Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Atlantic Blue color meet accessibility standards for Australian public facilities?
Yes, the Atlantic Blue finish provides excellent visual contrast against typical Australian commercial washroom surfaces, supporting the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act and AS1428 guidelines for accessibility. The distinctive blue color helps visitors with visual impairments more easily locate the hand drying facility, particularly valuable in aged care and healthcare installations.
How does the colored ABS casing affect energy consumption in hot Australian conditions?
The Atlantic Blue ABS casing incorporates specialized thermal management properties that prevent excessive heat absorption common in darker-colored materials. Testing in Northern Territory installations demonstrated that the blue unit maintains similar operating temperatures to white alternatives even in ambient conditions above 35°C. This thermal management ensures consistent performance and energy efficiency regardless of seasonal temperature variations.
Is the Atlantic Blue model appropriate for promoting water conservation messaging in Australian facilities?
Absolutely. Many Australian businesses in water-conscious regions use the Atlantic Blue model as part of their environmental messaging. The blue color creates an intuitive association with water conservation, complementing educational signage about the unit's water-saving benefits. The integrated water collection system prevents wastage from dripping on floors, aligning with Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) principles increasingly important in drought-affected Australian regions.
