A conveniently located and readily available paper towel dispenser makes all the difference in the world. It’s one of the last touch points in a restroom before re-entering the workplace, restaurant, school campus or any other public space. You shouldn’t have to resort to using your clothes to dry off your hands or even worse shake off the excess water onto the floor creating a potential slip and fall hazard. Choosing the right paper towel dispenser for your facility helps maintain the health of your building occupants through proper hand hygiene.

There are 4 key factors to consider when choosing a paper towel dispenser

Traffic Flow

High foot-traffic flows include facilities like airports, arenas, and stadiums, whereas low-to-medium traffic flows include offices, retail stores, and schools. HRT systems are recommended for high traffic flows due to their large towel capacity and controlled dispensing option. For low to medium flows, any dispenser would work just fine. However, if appearance is a concern, there are stainless steel, recessed wall mounted and counter top options as well.

Quality/Customer Experience

If you are presenting a higher-end customer experience, there are stainless steel, multi-fold towel, and electronic touch-free options. If you’re operating on a more economical budget, there are plastic wall-mounted dispensers or mechanical touch-free hand roll dispensers.

Space

For a user-friendly restroom experience, you want to strategically place your towel dispensers in a way that makes it easy for your guests to move around your space. Is your space best suited to a counter, wall-mounted or recessed style dispenser? Are the dispensers within ideal proximity to sinks? Is your dispenser selection and set-up ADA-compliant?

Costs

The quality and consumption level of towel refills and maintenance of the unit are the main contributing factors to overall dispenser cost. For a low-cost option, we recommend the mechanical HRT dispenser with its controlled usage feature you will have reduced waste meaning more cost savings!
