Why Businesses in Hampshire should consider installing Hand Dryers?
In today's environmentally conscious society, businesses and public facilities are increasingly seeking sustainable and hygienic solutions for their restrooms. Hand dryers have emerged as a superior alternative to paper towels, offering both ecological benefits and enhanced hygiene. At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, we specialise in the installation and maintenance of various hand dryer systems, ensuring that your facilities are equipped with the most suitable solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Varieties of Hand Dryers:
- High-Speed Hand Dryers: These modern devices utilise powerful air streams to dry hands efficiently, typically within 10-15 seconds. Models such as the Dyson Airblade and Excel Xlerator are prominent examples, other makes and models are available. A study recently highlighted that high-speed dryers have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional models.
- Automatic Hand Dryers: Equipped with infrared sensors, these dryers activate without the need for physical contact, enhancing hygiene by reducing touchpoints.
- Blade Hand Dryers: Users insert their hands into these units, where sheets of air effectively remove moisture. While efficient, they may require more maintenance due to water collection.
Hygiene Considerations:
The debate between hand dryers and paper towels has been ongoing. A 2020 meta-analysis found minimal differences in contamination between the two methods, with paper towels showing slightly less contamination. However, the difference wasn't significant. Proper handwashing and thorough drying are crucial, as damp hands can collect more bacteria.
Environmental Impact:
Hand dryers, especially high-speed models, are more environmentally friendly than paper towels. They reduce paper waste and, over time, can lead to cost savings. A study emphasized that high-speed dryers have the least environmental impact among drying methods.
Selecting a Hand Dryer
When choosing a hand dryer, consider the following factors:
- Location and Usage: High-traffic areas may benefit from durable, high-speed models.
- Noise Levels: Some dryers operate more quietly, suitable for noise-sensitive environments.
- Energy Efficiency: Energy-efficient models can reduce operational costs.
- Design and Aesthetics: Ensure the dryer complements the restroom's interior.
