Commercial hand dryers come in many different models and types. Will it be automatic or push button? Do you want surface mounted or recessed? Should you opt for a traditional warm air model, or one of the innovative cool air types?
Your answers will depend on a number of factors. Room layout and construction, budget and the anticipated amount of usage will all play a role in the decision making process. One thing you can be sure of, however. Using commercial hand dryers in your business or organization is a step in the right direction.
Despite some early reluctance by consumers to use them, it has been demonstrated that commercial hand dryers are cost effective, offering the purchaser significant savings over its average ten year lifespan. Some purchasers report savings of 90% when compared to
the costs of paper towels (and associated labor costs) over the same period.
The same qualities that make commercial hand dryers a good buy also make them environmentally friendly. Numerous research papers have come to the same conclusion. Hand dryers have far less environmental impact than paper towels.
After many years of relatively little innovation, newer models of commercial hand dryers have begun to address the biggest complaint voiced by those unwilling to use them when offered a choice – time. Older models could take up to 45 seconds to dry hands, and
sometimes not particularly well. The newest models are now capable of drying hands quickly, thoroughly and efficiently, all in the space of 10 to 15 seconds.
So, whichever type or model you choose, commercial hand dryers are good for your bottom line and good for the environment as well.
