Selecting the Best
Washroom Accessories
Washroom accessories,
specifically high-quality washroom accessories, are expected
by today’s consumer. In days past, washroom accessories
meant a toilet roll holder, a paper towel dispenser and a
trash can - not true of today’s public restrooms. Multiple
restroom accessories in today’s washrooms are a feature
driven by consumer demand.
No parent wants to have to run
out to their vehicle to change a baby’s diaper, a wheel
chair bound patron expects to be able to use your restroom
and many consumers will not visit your facility twice if
your restrooms are not clean and adequately supplied with
standard washroom accessories. Commonly found in modern
facility restrooms: baby changing stations, hands-free
automatic paper towel and antiseptic soap dispensers,
forced-air hand and hair dryers, tampon and feminine napkin
dispensers, grab bars, mirrors and shelves, seat cover
dispensers, waste receptacles, showers, shower seats and
shampoo/body wash dispensers and other devices all designed
to accommodate and please washroom patrons. Not only are
there a large variety of washroom accessories, the choices
of styles, designs, colors, makes and models are seemingly
endless. Washroom accessories cannot be denied today’s picky
consumer.
We want to be pampered. Minimum standards for
restroom quality and cleanliness have risen and the addition
of multiple washroom accessories has contributed greatly to
this improvement. High quality washroom accessories are
increasingly being added by facilities managers in order to
meet the expectations of more discriminating consumers.
If
you are remodeling, refurbishing or designing a washroom or
restroom for customers or employees it is important to
careful consider several factors:
- Consider who your
washroom patrons are and select the washroom accessories you
think they will expect
- When considering cost, think of
quality and warranty as well – often the higher quality
washroom accessory will be the least expensive in the long
run
- Comparison price shop using the internet
- Established manufacturers such as Bobrick, Bradley and A&J
have a history of producing high durability washroom
accessories and their products often trump less expensive
imported models
- Be aware of ADA accessibility
requirements when selecting and installing your new washroom
accessories. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates
minimum standards and guidelines for placement of some
washroom accessories
- Make sure your washroom accessory
comes with an installation kit.
Washroom accessories
are a very important consideration if your goal is to
gratify your customers. Most reputable manufacturers and
distributors will have a customer hotline to help you if you
have questions about their products, their warranty or if
you need help selecting or installing their products. |
