At ProDryers, we offer a diverse selection of ADA-compliant hand dryers that combine affordability with superior customer support. Our team is dedicated to helping you select the right hand dryer that meets both your budget and accessibility needs.

ADA compliance for hand dryers is achieved through specific design and installation features:

Protrusion from the Wall: Hand dryers should not extend more than 4 inches from the wall to ensure safety and accessibility.

Mounting Height: Controls such as buttons or sensors must be installed between 38 to 48 inches above the floor, making them accessible to all users, including those in wheelchairs.

Cane Detection: When a hand dryer protrudes more than 4 inches, it must be mounted so that part of it is at least 27 inches above the floor to allow visually impaired individuals to detect it with a cane.

Understanding ADA Hand Dryers and Compliance for Your Business

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures that individuals with disabilities have equal access to facilities, including restrooms. For business owners, it’s important to ensure that your hand dryers are ADA-compliant to meet legal requirements and provide accessibility for all users.

ADA compliance is typically achieved by adhering to specific installation guidelines, such as mounting height and depth from the wall. It’s crucial to note that being ADA-compliant does not always mean a product is fully handicap-accessible, though the two concepts are related. To learn more about the distinctions, visit our educational resource page, where we clarify these important terms.

What Makes a Hand Dryer ADA-Compliant?

An ADA-compliant hand dryer typically adheres to strict installation criteria:

  • Mounting Height and Depth: The dryer should not protrude more than 4 inches from the wall to ensure the safety of visually impaired users and provide easy access to those in wheelchairs. Additionally, the unit should be mounted at an appropriate height—usually less than 48 inches above the floor to meet ADA guidelines.
  • Color and Visibility: In some cases, the color and contrast of the dryer can help visually impaired users locate it more easily.

While many of the hand dryers we offer are surface-mounted, ADA hand dryers are designed to be thin, or recessed, ensuring they meet the necessary depth requirements. Below are some key options to help you achieve ADA compliance:

ADA Hand Dryer Solutions

  • Recess Kits: For standard hand dryers mounted higher than 26 inches, you can use a recess kit to ensure the dryer doesn’t extend more than 4 inches from the wall. This is a common solution for ADA compliance.
  • Slim, Surface-Mounted Hand Dryers: For businesses seeking ADA compliance with a sleek and modern design, slim surface-mounted hand dryers are an excellent option. These units are less than 4 inches deep, ensuring they meet ADA protrusion requirements. Popular models include the World Dryer SlimDri, World Dryer VERDEdri, Excel Dryer ThinAir, Dyson Airblade V, and Bobrick Trimline. Each of these hand dryers offers powerful performance while maintaining a slim profile, making them ideal for small or high-traffic restrooms where space and accessibility are key concerns.
  • Vertical Style Hand Dryers: Some modern solutions include vertical-style hand dryers like the Saniflow Dualflow Plus, which offer fast drying times and are ADA-compliant by design, often installed at appropriate heights for ease of use.
  • ADA Wall Guards: For an innovative option, consider the American Dryer ADA Wall Guard. This accessory is mounted below any compatible American Dryer model, ensuring ADA compliance while protecting walls and floors from water damage. It’s a versatile solution to retrofit existing units without needing to replace them.
