Installation Considerations for Commercial Spaces
ADA & Accessibility
If installing in public buildings (schools, offices, restaurants, gyms), confirm height placement meets local accessibility standards.
High-Traffic Restrooms
For medium-traffic environments:
- Install multiple units if needed to reduce wait times.
- Position dryers away from high congestion points.
Water-Resistant Design
Quilo Palmz™ hand dryers are built for bathroom environments and feature water-resistant construction but should not be installed in direct water spray zones.
