Excel Dryer was thrilled to learn about Artists for Humanity (AFH) and all the great work they’ve accomplished. A unanimous thought echoed - A collaboration is in order!
We reached out to the talented and elated teen artists at AFH for the opportunity to bring to life custom art covers for the XLERATOR® Hand Dryers and XChanger® Combo kits located in restrooms spread across AFH’s Epicenter. The opulent Epicenter is spectacular in every measure! If you don’t know, now you know! This 23,500-square-foot venue is Boston’s first LEED Platinum-certified building, with numerous patrons willing to vouch for its irresistibly inviting charm.
“People see them, and they look almost like cool sculptural pieces, but you can still tell they are hand dryers—just the coolest hand dryers you’ve ever seen,” said Rich Frank, director of business development at AHF. “Plus, the dryers’ 100% ADA-compliant recess kits make the user experience welcoming, friendly, and easy; it’s probably the best bathroom experience in Boston.”
Over time, we’ve worked with numerous organizations, designing custom XLERATOR covers that cater to their needs. However, our collaboration with AFH represents our premier customization project involving original artwork. Leveraging digital image technology, we place the concerned artwork on high-resolution files, which our experts then infuse into our products to create unique masterpieces that reflect the ethos mirrored throughout the AFH building.
The AFH is synonymous with art-stained hands that must stay clean daily, creating the requirement for practical and hygienic drying solutions at the Epicenter. Enter the energy-efficient XLERATOR, a high-speed dryer with electrostatic HEPA filtration! Contributing to several LEED® credits and WELL® points while offering up to a 75% carbon footprint reduction compared to paper towels, the XLERATOR is BuildingGreen-approved and proudly Made in the United States.
Our partnership with AFH is the product of immensely talented individuals and ideas coming together to infuse two art forms, creating a truly unique and rewarding outcome! At Excel Dryer, we are proud to be a canvas to tomorrow’s imagination.
“This was such an awesome partnership, working together and contributing ideas,” said Jason Talbot, Co-founder and Managing Director of programs at AFH. “We didn’t know how beautiful the hand dryers would be, but when we saw them, our eyes were popping out of our heads. It was the talk of the building. Everybody was super excited to have these works of art helping us dry our hands and keep everybody healthy.”

]]>As climate change continues to worsen, it’s up to all of us to do our part in slowing it down. One way to put your best green foot forward is to install XLERATOR Hand Dryers in your facility’s restrooms. Did you know that paper towel drying averages more than 57 grams of carbon dioxide, compared to the less than 40 grams of carbon dioxide that high-speed hand dryers produce? In addition, every dryer in Excel Dryer’s high-efficiency product line, including the XLERATOR®, XLERATOReco®,and ThinAir® , use 80% less energy than conventional hand dryers.
The XLERATOR’s environmental benefits were seen firsthand by leaders of the America Free Zone (AFZ) in Costa Rica. After installing 200 XLERATOR Hand Dryers in its restrooms, the facility noticed reduced energy use and a lower carbon footprint.
Used paper towels strewn across a restroom is gross enough, but have you ever thought about whether paper towels are clean before you even wipe your hands on them? In a study published in the American Journal of Infection Control, researchers found that unused paper towels made from recycled fibers are home to between 100 and 1,000-fold more bacteria than a wood pulp brand. That means you may be getting germs on your hands right after you’ve washed.
XLERATOR Hand Dyers also use sensor activation, removing the need for physical touchpoints that could harbor germs. What’s more, XLERATOR can also come equipped with a HEPA filtration system that removes 99.999% of viruses and 99.97% of potentially present bacteria at 0.3 microns from the airstream.
Even the most sanitary environments trust XLERATOR Hand Dryers in their restrooms. For example, after researching electric hand drying solutions, Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago selected XLERATOR to be installed in its facility.
When the XLERATOR is in use in your commercial restroom, you’ll be saving money and spending less time on maintenance like never before. For example, with XLERATORs in use, you’ll reap a 95% cost savings versus paper towels. Just take Gillette Stadium, where 125 XLERATOR Hand Dryers are now in the place of over 6 million paper towels—providing a $50,000 annual cost savings.

