Automatic Paper Towel DispenserPaper towel dispensers are still used in most public restrooms because users have not gotten comfortable with the idea that hand dryers alone can meet their needs.  In some cases, too, people will run into the restroom to get paper towels to clean up spills that occur in other parts of the building.  From a standpoint of accommodating user demand, you may be in a position where you have to factor the cost of paper towels in your restroom design at least for a few years to come.  There are also options we will discuss at the end of this article that allows you to embrace progress and still accommodate traditional user expectations.

 

If the most pressing concern you have for selecting paper towel dispensers is cost, then the best model to choose is the stainless steel dispenser that features pull-down functionality.  This unit has no external moving parts—only a slot through which the bottom of the paper towel extends.  The user simply grabs the towel and pulls down to remove it.  This unit does not offer touch free capability.  However, careful users can touch only the towel and avoid touching the fixture itself.

 

Touch free functionality does require a greater investment.  Fortunately, our dispensers represent a mid-range price point that combines a practical, cost effective plastic frame with an IR sensor that activates dispensing through motion detection. 

 

If you are choosing a paper towel dispenser that needs to be vandal resistant, there are many options that can be considered at a broad spectrum of prices.  It reallyRoll depends on what your institution defines as “vandal resistant.”  Something that is flush with the wall and offers less of a target to vandals is obviously going to be higher in cost.  On the other hand, some organizations consider anything stainless steel to be vandal resistant enough for their purposes.  This gives you a lot of choices when it comes time to balance cost with overall performance.

 

If saving wall space is a major concern, then we recommend you look forpaper towel dispensers that are integrated into multifunction units that include a built-in waste receptacle.  These units are linear in nature.  With minimal width, they can be fitted to any size restroom wall near even the most basic of china lavatories.  The slim, basic design also gives them something of a universal aesthetic.  They work well with formal interiors, upscale interiors, contemporary interiors, and interiors with no real design in mind at all

 

Sensor Activated Towel DispenserYou might want to consider the option of eliminating paper towels altogether.  As radical as this may sound, it actually proves to be the best choice for organizations that are looking to reduce the cost of procurement, create a cleaner facility, and to solve the problem of plumbing sabotage once and for all.  You may have already thought of this, but you are not certain if your customers are ready for a restroom that offers hand dryers only.  What you can do in this case is purchase a combination unitthat features a paper towel dispenser, a hand dryer, and a waste receptacle all combined as one.
