our bathrooms are 4-5” stud walls per client’s request. The question is: Would we need to provide push/pull clearance in stalls that are additional to the main ADA stall? I know that in usual stalls you only need a certain width, but no clear space per se and you can swing the door inwards. Do you think ADA would say they are not stalls if we’re not using aluminum panels but gyp+stud partitions??

THANKS!

No. I believe that ADA considers a non-stall bathroom one with a single toilet in the room, such as the bathroom in your home. Bathrooms with multiple toilets are stalls, regardless of the material used.
