Hand Buyers Guide
How to Choose the Right Hand Dryer for You
Understanding which hand dryer you need can be a difficult task. There are hundreds of models claiming to have different features when all you want is something suitable for your business. If you’re a larger venue you need a dryer that can cope with high footfall. If you’re a small business, you may want a quiet hand dryer or a more eco-friendly hand dryer, lowering your energy bill.
Here are a few factors you may want to consider:
Speed – do you have high footfall at particular times of day?
Eco-friendly – Are you looking for something more cost effective?
Budget – does your option need to be low cost?
Washroom size – how many people can use the washroom at any time?
Accessibility – Are you choosing a drier for all abilities?
Our hand dryer buying guide has been built to help you with this choice. By answering four simple questions, we give you tailored results that would suit your business needs. Click the button below to get started.
Hand dryer buying guide
We're here to help you find hand dryers that best fit your needs
Just answer the following 4 questions with regards to your requirements and receive our recommendations to hand dryers which are suitable.
Q1Defined by cubicles/urinals, what is the size of your washroom?
Why we ask this
We ask this because the size of the washroom impacts the noise level, power and style of dryer that would be best for you.
Q2How would you describe the footfall of your washroom?
Why we ask this
The footfall of your washroom determines which dryer you should buy. If the dryer isn't built for your level of footfall it will have a shorter shelf life, requiring you to buy more frequently
Q3Are eco-friendly products important in your hand dryer purchasing decision?
Why we ask this
Some of our customers are conscious of their eco footprint. From energy use to efficiency, we offer a number of eco-friendly options.
Q4Do you require a dryer with accessibility for a disabled bathroom?
Why we ask this
Accessibility should always be given where needed. Some people may find a ‘hands in' dryer more difficult to use than 'hands under', for example.
