For commercial restrooms, place the dryer:

Avoid mounting directly above sinks or high-splash areas.

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.

Do You Need an Electrician? 

Because Quilo Palmz™ is plug-in, installation is typically simple. However, consider hiring a licensed electrician if: 

  • Adding new outlets 
  • Installing multiple units 
  • Modifying circuits 
  • Required by local building code 

For large commercial renovations, professional installation is recommended.
