Determining the proper size and type of commercial toilet paper holder for your business' restrooms requires careful consideration of how often the restroom will be used, how often it will be maintained, and how much space is available for the toilet paper dispenser. Toilet paper dispensers come in sizes to fit standard or jumbo size rolls, and beyond size, there are plenty of options and accessories to fit virtually any need.
Every toilet paper dispenser has a "roll size" that it fits. The toilet paper holder size is equal to the diameter of the roll itself (including paper and core), and therefore determines whether the roll is classified as "standard" or "jumbo" in nature. Most dispensers are not adjustable, so once you have settled on a dispenser, you must always use the designated roll size for that unit.
The number of rolls a dispenser holds directly impacts the amount of maintenance the dispenser will require. Commercial toilet paper holders are available in single roll, double roll, or quad roll capacities. The more rolls, the less maintenance, however; the more rolls, the more space it will require.
It used to be that when toilet paper rolls ran low, operators had to decide between throwing away the low (stub) roll, or risk running out of toilet paper in the affected dispenser. Not any more. Many multiple roll dispensers are now designed to protect additional rolls of toilet paper until the first roll is completely used, thereby eliminating the risks of stub roll waste and the unfortunate occurrence of paper running out.
Sliding panels can be moved over to reveal the next roll (in horizontally-aligned models), or the next roll can simply drop into place (vertically-aligned models) once the stub roll is exhaused.
Toilet tissue dispensers come in open and enclosed styles. Each has its own benefits and limitations.
Toilet tissue dispensers come in recessed, surface mounted, and partition mounted styles.
Toilet paper dispensers are available in plastic or metal models. Both materials ensure longevity, and each has their own set of advantages in commercial settings.
Locking or vandal-resistant toilet paper dispenser prevent theft and misuse with added guards against vandalism and theft. These dispensers typically require a lock-and-key operation to open and close the dispenser during maintenance, and may feature concealed brake or tension springs to provide controlled delivery of toilet paper, stopping the roll from spinning freely. Locking toilet paper holders are perfect for highly-trafficked areas such as public restrooms, rest stops, and gas stations.
To open an enclosed, locking toilet paper dispenser, follow these simple steps:
Feminine product dispensers come in recessed, semi-recessed, and wall mount options. Determining which style will work in your establishment is priority number one. Do you have space behind the wall for the unit to be recessed (or semi-recessed) into the wall? If so, you have the benefit of out-of-the-way operation with this type of unit. Should the unit need to be mounted to the wall, a wall mount dispenser is the way to go for easy installation in virtually any restroom.
Once you know how your dispenser will be mounted, it's time to decide how many products you'll be vending. We carry dispensers that vend two or three products at a time, with varying capacities per chamber.
Profitability is the next consideration when determining the feminine product dispenser that's right for your business. We carry single coin, double coin, and no coin options for just this purpose. Many dispensers are field-convertible to allow for single, double, or no coin operation, and most come pre-set on one of these settings.
Other vital components in any commercial restroom are sanitary napkin receptacles. Sanitary napkin receptacles are available in recessed or wall mount options, and can be plastic or stainless steel in composition. These receptacles make it easy to safely and sanitarily dispose of feminine hygiene products in a discreet fashion that your patrons will appreciate.
It's a good idea to line your sanitary napkin receptacles with sanitary napkin disposal bags to increase sanitation and convenience for restroom users, while providing a clean and easy method of receptacle emptying for your staff. Sanitary disposal bags come in a variety of sizes to fit most common dispensers, and most are made of dry wax paper to prevent leaks. Feminine hygiene disposal bags often feature an undercut lip to enable easy opening, for proper, discreet disposal of feminine hygiene products.
