Commonly Asked Questions About Towel Dispensers

When setting up your handwashing area, essential items like sinks and soap dispensers typically take center stage. But what about towel dispensers? They come in a variety of styles, and choosing the right one can be confusing. After all, towel dispensers play a crucial role in maintaining proper hygiene in any facility. Investing in the right dispenser is key to ensuring cleanliness. In this article, we'll address five common questions about towel dispensers and offer some IMC product recommendations where applicable. Let's start with the basics. **1. Is There Actually a Difference Between Rolled and Folded Towel Dispensers?** Absolutely! Here are the main distinctions: - **Rolled Towels**: These are ideal for high-traffic areas. If you expect a lot of users, rolled paper towel dispensers are the better option. They’re made from eco-friendly brown Kraft paper, making them an environmentally conscious choice. - **Folded Towels**: While both types are hygienic, folded towel dispensers are slightly more so because the individual sheets minimize direct contact. Additionally, these dispensers tend to be smaller and sleeker, enhancing the overall aesthetics. Ultimately, both rolled and folded options serve the same purpose—dispensing towels. Your choice will depend on your personal preference and how it fits into your overall design. Regardless of which you choose, ensure the dispenser is made entirely of stainless steel for maximum durability. --- **2. If I Choose a Folded Paper Towel Dispenser, What’s the Difference Between C-Fold and M-Fold Towels? Is One Better Than the Other?** C-fold towels have two folds and aren’t designed to interlock. Instead, they lie flat on top of each other. M-fold (or multifold) towels also have two folds but are folded in opposite directions, allowing them to interlock. This means you can fit more towels in the dispenser. C-fold towels are easier to grab in bulk, but users may need to unfold them manually. M-fold towels dispense one at a time and come pre-opened, reducing waste. Here’s a quick comparison:  --- **3. Should I Opt for an Automatic or Manual Towel Dispenser?** Automatic dispensers are more sanitary due to their hands-free design. They also help reduce waste by dispensing fixed-length towels. However, they come with higher upfront costs and maintenance needs. Manual dispensers are more traditional and budget-friendly. Yet, they lack control over how many towels are dispensed, raising concerns about cross-contamination. IMC provides both types. Their **Model #TD-AR** is an automatic towel dispenser that can handle rolls up to 800 feet long. --- **4. I Need to Save Space. Are There Combined Soap and Paper Towel Dispensers Available?** Handwashing isn’t complete without soap. A combined soap and paper towel dispenser offers convenience by placing soap and towels near the sink. These units prevent spills and messes while keeping everything tidy. IMC offers two models: **Model #ITSD** and **Model #ITSD-2**. The ITSD features a hinged door with an optional lock for easy refills. The ITSD-2 enhances this with side splashes and a more compact design. --- **5. My Facility Must Comply with ADA Regulations for Hand Washing. Where Do I Begin?** To meet ADA compliance, you’ll need specific equipment tailored to accessible design standards. For instance, sinks should be no taller than 34 inches, provide knee clearance, and have an extended deck. Sinks must also have no exposed pipes and enough room in front. Faucets should be lever or touchless. Soap dispensers should sit no higher than 44 inches from the ground. When it comes to towel dispensers, they should integrate seamlessly with the sink. IMC’s **Model #ADA** combines the dispenser with the sink, often mounted on the side for easy access. --- Towel dispensers are more than just functional—they contribute significantly to maintaining a clean environment. Whether you opt for rolled or folded, automatic or manual, the choice depends on your facility’s needs and aesthetics.
