Today, hygiene has become a very important issue. To meet this need, public spaces are increasingly using contactless technologies, especially for washrooms where the high frequency of use requires answers that guarantee safety and cleanliness.
This means that designers and installers must take into account many user-centred and technical/functional requirements in high-traffic facilities.
One very interesting solution are electronic urinals that allow users to control the flush without having to physically touch anything, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. In addition, electronic urinals are also energy and water-saving efficient, as they only deliver water when it is needed and in very limited quantities.
It is therefore important to consider various aspects when choosing a urinal, such as technical features, costs (in the short and long term) and user safety.
Technical characteristics
Not all urinals are the same. Technical characteristics such as shape and flushing options can vary and have pros and cons, which you can find out about in the post 'Types of urinals for public installations'. Some are larger, some are rounded, and some are square or rectangular. The important thing is that they are ergonomic to ensure better cleanliness and hygiene. Before selecting urinals, it is important to measure the area where they will be installed and consider how many urinals to install to find the best solution. In fact, urinals require less space than a toilet and can be separated by simple panels, allow space to be used more efficiently and accommodate a greater number of users with a consequent reduction in waiting time.
Savings
One has to consider the cost and the savings that can be achieved through less wasted water and energy. The best solution is to look for practical, well-designed urinals like ours, which are durable and save water and energy through electronic or timed control. Using less water results in savings in running costs and of course less impact on the environment.
Safety and user experience
Manual urinals still exist, but to ensure better safety and hygiene for users we recommend choosing timed or electronic solutions. The big difference between the different systems is that those with infrared sensors release the water after each use and some, like our 02524 Ceramic STYLE Series Electronic Urinals, have an automatic flush system every 24 hours that reduces the risk of germs and bacteria growth.
Idral's electronic urinals improve hygiene in any public or commercial washroom, are manufactured to give great performance, are long lasting and easy to install, all while saving water, time and money.
