Why Low-Maintenance Restroom Fixtures Are a Must for General Contractors
When it comes to commercial construction projects, general contractors are expected to deliver not just efficient, code-compliant, and timely projects but also efficient and cost-effective solutions that stand the test of time. One of the most overlooked areas that significantly impacts long-term success? Restroom fixtures.
At Saniflow Corp., we understand the pressure general contractors face to meet deadlines, stay on budget, and satisfy the operational needs of building owners. That’s why our line of hand dryers and baby changing stations are specifically engineered to minimize maintenance, streamline installation, and support sustainability goals across a wide range of commercial facilities.
The Hidden Cost of High-Maintenance Fixtures
Fixtures that require frequent service, part replacements, or cleaning quickly become a headache for building owners—and a liability for the contractors who installed them. High-maintenance products can lead to tenant complaints or downtime, increase janitorial workload and operational costs, and create negative impressions of the facility. General contractors who specify low-maintenance, high-performance restroom products from the start help avoid these issues and build long-term trust with clients.
What Makes a Fixture Low-Maintenance?
Not all fixtures are created equal. Saniflow’s latest award-winning models, like the hands-through U-Flow hand dryer, and the ADA-compliant BabyMedi® changing station—are designed to reduce service needs and simplify upkeep. All Saniflow hand dryers are constructed with vandal-resistant, high-impact-resistant housings and internal components that withstand wear and tear in high-traffic environments. Sensor-activated technology in our hand dryers and changing stations ensures touch-free operation, which reduces cross-contamination while also cutting down on cleaning time and frequency. Models like the Speedflow Plus feature integrated HEPA filters that purify the air and protect internal systems, helping to extend the life of the units with minimal maintenance. Plus, each product is ADA-compliant and designed for quick, surface-mounted installation—allowing for seamless code compliance and faster project timelines.
Long-Term Cost Savings for Building Owners
Saniflow hand dryers and baby changing stations are built for efficiency. They reduce paper towel usage, which eliminates ongoing costs related to restocking, waste removal, and plumbing issues caused by clogs. Their energy-efficient motors consume significantly less electricity than traditional models, further lowering operational expenses. We even offer a free Savings Calculator on our website that allows contractors and building owners to estimate how much they can save by switching to Saniflow solutions. The calculator also measures the reduced carbon footprint and overall environmental impact—key metrics for facilities striving to meet green building standards.
