No matter what kind of business or facility you operate, restrooms are key to good customer experience and branding. From a modest retail store to a large stadium or college campus, every venue should have bathrooms that leave patrons feeling clean, refreshed and valued as guests.
A great restroom features a waste-free and beautiful interior with touchless fixtures that are easy to use, guaranteeing a quick and pain-free visit every time. Without these elements, many customers will simply take their business elsewhere.
When planning or renovating a restroom, you have to start somewhere, and the best place is your sink system: it’s the first thing guests see when they enter, and it should be the last thing they interact with before they leave.
Today, this is possible with D|13’s fully integrated three-in-one Sink System. Just what is it, how does it work, and why is it better than every other sink system for commercial restrooms? Read on to find out.
Finally: Everything in One Station
In most commercial restrooms, washing up is not a one-stop process. Patrons must interact with a faucet and soap dispenser before moving onto a wall-mounted air dryer or – even worse – paper towel dispenser. The soap dispenser may not be fixed to the sink, and somewhere along the way guests will have to touch a surface that can spread viruses or germs.
The time is long overdue for an evolution. Fortunately, it has arrived: featuring three touchless fixtures built into one elegant countertop, the D|13 Integrated Sink System (ISS) allows guests to lather, wash and dry their hands from a single station. It’s cleaner, easier, and more sustainable: in a word, the best commercial restroom experience ever designed.
Sink and Counter
A sturdy sink and counter form the base of the D|13 Integrated Sink System, with a wide array of material choices for the sink basin, countertop and cabinet, including – but not limited to – solid surface quartz and stone. A single counter may include many stations to serve multiple guests, each with their own fixtures. Counters may also include add-ons such as built-in trash receptacles, baby changing stations and custom elevations.
Faucet and Soap Dispenser
The D|13 sink countertop accommodates your choice of stylish, mounted faucets and soap dispensers. Choose between a wide array of brands and vendors; select a faucet with the perfect flow rate and stock soap dispensers with the soap brand of your choosing. Fixtures can be designed to match, complement or even contrast with each other, creating a visually intuitive and engaging experience.
The XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer
Mounted alongside your faucet and soap dispenser, the XLERATORsync® hand dryer from Excel Dryer seamlessly integrates with other countertop fixtures, allowing guests to wash, rinse and dry their hands from one location without ever touching a single surface. The XLERATORsync was designed for simplicity and style. Best of all, it’s cleaner, more hygienic and more sustainable than paper towels or other hand dryer systems. Excel Dryer can match the finish of any fixture you select for your ISS. They can also custom brand your XLERATORsync hand dryer.
Why a Three-in-One Sink is Just Better
When it comes to commercial restroom sinks, property managers and businesses owners have options to choose from – but none offer the unparalleled benefits of D|13’s three-in-one Sink System, both for customers and for your business.
Cleaner and Safer
In the post-COVID world, hygiene matters more than ever. With the D|13 Integrated Sink System, guests will have every reason to leave your bathroom feeling clean and sanitary: all touchless fixtures minimize contact points which can spread germs and viruses. Meanwhile, the XLERATORsync hand dryer features an eHEPA filtration system, proven to eliminate over 99.9% of bacteria and viruses from the airstream. Unlike other hand dryers, it also avoids directing water anywhere except for the sink basin, where it belongs.
Easier to Use
The D|13 Integrated Sink System provides the quickest and most enjoyable restroom experience available today. With all three fixtures integrated in one countertop, it enables patrons to lather, wash and dry their hands from a single station, minimizing time spent in the restroom. D|13’s fixtures and countertop layout are thoughtfully designed to promote ease-of-use, with the soap dispenser, faucet and air dryer arranged in the order that guests will use them. They are also differentiated by shape so guests can recognize each fixture at a glance: the soap dispenser is a cylinder – the faucet is a rectangle – the hand dryer is a triangle.
It’s Better for the Environment
According to independent assessments, the XLERATORsync hand dryer consumes more than 80% less energy per use compared to recycled paper towels, and a 98% lower carbon footprint. It is also more energy efficient compared to traditional hand dryers. Meanwhile, the D|13 system provides a wide range of environmentally friendly options, including recycled content and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified materials. Thanks to its sustainability, installing a D|13 Sink System can qualify businesses for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits and other green building certifications.
It’s Better for Your Bottom Line
When it comes to restrooms, what’s better for the planet is also better for your business. Lower energy consumption means lower upfront power costs, and switching to an air dryer means eliminating the costs of paper towel replenishment, waste disposal, and maintenance. Businesses who switch to a D|13 Sink System will see a 98% reduction in cost over a thousand uses compared to paper towels, and an overall cost savings of up to 95% that can be realized within a year of their initial investment.
