Today, let’s talk about faucet trends.
Commercial Plumbing Faucet Trends
High Efficiency
We’ve all been told to turn the faucet off when we’re brushing our teeth. But what about saving water when we turn the faucet on? With water efficient faucets on the market, it may be time to consider a WaterSensed labeled faucet. These faucets, good for commercial or residential sinks, can reduce water flow by 30%. This low-flow fixture still offers 1.5 gallons of water per minute, and will help your business be more environmentally friendly.
Antimicrobial
When you are in high traffic facilities, you are more susceptible to germs. For example, hospitals, doctors offices and senior living facilities, are places that should highly consider these faucets. The inside of these fixtures are coated with an antimicrobial that inhibits the growth of bacteria. Touched by multiple people a day, these faucets can reduce the spread of infection. In today’s climate, these quality faucets have never been more important.
Motion Activated
These faucets are both functional and eco-friendly. With these faucets, you don’t have to touch a surface hundreds or thousands of people are touching daily. Water is only flowing when your hands are directly below the faucet. It’s a win-win for commercial plumbing, and although they’ve been around for a while, we’re seeing more and more buildings installing these highly efficient fixtures.
