Right now, everyone is looking for ways to reduce the frequency of touch when away from home. Whether walking into the gym, visiting the doctor’s office, meeting with a lawyer, or dropping kids off at daycare, we are all faced with the risk of transmitting germs and bacteria by simply touching the surface of doors, handles, ledges, and more. As a business or commercial building owner, it is strongly encouraged to consider renovating your space to accommodate the need for touch-free technologies, amenities, and fixtures.
Continue reading to learn several hands-free and touch-free trends that are becoming exponentially popular in the commercial construction industry.
Entry Ways and Exits
From the moment someone walks into your building or store, there is an opportunity to go hands-free. There are the classics that work well, such as automatic doors and even revolving doors. Some more modern options currently topping the charts in the commercial construction world include foot-powered openers, video sensing door openers, and open-all-day garage doors or rolling doors.
Sanitizer Stations
Although already popular additions to medical facilities and fitness centers, touch-free hand sanitizer stations are becoming more popular for all kinds of businesses and industries. From hotels and day cares, to schools, libraries, retail stores, spas, and more, business owners are finding that strategic placing of hands-free hand sanitizer stations around your commercial space can have a great impact on hygiene and cleanliness among staff and guests. Consider putting them on the wall, in areas that see high traffic, or require the use of touch, such as doorways, entries, exits, restrooms, cafeterias, security points, front desks, registers, and common areas.
Bathrooms and Locker Rooms
Utility areas like bathrooms and locker rooms are likely to host higher amounts of bacteria and germs. For this reason, it is becoming second nature to provide hands-free options to reduce the frequency of touch. Such technologies and fixtures include automatic soap and shampoo dispensers, automatic hand dryers, motion-sensing faucets, automatic flushing toilets with automatic plastic seat covers, and even remote starters for showers. Some facilities have even incorporated remote unlocking for lockers, and have seen much success. Something as simple as a hands-free, foot press trash receptacle can make a difference.
