Towel Dispensers: What You Need to Know
Choosing the right commercial paper towel holder for your establishment can improve sanitation and optimize your paper towel usage. We carry hand towel dispensers that accommodate the three most common paper towel types, which are round roll, C-fold, and multifold. C-fold paper towels have two folds that result in a shape resembling the letter C, while multifold towels form a zigzag shape, creating an interlocking chain of towels to facilitate dispensing.
Whichever style of hand towel dispenser you prefer, we can help you find the best option for your restrooms and other areas that need hand towels. We carry everything from automatic dispensers to simple countertop commercial paper towel holders so that you can find the style that works best in your space. Towel dispensers are necessary in every washroom, and if you choose the right pieces, they can last you a very long time.
Common Questions About Paper Towel Dispensers
What options do I have for touch-free automatic towel dispensers?
KaTom offers many different options for touch-free automatic paper towel dispensers that work with roll-style towels. These products are powered either by batteries or an electrical power supply; the former requires operators to replace the batteries periodically, while the latter involves further engineering during installation, as well as appropriate utilities. Depending on the specific requirements of your establishment, one may be preferable to the other. Check the product specification page for more information on what's needed to power your desired product.
Should I get rolled or folded paper towels?
Paper towel rolls can be dispensed by a lever, crank, or an automatic sensor that dispenses the towel for the user. The automatic sensor is widely used since it's the most sanitary option and also reduces waste. With the automatic paper towel dispenser, the same length of paper towel will dispense with each use instead of the user tearing off an approximate amount.
Folded paper towel dispensers are the other primary option. Folded paper towels are very space efficient, meaning you can fit more towels in a hand towel dispenser at a time and reduce the frequency with which you'll need to refill it. Be sure to read the product description to find out what type of paper towels will work with the dispenser you choose.
Which commercial paper towel dispensers can prevent vandalism?
If you're worried about product vandalism, consider our stainless steel options. Since plastic products are easy to scratch, they're also likely to be vandalized. Stainless steel is much harder to scratch, and there are ways to repair stainless steel if it's damaged. This can give you more confidence in the longevity of your product.
What are the different installation options for paper towel dispensers?
Different-sized rooms will call for a different style of installation for your paper towel dispensers. KaTom carries three dispenser installation options. For areas with more countertop space, a countertop dispenser would likely be a good fit. In this style, the paper towels are recessed into the countertop, and users pull them straight up for use.
A second option is a wall-mounted unit. These products are installed on a wall and stick out from 4 to 12 inches. If you don't want your dispenser sticking out of the wall, you may prefer the third option: a recessed paper towel dispenser. These products help save counterspace by being installed into the wall, and some even offer a bottom part designed to act as a trash can.
