If you are wondering which hand paper towels dispenser to buy for your business, then read this post to learn about the points that really make a difference.
Depending on where it is to be installed, there are different features that may be more important to you. A paper hand towel holder for your small office, will be different that a busy shopping mall for example. They all have the same purpose though, to provide easy access to paper towels, that can also be managed by your janitors, or other staff members.
Things To Consider When Buying Paper Hand Towel Dispensers
Capacity
This is the first point that you should consider. The capacity you need has to come before anything else, including price. Whether you want to buy a paper towel dispenser for a school, a sports club, or a restaurant bathroom, it has to be able to handle the volume of use required.
If you buy a hand towel holder that is not large enough, your cleaning staff will struggle to keep up and your bathroom will run out of paper towels, leaving users disappointed.

Material
ABS dispensers are quite popular for small and low-traffic bathrooms. Modern ABS plastic is not only tough and durable but it also suitable for bathrooms that have high use. The ABS paper towel dispensers also come in steel models. Their rugged stainless steel doesn’t only enhance the look, but also offers longevity. Both of these models are easy to clean and disinfect.
Some paper hand towel dispensers are more tamper or vandal proof than others. Depending on where you are installing it, this will be more or less important for you.
Style
While style might not be the first consideration when buying your dispenser, it is of course important. The most common shapes are slimline for single sheet paper, or bulkier models for tear off rolls of paper towel.
You will also have colour choices with the most common being either black, white or silver if they are made from steel. A toilet roll dispenser can be chosen to match the other appliances, such as hand dryers, rubbish bins, mirrors or other bathroom accessories too.
Vandal-proof and Tamper-proof
Getting anything from your bathroom broken or stolen is never a pleasant experience. Having entire rolls of hand towels or toilet papers stolen or thrown around a bathroom is a big annoyance for cleaners, while also a waste of money.
It might be important to prioritise security over style when buying a paper hand towel holder if your location is more public. Lockable and sturdy dispensers will not only keep your paper hand towels and toilet paper safe from being stolen, they will also help prevent vandalism and waste.
Are Paper Towels or Hand Dryers More Sanitary?
According to a study report, paper towels are more effective in drying hands and removing bacteria compared to electric hand dryers. Paper towels also contaminate the bathroom area less when compared to dryers.

The Final Word
You should choose the paper hand towel dispenser or holder according to the needs of your venue. If it is a small bathroom then a smaller, compact model would suffice. It would not only save you the initial costs but also will be enough to sustain hygiene standards to. However, it is usually better to overcompensate on this estimate. Better too much than not enough.
You are not just investing in a hand paper towel dispenser, you are investing in a stress free hand cleaning experience. Getting it right first up, will save learning the hard way that you should have bought a better one, instead of having to buy twice.
