Hygiene in the washroom
Washroom hygiene is becoming an increasingly prominent concern in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Particularly in heavily frequented sanitary rooms in public buildings, the demands on hygiene are increasing. To increase this, it is often small changes that make the difference. Touch-free dispenser systems, fittings and antimicrobial door handles in particular help to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria in washrooms.
New dispenser systems increase hygiene
HEWI therefore offers a wide range of new dispenser systems that meet the highest demands in terms of design and functionality. In addition to dispenser systems such as soap, disinfectant and paper towel dispensers, the range also includes waste bins and hygienic door handles. They can all be perfectly integrated into any room concept thanks to different surfaces. There is a choice of polyamide, antimicrobial polyamide, powder coated models in black, grey and white and stainless steel versions. This Sensoric version enables the user to disinfect hands without touching them.
Paper towel dispensers instead of warm air dryers
The use of paper towel dispensers also offers a plus in hygiene compared with warm air dryers and jet air dryers. This is the result of an extensive study by scientists at the University of Westminster. According to the study, replacement of the equipment should lead to a significant reduction in bacteria and virus contamination in sanitary rooms. HEWI offers a suitable selection here that combines design and function.
Touch-free fittings
HEWI SENSORIC fittings maximise hygiene in the washroom. No touching of the fitting is necessary to trigger the water flow - a hand movement is sufficient. Consequently, the transmission of pathogens is no longer possible. In addition, an automatic hygiene flush, which is also controlled via the app, prevents germs from settling inside the electronic fittings. Flushing can be performed simultaneously on all installed HEWI SENSORIC fittings. This contributes to increased hygiene and at the same time reduces the cleaning effort. Particularly when water stagnates in the pipes over a longer period of time, hygienic flushing becomes more important in order to maintain water quality.
Hygienic door handles
However, one of the most common ways of transmitting bacteria and viruses in the washroom is and remains the door handle. With the 115 model, HEWI has created a clever ergonomic design that can easily be operated with the elbow. This eliminates the need to touch the door handle with the hand and the washroom can be entered and exited hygienically. HEWI active+ lever handles offer additional protection. Due to the antimicrobial effect of HEWI active+ products, the number of germs on the product surface between cleaning and disinfection cycles is significantly reduced. Thus, a continuous reduction of unwanted germs on the surface of the products takes place within 24 hours, so that 99.9 % of the germs are reduced within this period.
