Washroom Products
Washroom products cover the fixtures and consumables needed to equip a compliant, hygienic public or staff washroom: hand dryers, hand soap and sanitiser, hand towels and toilet rolls, hand wash basins, blue roll/centrefeed and washroom dispensers. Pubs, cafes, hotels, schools, offices and care homes all need washroom facilities that meet welfare regulations and cope with their expected footfall, from a single staff toilet to high-traffic customer washrooms.
Key specifications
Buying decisions differ by footfall and setting: high-footfall pub or hotel washrooms benefit from fast, high-powered hand dryers or bulk-fill dispensers to reduce restocking; care homes often need contactless dispensers and easy-access basins for infection control and accessibility standards; back-of-house kitchen washrooms need robust, wipe-clean dispensers matched to food hygiene handwashing requirements.
Washroom Products — FAQs
What washroom equipment does a commercial washroom legally need?
UK welfare regulations require adequate handwashing facilities including a basin, hot and cold (or appropriately mixed) running water, soap, and a means of drying hands (towels or a dryer), sized to the number of staff or customers using the facility.
Are hand dryers or paper towels better for a busy washroom?
High-speed hand dryers reduce ongoing consumable costs and waste for high-footfall sites, while paper towels are often preferred in food-handling settings for speed and are sometimes specified for infection-control reasons in care homes — many sites offer both.
Brands typical of this category include Jantex and Dryflow as the leading ranges, with Rubbermaid, SCJ Professional and Mitsubishi also well represented, spanning hotel customer washrooms to care home accessible facilities.
