Pros And Cons Of Fold Towel Dispensers
One of the more common types of paper towel dispensers is the fold towel dispenser (with the roll towel dispenser being the other more commonly found type). If you are considering purchasing one of these, there are some things you should know.
On the pro side, fold towel dispensers tend to be one of the less expensive options for paper towel dispensers. You can find some small dispensers that can be used for bathrooms that don't get a lot of traffic for about $20. Of course prices go up from there and can go into the hundreds of dollars depending on the size and features that are included.
On the con side, fold towel dispensers tend to lead to a lot of paper towel wastage. Wet hands lead to wet towels, and these rip easily when people try to remove them from the dispenser. Also, people tend to take more of folded paper towels and use them without unfolding them, resulting in a lot of waste. A roll towel dispenser tends to be less wasteful.

Another issue with this type of paper towel dispenser is how often it needs to be refilled. If you get a small one, you will most likely find out that you are constantly needing to refill it, which can get to be annoying. However, very large options can be purchased if you want to spend hundreds of dollars, and these can hold more and thus need to be filled less often. Many of these also have the waste receptacle right underneath for people to throw their used towels away. Of course unused towels might sometimes fall down into this receptacle as well, causing more waste. If you do decide to go with folded towels, the multi-fold towels tend to dispense better than either the single fold or c-fold towels, so you might want to look for a dispenser that takes these kinds of towels. This will help you to limit waste a little bit. Keep in mind that stainless steel options are a lot sturdier than plastic, and a lot less likely to get broken. You might want to invest in one of these, even if you like the look of those made out of plastic since they will last longer. |
