Types of paper towel dispensers

There are many types of dispensers that offer much convenience to users especially when traffic and space are put into consideration.

Under-the-cabinet dispenser – Places like hotels, churches and some establishments have sufficient restroom space to allow counter tops and multiple numbers of sinks. Therefore, towel dispensers are just deposited on counter tops. But for places with limited space, an under-the-cabinet dispenser is commonly used. This is mounted under the cabinet using screws.

Wall-mounted dispenser – Most likely, this is the most commonly used restroom equipment. Mounted by using screws, this dispenser saves more space and gives more convenience to users when pulling out towels.

Automatic dispenser – It is outfitted with motion sensors that allow the dispensing of paper towels per sheet in a set length. This type of dispenser is commonly used in high traffic restrooms.
