Start with demand
Estimate traffic at ordinary and peak periods, then consider the number and location of fixtures. Queues, splash zones and circulation space may matter more than a small difference in a headline drying time.
Map the wider washroom too: room volume, extraction, door position, cleaning regime and the needs of users with different mobility, reach and sensory requirements.
Review the technical fit
Check electrical supply, product dimensions, mounting requirements, power consumption, acoustic performance and suitable finishes. In demanding environments, construction and resistance to repeated use should form part of the evaluation.
Where air treatment is part of the brief, separate the claims made about drying from those made about environmental air treatment. Ask how each airflow operates and request the evidence and limitations behind performance statements.
Calculate maintenance and lifetime cost
Purchase price is only one part of the decision. Include energy, consumables, planned servicing, replacement parts, cleaning time and expected product life. Where a lamp is used, confirm its service interval and how replacement will be managed across the estate.
A standardised product can simplify procurement, but the quantity and product type should still reflect each room. Phased rollouts can help facilities teams test installation, maintenance and user response before wider deployment.
Make an informed choice
Record why the chosen product is suitable, which evidence was reviewed and what assumptions were made about traffic and operation. Check the latest installation and maintenance information before ordering.
