Sensor Innovations in Restroom Design: Reducing Bacterial Transfer with Bradley’s Verge® with WashBar®
Public restrooms in spaces like airports, universities, and office buildings face a critical challenge: reducing the spread of bacteria. The frequent use of these facilities and the high number of touchpoints on fixtures contribute significantly to bacterial transfer. Traditional setups—where users move from soap dispensers to faucets and then hand dryers or paper towels—create multiple opportunities for cross-contamination between surfaces.
Bradley Company's Verge® with WashBar® addresses this by integrating soap, water, and drying into a single, touch-free system, minimizing the need for users to touch multiple surfaces. FacilitiesNet/NFMT highlights that sensor-based fixtures like the WashBar® are key to reducing bacterial transfer in restrooms. The touch-free functionality not only improves hygiene but also enhances user experience by reducing time spent at the sink, improving restroom flow in high-traffic areas. As a plus for facilities aiming for an even more hygienic surface, the Verge® with WashBar® utilizes Evero® Quartz lavatory counters, an anti-microbial material that inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Beyond hygiene, the Verge® with WashBar® also helps improve efficiency and sustainability by reducing water and soap waste and streamlining maintenance. As noted by Cleaning & Maintenance Management, sensor-driven fixtures help control water consumption while promoting a more organized and sanitary restroom environment, benefiting both users and facility managers alike.
As facilities face increasing pressure to balance hygiene with environmental responsibility, the Verge® with WashBar® provides a sustainable solution. According to Business Research Insights, the commercial paper towel market is expected to see continued growth as businesses increase their use of disposable products. While this reflects broader demand, it also highlights a growing dependence on unsustainable practices, allowing sensor-based technologies like the WashBar® to promote a solution with longevity; the environment at the forefront of thinking.
While public facilities continue to adapt to heightened health and hygiene concerns, sensor innovations like the WashBar® are at the forefront of modern restroom solutions. By combining touch-free technology with sustainability, the WashBar® sets a new standard for safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly public restrooms.
