• Long-term durability in high-traffic environments

Compared to satin stainless models, the bright finish provides a more reflective, high-end aesthetic ideal for upscale commercial restrooms.


HEPA Filtration for Cleaner Airflow

The integrated HEPA filter medium cartridge captures suspended airborne particles such as:

This improves restroom air quality while maintaining high-speed drying performance.

Optional odor neutralizer tablets are available for enhanced restroom freshness.
