How much does it cost to install a hand dryer? This depends on whether or not the bathrooms have existing electrical output. If they don’t, the work will be more costly. However, despite this potential initial cost, the investment in hand dryer machines will quickly pay for itself compared to the ongoing expense of purchasing and disposing of paper towels.

We can help choose your perfect hand dryer

If you have very particular requirements for your commercial washrooms, you can filter this category by performance, lifespan, colour, noise, and even the level of ingress water protection you need (such as IPX4). If you are not so sure, you can use our online hand dryer product selector tool to help you find the right solution. Alternatively, you may wish to call one of our commercial bathroom hand dryer experts on 0114 3540047.

Things to consider when looking at hand dryers

Price

• In general, you will need to spend more if your hand dryers get a lot of use. However, if your hand dryers will get less than 100 uses a day, you don't need to spend lots to get years of active service

Location and noise level

• The type of hand dryer you need is often location-specific. For example, hand dryers for schools may need to be heavily vandal-resistant, have adjustable noise so they can be turned down next to classrooms and libraries, and be able to cope with the amount of use they will get. Again, we can easily help you find the ideal wall mounted hand dryer whether it's for an office, school, factory, or hospital simply by using the smart search or calling our experts.

Hands under Vs hands in

A “hands under” hand dryer is the traditional style of hand dryer where the unit is higher on the wall and the hands are placed underneath to dry. They take up less space than a "hands in" blade style unit.

Benefits of Hands-in style hand dryers

• Collect water driven off the hands, keeping floors, walls and users dry
• Scrape moisture from both sides of the hands creating fast dry times
• Are generally made for high-traffic facilities. The exception of this is the Dryflow Jetforce Junior hand dryer which is ideal for low-traffic facilities looking for all the benefits of a “hands in” style dryer, without needing to pay the price of a high traffic motor life.

Running costs and carbon footprint

• Old conventional hand dryers relied on heat to dry as motors were slow, meaning a lot of energy was required. Being able to turn off the heater element keeps running costs really low. Powerful airflows are the driver of faster dry times. So, look for fast drying units with low rated powers if you want to keep bills down and carbon production lower.
