With reducing the spread of germs being at the forefront of everyone’s mind, it’s important nowadays to keep your bathroom as hygienic as possible. The CDC notes that germs spread more easily when hands are wet, so it is vital your restroom has effective drying mechanisms. In addition, after drying your hands, it’s important to make sure they don’t get contaminated again before you leave the restroom.
While some paper towel dispensers require manual operation, automatic paper towel dispensers ensure a drying experience that is touchless. With so many dispensers to choose from it can be overwhelming, though this guide will help narrow your choices down a bit more!
Choosing the right Automatic Paper Towel Dispenser:
There are several factors to consider when deciding on the right automatic dispenser for your commercial space. Budget and aesthetics play a large role in narrowing down your options, with different materials being appropriate for different bathroom decors. In addition, choosing between styles such as surface-mounted and recessed dispensers comes down to how much space you have available. While surface-mounted dispensers are easier to install, they come at the cost of taking up more room. Though there is not a one size-fits-all model for every commercial space, there are enough options available to find the automatic paper towel dispenser that works best for your needs. Here are some of our top picks.
