Hand dryers now and then

The sea change I refer to is the invention, by Mitsubishi Electric, of the "hands in" hand dryer which, again, was not really made popular by the inventor but is much more commonly, in the UK market, perceived as the Dyson Airblade. Even today, people request the "Airblade style" of hand dryer when they really want to know about the hands-in options that a given washroom services supplier can present.

So, what's all the noise about? Nice segue (author pats himself on the back, swigs more coffee, realises he's cornered himself and bludgeons on!) there. Noise, that would be the next sea change to hit the market. Since the beginning of the hand dryer journey noise has always been the complaint. For over 80 years every hand dryer needed to be quieter than the next to be competitive. Then came the Xlerator range. They were unashamedly noisy and they dried hands REALLY quickly AND they were tough too. These were perfect for high footfall environments where noise was not a premium but speed was. Now, in the 2000s the game was on.

Here at Zenith Washroom Solutions we've been through them all. We've supplied every range, we've examined every option and we've decided that te best thing we can do for our clients is to make it simple. Really, really simple. As you might imagine we can pick who we like to supply and most hand dryer suppliers are happy to be represented by a renowned brand in the washroom services industry. It was when we realised that we needed a supplier that could supply a range that covered all bases, fitted into every environment, be highly efficient and offer a wide range of finishes that would allow to fit a solution that worked perfectly for our customers' needs, saved them money and reduce their washroom cleaning workload.

Veltia. Their range does all this and more. Whether airblade style hand dryers, chrome finished hand dryers, eco hand dryers, high speed hand dryers or just plain sturdy, no nonsense hand dryers the Veltia range has an answer, and colour, to suit every washroom solution. From their hands in, V7 300, or their hands in airblade style, V7 tri blade or maybe their eco, low energy, F1 F2 & F5 range or perhaps something to suit our younger users in the cute and quiet F5 Eco Owl there is really something for every solution.
