This comprehensive Division 10 resource explores how regional factors—climate, building codes, design preferences, and sustainability requirements—significantly impact commercial toilet partition specifications across the United States. The guide provides architects, contractors, developers, and facility managers with expert insights for making informed material selections and specification decisions that ensure ADA compliance, optimize performance, and deliver long-term value.

This blog post examines the remarkable evolution of commercial hand dryers from slow, energy-intensive warm air models to today's high-speed, eco-friendly fixtures that are essential for LEED-certified buildings. It explores five key trends driving modern selection decisions—sustainability requirements, enhanced hygiene features like HEPA filtration, ADA compliance, noise reduction technology, and smart restroom integration. The article profiles innovations from six leading manufacturers (Dyson, Excel Dryer, World Dryer, Bobrick, Bradley Corporation, and AirDri), highlighting their unique technologies and benefits. It also looks ahead to emerging capabilities including advanced air purification, biometric integration, and sustainable materials. Designed for architects, contractors, and facility managers, the post provides a practical seven-point framework for specifying hand dryers that balance performance, compliance, user experience, and total cost of ownership across commercial, healthcare, education, and hospitality applications.

At present, Federal law does not require that each and every public restroom be equipped with a baby changing station. However, many restaurants, hospitality establishments, and other public-facing business types provide them as a way to improve customer service. That means having baby stations is a smart move if you intend to run a business.

Furthermore, if you do decide to utilize these types of accommodations- and we recommend that you do- the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) has laid out some specific guidelines for baby changing stations. These regulations are designed to make these items safe to use both for the infant being changed and the parent using them, and to be safe and usable by persons with disabilities.
