FAQs
-
Which hand dryer brand is best for high-traffic washrooms?
For busy venues such as stadiums, airports, shopping centres, and large offices, high-speed blade or heavy-duty hands-under dryers are best. Look for models featuring brushless motors, durable stainless steel casings, and dry times under 10–12 seconds to prevent washroom queues.
-
How much money can switching from paper towels to electric hand dryers save?
Commercial electric hand dryers can reduce ongoing washroom operational costs by up to 95% compared to paper towels. In addition to savings on recurring paper towel orders, you eliminate the staff hours spent restocking dispensers, emptying bins, and clearing blocked toilets caused by flushed paper.
-
Are modern hand dryers hygienic?
Yes. Modern commercial hand dryers are designed with hygiene in mind. Many top brands incorporate integrated HEPA filters that capture over 99.9% of dust, pollen, and airborne bacteria. Units with antimicrobial infused covers further reduce bacterial growth on touchpoints and surfaces.
-
What is the quietest hand dryer option for noise-sensitive areas?
For environments like nurseries, primary schools, libraries, and quiet office floors, select a low-noise or "Quiet" categorized hand dryer operating between 60–76 dBA. Look for units with adjustable air speeds or sound-dampening air inlets that let you fine-tune the decibel level to match your venue.
-
What electrical supply and mounting heights do commercial hand dryers require?
Most commercial hand dryers run on standard UK 220–240V AC power supplies. Standard recommended mounting heights from the finished floor are approximately 1200mm for men, 1120mm for women, 1000mm–1050mm for children, and 950mm for accessible/wheelchair-friendly washrooms (ADA compliant models). Always consult a qualified electrician during installation.
