Hardwound roll towels are the workhorse of commercial washrooms and kitchens. This guide outlines how to select the right roll length, towel quality, and dispenser for your facility.
Economy towels are cost-effective for back-of-house and low-visibility areas. Premium towels improve user satisfaction in front-of-house and customer-facing washrooms.
Most hardwound towels are single-ply but differ in thickness and strength. Heavier basis weight increases absorbency and perceived quality.
Longer rolls reduce change-outs and are ideal for high-traffic locations. Standard rolls fit smaller dispensers and are sufficient for lower-use areas.
Ensure roll core size matches your dispensers. Many systems use proprietary cores, so towel and dispenser compatibility is critical.
Simple, mechanical systems that are easy to maintain. Users control the amount dispensed, which can influence usage.
Sensor-activated units improve hygiene and allow preset sheet lengths to manage cost-per-use. Battery maintenance must be included in your cleaning routines.
Controlled-use dispensers limit the length of each towel, reducing waste. Non-controlled systems allow users to take as much as they want but can increase consumption.
