With businesses looking to reduce their costs but still provide quality, the chances of choosing metal washroom products may be limited. The cost of metal washroom dispensers may initially be high therefore may be seen as an unnecessary cost at this time. However, investing in metal can actually save business’ money in the long-run.
Here at Dudley Industries, we’ve been thinking about the benefits of metal fabrication, it is often wrongly disregarded as a potentially expensive solution, but we believe there are significant advantages for choosing metal that can help your business.
Our ethos is always quality and ensuring the longevity of our products. We firmly believe that manufacturing a product to provide many years of service is the best and most cost-effective outcome for our clients. During a time like now, opting for the long-lasting solution as opposed to a quick fix may sound uncertain, however, with years of past experience working with a range of different clients we understand the advantages to investing in high quality metal washroom accessories for a long-term solution.
There are many significant environmental advantages that come from producing long lasting quality products, even when our products do reach the end of their life they are fully, 100% recyclable. In fact, most metals can be recycled numerous times ensuring nothing goes to waste. Did you know that most stainless steel is made up of 60% re-cycled content? According the British Stainless Steel Association 27m tonnes of stainless steel was produced in 2007, of which approximately 16m tonnes was re-cycled or other materials. And as we use more and more steel the re-cycled content will only increase.
At Dudley Industries, we are proud to use AbbeySteelTM an innovative solution which re-uses waste steel from the Automotive Industry and re-purposes it. An even more environmentally friendly alternative to recycling as it only uses fuel for transportation and re-purposing and doesn’t require smelting in a furnace.
In areas where air quality is important metals do not emit Volatile Organic Compounds which are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids and include a variety of chemicals, that can potentially affect the health of your washroom users. Within indoor areas, concentrations of VOCs can be up to 10 times higher than outdoors therefore it’s important possible to reduce the risks of VOCs by utilising high quality metal washroom dispensers from the start.
Particularly within a washroom environment having impeccable hygiene levels is essential. Metal can be efficiently steam cleaned to provide the highest standards of cleanliness. Stainless Steel is the choice for water storage and pipework as it helps to prevent bacterial biofilms forming on the surface. Read our full guide on how to clean stainless steel effectively.
Accidents happen, and vandalism is unfortunately a common occurrence, so a strong, durable metal construction ensures washroom products survive even in the toughest conditions. Better yet, the aesthetic appeal of a washroom fitted with metal washroom dispensers is undeniable. If you’re specifying fixtures and fittings for longevity, why choose anything other than metal both for its beauty and durability
We’re convinced of the benefits and beauty of metal and we hope we’ve convinced you too. Regardless of the initial cost, it’s important to note you’re investing in unbeatable quality washroom solutions that’ll last a lifetime.
