Is contactless technology the future of bathroom design?
With visitors becoming more concerned about their safety, a contactless bathroom design instils trust in them.
The epidemic, as well as the subsequent focus on social isolation, has underlined the need for new and innovative solutions to provide the greatest level of sanitation in public areas. Commercial toilets and bathrooms get far more traffic than private facilities. This necessitates the instillation of trust in the safety and hygiene of facilities such as restaurants and hotels that serve big groups of people.
The adoption of contactless bathroom technology is an excellent and rapidly accepted answer to these difficulties. To provide social separation and minimise contamination between users, contactless technology employs specialized sensors to replace manual operation in high-touch facilities such as faucets, dispensers, doors, and flushes. It fared well in both safety requirements and ease of use as an existing well-known technology, making it very significant in the hotel business.
Contactless technology, in addition to its high level of security, has a slew of other advantages that position it to revolutionise the hotel industry. Because contactless flushes and faucets may be configured to conserve water and avoid misuse, they are ecologically benign. With only one contactless bathroom with intelligent cutoff technology, a small hotel may save over 10,000 litres of water per year, which is both cost effective and ecologically friendly. In public toilets, contactless soap dispensers and hand dryers reduce waste of soap and tissue paper, lowering both overhead expenses and the hotel's carbon impact in one simple move.
The use of technology to streamline bathroom rooms minimises the requirement for general upkeep and sanitation. Dedicated people are required to clean, refill, and disinfect many traditional bathrooms on a daily basis. Contactless restrooms, on the other hand, provide a greater level of cleanliness by allowing for speedier cleaning and disinfection operations, as well as saving time with intelligent replenishment warnings as needed. This results in lower maintenance costs and increased production.
With visitors becoming more concerned about their safety, a contactless bathroom design instils trust in them. It promotes the hotel as a contemporary, responsive, and safe business, establishing a strong brand image and earning valuable customer confidence.
While the globe works feverishly to combat the epidemic, the 'new normal' will continue to evolve. The increased safety and hygiene requirements will be a critical component in determining the future performance of hospitality enterprises. It's reasonable to conclude that contactless technology is the future of bathroom design in this age of social alienation and cleanliness, and its effect on the hospitality industry will only expand.
