The Latest Trends in Hand Dryer Designs

Posted by Ivy on December 27th, 2019

Hand dryers are one of the most overlooked accessories in the bathroom – despite being a very useful device. Over the years, we’ve been exposed to a handful of hand dryers that are equipped with a number of different features. Be it a push-button hand dryer, or an automatic, high-speed one. Even though a lot of devices are continuously evolving, hand dryers still remain a staple in every bathroom in all kinds of establishments.

Most hand dryers that are released to the market come in a wide-variety of shapes, colours, and sizes. But the materials are often overlooked. The overall built of a hand dryer can alter your establishment more than you realise.

So which material should you look for when purchasing a hand dryer? Here are a few ideas.

1. The classic plastic

A plastic casing is a classic material that’s used in hand dryers because they’re lightweight and economical. And more often than not, these plastic hand dryers also come in a wide-range of colours to suit your bathroom motif or theme. However, plastics are known to be prone to scratches and damages. These hand dryers are not ideal for establishments like pubs, clubs, schools, or places where there’s a lot of foot traffic.

The demand for eco-friendly alternatives also puts plastic hand dryers in the negative spotlight. Not only are plastics notorious for contributing to pollution, their non-recyclable material may also expose its users to adverse chemical reactions – especially when the plastic casing is exposed to heat – which is a hand dryer’s main function.

2. Stainless-steel chrome

When the demand for hand dryers increased, heavy-duty ones were sought. At that time, stainless-steel chrome hand dryers were innovative because they were marketed as scratch and dent-proof. But as these hand dryers aged, the wear-and-tear of it became apparent.

A lot of the stainless-steel chrome hand dryers were not really made from steel but rather aluminium. This is proven to be detrimental to a hand dryer’s lifespan as aluminium is known to be lightweight and the finish of the material is the only part that remains stainless – not the layers beneath.

3. Chic but durable steel

Establishment-owners who wish to upgrade their bathrooms often look for a hand dryer that’s not only truly heavy-duty, but also aesthetically-pleasing. Function-wise, ABIS Electronics’s Excel 9 hand dryer model’s reliability is already established and its features are what most hand dryer manufacturers base their products on. But the variety of colours that the Excel 9 comes in is what sets them apart from other hand dryer models.

ABIS Electronics’s Excel 9 hand dryer is available in colours gold, black, chrome, and white. 5-star hotels and prestigious clubs in the UK are often equipped with at least one hand dryer in their commercial space because not only is it heavy-duty and resistant to blows and vandalism, its colours are also vibrant and elegant enough to also serve as a decoration.

While there are hundreds of hand dryers that consumers, patrons, and establishment-owners can choose from, ABIS Electronics’s best-selling Excel 9 still remains as one of the best hand dryers available to the market. Not only is it noted for its thorough and quick hand drying time, its materials are also recyclable – ensuring a more eco-friendly solution that can contribute to the betterment of the environment; the use of paper towels is also eliminated as the Excel 9 can thoroughly dry one’s hands in 10 seconds.
