Collection: Bobrick Hand Dryers

FAQs

• Are Bobrick hand dryers suitable for accessible (ADA/DDA) washrooms?

  Yes. Bobrick specializes in ADA-compliant and DDA-friendly washroom hardware. Many Bobrick models, particularly the TrimDry™ recessed and semi-recessed series, project 100mm (4 inches) or less from the wall surface, ensuring unimpeded access along corridors and inside accessible washrooms.
  
  

• What makes Bobrick hand dryers vandal-resistant?

  Bobrick dryers are built using heavy-gauge materials such as 18-gauge 304 stainless steel or 3mm thick zinc die-cast covers. They feature concealed air inlets, tamper-resistant hex screws, and solid mounting plates that prevent unauthorized removal or physical damage in public venues.
  
  

• How do recessed Bobrick hand dryers compare to surface-mounted models?

  Recessed Bobrick hand dryers sit inside a wall cavity with only a flush cover plate visible on the outside, creating a seamless architectural look and saving space in tight washrooms. Surface-mounted models attach directly to the wall face and require no structural wall cutout, making them faster to retro-fit during minor renovations.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• What is the typical drying time for a Bobrick commercial hand dryer?

  Depending on the model selected, high-speed Bobrick dryers dry hands thoroughly in 10 to 15 seconds using high-velocity focused air streams, ensuring rapid throughput in high-footfall environments.
  
  

• How do I maintain and clean stainless steel Bobrick hand dryers?

  To clean Bobrick 304 stainless steel covers, wipe down the surface using a soft microfiber cloth with warm water and a mild detergent or specialized stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the brushed grain and avoid abrasive pads, bleach, or chloride-based chemical cleaners.
