 New materials and designs have taken bathroom lavatories far beyond the china sinks that we all group up using. Today’s sinks combine superior durability, functionality, accessibility, and aesthetic. So many new lines have emerged in the past decade that facility managers, architects, and contractors sometimes have difficulty choosing the very best model for a particular commercial restroom. The process of selection can be simplified by matching the most prominent benefits and features to specific commercial washroom usage requirements.
The first thing to examine is the anticipated restroom traffic. Large facilities that attract crowds are going to witness a continual stream of users passing through the restroom during peak hours. The most important thing to avoid here is making users stand in line to wash their hands. Bathroom lavatories must supply enough user stations to accommodate everyone exiting the restroom. Restrooms in airports, bus stations, public schools, theme parks, typically need multi-station hand washing sinks that can accommodate three users at a time. Bathrooms in businesses typically see low to medium traffic throughout the day. These washrooms can often be served with single users or two user stations.
Another factor to seriously consider is the degree of vandal resistance that commercial restroom fixtures require. In certain environments, deliberate vandalism is a major problem. In order to withstand this threat, commercial washroom sinks must be made from materials that are resistant to scratches and impacts. In the event that they are damaged, they should be easy to repair with a cost effective kit. Terreon® is the best choice of materials in this situation. It is resistant to not only impacts, but to chemicals and burns as well. Repair kits are affordable, easy for maintenance personnel to apply, and available through XPB Locker Supply.
Terreon® is also GREENGUARD certified. This is another important feature that organizations who consciously seek to be more environmentally friendly. It is made from recycled materials and offers an ideal blend of durability with progressive engineering. Contractors can also order bathroom lavatories that are made from Evero™. This natural quartz material is also GREENGUARD certified. In addition, it offers maintenance personnel a significantly lower maintenance cleaning surface. The entire sink is molded from one piece of material and contains no seams or gaps in which bacteria or grime can build. While its vandal resistance is not as high as that of Terreon®, it is nonetheless extremely durable. On an aesthetic level, too, Evero™ Verge lavatory systems are some of the most attractive restroom fixtures we sell.
 Last but not least, organizations of all kinds must take into account all accessibility requirements pertinent to their part of the country. ADA regulations are universal to the United States. There are additional codes that apply to many parts of the country. In heavily regulated environments, it is best to purchase bathroom lavatories that are specifically designed for wheelchair access. Frequency Lavatories by Bradley Corporation are not only designed for such compliance, but feature a unique bowl design that offers wheelchair bound users more knee clearance than any other type of sink. These lavatory systems are also ideal for vandalism prone areas and heavy traffic environments.
