If you’ve been in a commercial restroom recently, there’s a good chance you encountered the D|13 Sink System. With its elegant, all-in-one design – including touchless fixtures and the patented XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer – it enjoys wide adoption in environments where a large volume of people have to move through restrooms quickly, including university campuses, sports stadiums, and airports.
But thanks to its superior customization options – including color, size, materials and fixtures – the D|13 Sink System is not limited to any single environment. It is the perfect choice for restrooms in retail locations, such as chain stores, restaurants, gas stations and more.
Business owners and property managers who choose a D|13 Sink System also have a lot to gain, from improved sustainability to long-term cost savings. In this article, we’ll outline four of them.
1. Superior Customer Experience
Research confirms what we all know from personal experience and common sense: customers judge a business by its restrooms and avoid businesses where their restroom experience was poor. Conversely, they reward a better restroom experience with return business and higher overall spending.
One important factor is convenience and accessibility. The D|13 Sink System provides the quickest and most pain-free restroom experience available today. With all-in-one touchless fixtures – including a soap dispenser, faucet and hand dryer – it enables patrons to wash and dry their hands from a single station without any fuss.
Another important factor is cleanliness: nothing is more off-putting to customers than a dirty restroom with paper towels on the floor, in the sink or in the toilet. Thanks to the XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer, the D|13 sink system eliminates the need for paper towels entirely, reducing waste and giving customers a cleaner restroom experience.
2. Most Hygienic Bathroom Experience Around
In the post-COVID era, customers care about hygiene more than ever before, and businesses should too. D|13 promotes superior hygiene not only through touchless surfaces, but also through superior design and fixtures.
According to a 2023 test by LMS technologies, the XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer provides a nearly pathogen-free hand drying experience with the help of an electrostatic HEPA filter that eliminates 99.999% of viruses and 99.97% of bacteria at 0.3 microns from the airstream.
Designed specifically for D|13 sink basins, the XLERATORsync® also avoids collecting used water or directing it anywhere except for the basin, where it belongs. This means drier bathroom surfaces, which means reduced transmissibility of pathogens to patrons.
3. Less Energy Usage, Fewer Carbon Emissions
Independent assessments confirm that the XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer consumes less energy than conventional hand dryers and produces a lower carbon footprint compared to a facility employing recycled paper towels (even if paper towels are made of recycled material, they cannot be recycled once they are used).
But D|13 Sink Systems aren’t just better for the planet – when it comes to commercial restrooms, sustainability has a concrete, day-to-day impact on business costs. Improved sustainability means less energy consumption, less replenishing and maintenance.
Over the long term, businesses who switch to a D|13 Sink System from traditional hand dryers or paper towels will see cost savings up to 95%, sometimes within a year of their investment.
4. Exceptional Design
