Across New Zealand, schools are rethinking the design and upkeep of their bathroom facilities. The focus is increasingly on creating washrooms that are clean, efficient, and sustainable, while also reducing long-term maintenance costs. This has led to a strong move away from paper towels and towards hand dryers, with the Supreme Airforce proving to be a popular choice.
From Tangiteroria School in Northland to Clutha Valley School in Otago, principals and boards are choosing to futureproof their facilities with hand dryers. Sacred Heart College in Hamilton recently installed Supreme Airforce dryers as part of a major upgrade, achieving reduced waste, lower running costs, and consistently clean washroom environments.
Schools are recognising the clear advantages:
- Cleaner washrooms with no overflowing bins or paper towel litter
- Improved hygiene thanks to touch-free operation
- Fast 12-second drying time that keeps student flow moving
- Low energy consumption for sustainable operation
- Cost savings by eliminating ongoing paper towel supply and disposal
- Reduced maintenance as towel-related blockages and clogs are eliminated
- Durable, vandal-resistant design built for heavy school use
For school boards and architects, the numbers stack up. The initial investment in hand dryers quickly pays for itself compared to the ongoing cost of paper towels. We have an online calculator which allows you to do the math for your space. Beyond the savings, they ensure modern, hygienic, and efficient washrooms that meet the needs of today’s education environments.
