If you’re not familiar with the features of a hand dryer, then choosing the right one for your particular setting will be hard work. But Direct365 like to make it their business to help you make your decisions on your hygiene and business supplies purchases.
From the outset, buying a hand dryer isn’t an easy task. There are lots of different specifications because there are lots of different settings that dryers are used. While not every venue has a specific dryer for it, there are certain things you will need from a dryer. A great example is in a school setting, where there will be different requirements to many other venues using one of our dryers. To explain why, we’ve wrote a small guide to what you may need to know when buying a hand dryer for an education setting.
Hand dryer durability is important
We imagine that durability is a factor in a lot of the purchases made at schools. For primary schools, children may not be as strong as older teens, but they’re also more ruthless. Alternatively, all ages of children have such intense and boundless energy that you need a hand dryer that will be able to handle some knocks and bumps along the way.
Frequent daily use
There can be fewer venues with higher washroom use than schools or universities. These are usually at particular times, such as before school, break times of after school, so you would need to search for a product that can perform in high bursts, using a lot of energy, for a small amount of time, such as an hour or so.
Hand Dryer Cost/budget
This is often one of the main factors when deciding on most purchases. Especially for schools as they are often given a specific budget each year to spend on improvements and educational resources. Ensuring that you choose a hand dryer that is within your budget but also works to the specs that you need is vital to make the most out of your budget further down the line. The wrong dryer now will cause you to buy again sooner rather than later.
Hygiene
Naturally, this is one of the most important parts of getting a dryer. Germs spread much more easily on wet hands. It is important that in all toilets on your premises, the children have an effective hand dryer in all washrooms.
There are different types of dryer, including manual (push button), hand under and hands in. Each style has their own benefits, but a powerful hands under dryer is most likely the best option for schools. These are hygienic and practical appliances. For several scenarios, there are multiple dryers that fit the bill. Yet for schools, the unique nature of children, and the frequency they use the dryers means that you must take into account an array of variables. This blog will give you food for thought.
