A well-designed washroom should feel clean, calm, and considered, not like standing beside a jet engine!
For years, that was the trade-off with high-speed hand dryers. If you wanted fast drying performance, you often had to accept excessive noise levels as part of the package. Fortunately, hand dryer technology has moved on.
Today’s leading commercial hand dryers are proving that speed, hygiene, energy efficiency, and quieter operation can comfortably coexist. That shift matters more than ever in hospitality, workplaces, education, and healthcare settings, where user experience increasingly influences how a space is perceived.
Quieter washrooms create a noticeably better experience for everyone.
For children, neurodivergent or hearing-sensitive users, excessive noise can make public washrooms uncomfortable or even inaccessible. Architects and other specifiers are increasingly prioritising quieter solutions that support a more inclusive user experience without sacrificing performance.
This is where QuietMark accreditation has become increasingly valuable. QuietMark certified products are independently assessed to verify lower operating noise levels without compromising performance, which gives specifiers greater confidence when selecting products for sensitive or high-traffic environments.
At SPL, we offer several high-performance low-noise solutions designed specifically for commercial projects:
- Supreme Dri Bubble – energy efficient, hygienic (comes with HEPA filter and UV-C sterilisation), QuietMark accredited, operating at just 67dBA @1m (Quiet Mode)
- Supreme Master Air – slimline, cost-effective, ‘Whisper Quiet’ for quieter washroom environments, operating at just 60dBA @1.5m
- Supreme Diamond-V – compact, sleek, energy-efficient and quiet, operating at only 72dBA @1m
- ffuuss One – high speed, hygienic (comes with HEPA filter), elegant and quiet, operating at only 70dBA @1.5m
Quiet hand dryers are no longer a niche specification. They are part of creating washrooms that feel functional, inclusive, and thoughtfully designed.
