| Bradley's Advocate Lavatory System  Bradley Corp. is set to launch its new Advocate Lavatory System, a personal handwashing station that provides an all-in-one experience, since access to water, soap and hand dryer are all available within a user's individual space. Bradley's exclusive and contemporary-looking design keeps all handwashing elements in immediate reach, so the user doesn't need to move, minimizing dripping water on the floor and wasted paper towels. This unique handwashing station, available June 2009, is also Bradley's most environmentally friendly lavatory system. The Advocate comes equipped with a water-conserving 0.38 gpm faucet, well below the 0.5 gpm required for public lavatories. In addition to being available in highly durable Terreon solid surface, the lavatory is also available in Terreon RE recycled solid surface material, which is comprised of 25% pre-consumer recycled content and a bio-based resin, and is one of the greenest product materials on the market. While most of the Advocate's components are recyclable - its stainless and trap covers also incorporate recycled content - the system also conserves energy. Not only does the Advocate utilize a highly efficient, low-energy consumption hand dryer, it incorporates Bradley's ndite technology, which uses photovoltaic cells in the top of the lavatory system that can store and use energy collected from normal restroom lighting in order to power the lavatory's sensors and valves. Therefore, the Advocate operates without electrical wiring or expensive batteries that need to be changed and eventually end up in landfills. In addition, its innovative and versatile design provides multi-height handwashing for user comfort. The Advocate is available in a variety of configurations, including single, two- and three-station units plus the accessory modules that consist of paper towel dispensers, waste receptacles and storage cabinets. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
