Rethinking public washrooms for a Post COVID-19 World

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the whole world and, although in various ways and measures, changed habits and use of people in high-traffic places and urban communities. Regular Occupancy Washrooms are the most important of these high-traffic spaces.  

 

 

It has become quite prevalent in recent times to introduce hands-free products and services to help curb the spread of COVID-19 to our loved ones. Therefore, it has become a priority to stop the spread from the root cause by reassessing current designs in public spaces. On ATS Spec Tool, you can find a catalogue of such products to help you rethink the design of high-traffic spaces.  

 

For regular occupancy washrooms, here are product recommendations to consider:
