Why You Need Multi-Station Hand Sinks in Your Commercial Facility
There are standard hand sinks that only allow one user at a time & then there are multi-station hand sinks that allow for multiple users. Are there any advantages of using one over the other? The user benefits are more important than you might think.
In this article, we’ll go over the advantages of having a multi-station hand sink installed in your facility & give you some buying tips to aid you in your search. Let’s jump in.
Multi-Station Hand Sinks: The Ultimate Time Saver
The truth of the matter is multi-station hand sinks are perfect for commercial applications. The main advantage of a multi-station sink is that your staff does not have to wait their turn to wash their hands. This is especially important in a high volume, busy environment where time is of the essence. This is thanks to the multiple faucets & a wide sink bowl allowing more than one person to use the sink at a time. This leads to less wait times & improved productivity from your staff.
What Are the Features?
IMC multi-station hand sinks are constructed from durable 16GA stainless steel type 300 series with rolled front & ends. Each IMC multi-station hand sink includes a 10″ high backsplash to accommodate optional faucets & soap dispensers as required. Standard gooseneck faucets are included with the unit. Touchless, electronic variants of the faucets & soap dispensers are available to give you the most sanitary experience.
IMC multi-station hand sinks are versatile when it comes to installation. The standard installation is wall mounted to save you floor space, but optional adjustable tubular legs can be fitted to your sink to convert it to a free-standing unit. Depending on the width of your multi-station hand sink (51″W – 101″W), the number of faucet holes will vary from 2-4. All multi-station hand sinks have a sink bowl depth of 7″, so there is plenty of room to wash up.
Can You Get by With Just a Standard Hand Sink?
Sure you can, but think about the nature of your business & the amount of staff employed. Having a couple of single user hand sinks set up for dozens (sometimes hundreds) of staff members is inefficient. It’s a common fact that no one likes to stand in line for anything. Multi-station hand sinks alleviate this problem.
Multi-station hand sinks also help to promote cleanliness & hygiene on a larger scale, which is ideal in today’s new normal. Giving your staff a convenient way of washing their hands gives a better impression of your business & gives employees peace of mind.
At IMC/Teddy, we continue to manufacture hand sinks to help your maintain facility safety & hygiene. With the recent outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), washing has become the most important task in any commercial facility.
