Quiet Hand Dryers

Quiet hand dryers are sought primarily for their low noise output. Silent hand dryers are a product often enquired about when looking for a quiet solution, however while hand dryers have many great qualities from fast drying to unobtrusive levels of sound, completely silent hand dryers are not yet available. However, even though silent hand dryers are not yet an option, not all hand dryers produce the same levels of sound. To help you identify which are quiet hand dryers, Washroom Hub has created this category which lists all the hand dryers that produce 70 decibels or less when they are in use...

To give you some perspective as to what 70dB sounds like, just think of the noise generated by the buzz of a busy office or the inside of a car at 60mph. 60dB is the sound of a normal conversation and 80dB is the sound of a noisy restaurant or heavy traffic. A quiet hand dryer that is 70dB or below is unobtrusive and appropriate for noise sensitive areas such as places of worship, offices, hotels and theatres.

But how do you choose which quiet hand dryer is the right one for you? Or how do you know whether you need a quiet hand dryer for your workplace? Quiet hand dryers trade off some of their performance for a reduced noise output. The more powerful hand dryers result in a louder noise as their motors produce rapid air speed to blow water off the hands. The stronger the airflow the louder the hand dryer.

If you are looking to find an ultra-quiet hand dryer, the BlueDry Junior Hand Dryer generates just 60dB when in use. This hand dryer is also very affordable at just £44.99 and at such a small size it is suitable for all washrooms.  

Alternatively, there are some hand dryers such as the Biodrier Executive that offer an adjustable airflow speed, which means the sound output can be altered to offer an ultra-quiet hand dryer or a louder, yet more powerful hand dryer. This flexibility means that depending on the occasion the volume can be altered without needing to change the hand dryer.

Depending on your needs however, a quiet hand dryer might be more important that a powerful hand dryer. Alternatively, if you have well soundproofed bathrooms or washrooms that are separated from work areas, you may decide that power is more important than silent hand dryers. Alternatively, for noise sensitive locations, such as care homes or nurseries, a quiet hand dryer is the priority.