As you solidify plans to build or renovate a commercial restroom, the question of hand dryer vs. paper towels may loom large. Let us save you some inner turmoil by recommending, with considerable authority, high-speed electric hand dryers. These are the wiser option for many reasons, including—in the case of industry leader Excel Dryer’s products—hygienic benefit.
In terms of cost, there’s little to debate; switching from paper towels to Excel Dryer’s well-known XLERATOR® results in a typical 95 percent cost savings. Facilities that value sustainable practices (and what company doesn’t?) appreciate XLERATOR for the minimal energy it expends (80 percent less than conventional dryers) and for the paper waste it dramatically reduces. As for hygiene and cleanliness, Excel Dryer’s line of high-efficiency hand dryers— including the XLERATOReco® and ThinAir® Hand Dryers in addition to the original XLERATOR—has you well covered there, too. Here’s what you get when you choose to “throw in the towel.”
A cleaner restroom
First and foremost, tossing the towel means tossing the trouble it makes—and that means a lot less labor, maintenance and waste. Facilities that stock paper towels often must deal with:
Hygienic design
By replacing paper towels with a restroom hand dryer, you’re helping to promote a hygienic environment. If that dryer is from Excel Dryer’s high-speed, energy-efficient product line, you’re doing even more—because the product itself is built for good, clean hand hygiene.
No touch needed
Their sensor-activated, hands-under style allows these automatic hand dryers to get the job done with zero human contact. Less touch in the entire hand hygiene process means less chance for cross-contamination between restroom surfaces, ultimately helping reduce the spread of germs.
Germ-inhibiting features
The basic design of XLERATOR and its product-line counterparts make for a hygienic hand dryer—but their manufacturer didn’t stop there. Excel Dryer offers the industry’s most complete line of optional accessories, including extra measures of hygienic defense. For example, its HEPA Filter removes 99.97% of potentially present bacteria at 0.3 microns from the air stream, making it a popular option. Microban® Wall Guards, made specifically to fit underneath the XLERATOR and equipped with a special antimicrobial coating, kill germs while protecting walls from water droplets. Both are sure items to consider when preparing your hand dryer spec.
Today, there’s no need to compromise when it comes to choosing the very best hand-drying solution. With the right hand dryer, your commercial restroom really can have it all.

As such, in recent years, no one is going to break ground on a new workplace, government service building, place of public accommodation or commercial facility without the ADA design standards at hand. But what about preexisting structures, ones built before ADA? Nearly three decades in, questions still tend to surround the obligation of these buildings to comply.
The confusion is understandable. With regard to an existing building, the policy states that any modifications must comply with ADA guidelines. Well, we have no modifications planned, a facilities owner or manager may think. This may be true—but if there are potential “architectural barriers” to accessibility anywhere on the premises, change is likely warranted. Unless the facility can prove that barrier removal would not be “readily achievable,” failure to remove it is noncompliance.
Because what constitutes an “architectural barrier” and its “readily achievable” removal are extremely case dependent, compliance determination can be, too. The best bet, therefore, is to readily achieve what you can. For example, do your restrooms meet ADA bathroom requirements? With more than a dozen specs to consider, Excel Dryer—a trusted Allied partner and longtime industry leader—provides an easy, cost-effective and sustainable place to start.
As manufacturer of the original, high-speed, energy-efficient, EPD Certified XLERATOR® Hand Dryer, Excel Dryer is committed to ensuring guideline adherence through innovative hand-drying technology. It was Excel Dryer that developed the first ADA compliant recess kit for a high-speed energy efficient hand dryer, an accessory that immediately makes any XLERATOR a bona fide ADA hand dryer. Next came the company’s XChanger® Combo Kit, allowing for a simple, damage-free retrofit of a paper towel dispenser to an XLERATOR.
More recently, Excel introduced its own fully ADA compliant hand dryer: the ThinAir® Hand Dryer. Using only 950 watts or less to dry hands fast, ThinAir protrudes only four inches from
the wall, in accordance with ADA guidelines for the visually impaired. It’s equipped with automatic sensors for no touch operation, exceeding the ADA requirement of a push-button that’s operational with one hand. ThinAir is accessible for both left-handed and right-handed users, another must for an ADA compliant bathroom. With installation at the recommended height of 37 inches above finished floor (AFF), ThinAir offers complete compliance with ADA bathroom regulations. Further, in addition to the original ABS polymer cover, this super-sleek appliance is available in brushed stainless steel and features a washable pre-filter to extend the life of the unit.
ThinAir and all models in Excel Dryer’s expanded and enhanced line of high-efficiency, EPD Certified hand dryers—the only hand dryers to be Made in USA Certified®—also offer:
As you work toward your facility’s total ADA compliance, count on Excel Dryer to take care of the business it knows best. Isn’t it time to throw in the towel?

Is your Dyson hand dryer is ADA compliant? Here are some important regulations to keep in mind.
What Does the ADA Require?
The ADA requires that all automatic hand dryers follow specific guidelines to make sure public spaces are handicap accessible. By law, all automatic hand dryers must meet two distinct requirements.
The first requirement dictates that the dryer needs to be strategically placed so that patrons can easily walk to and from the unit. For this reason, the ADA specifies that dryers cannot protrude from the wall more than 4 inches and must be in close proximity to sinks, bathroom stalls, urinals, trash receptacles, and other fixtures.
The second major requirement is the dryer must be mounted at a height that is easy to access by patrons of varying abilities. Specifically, all button and touch-free sensor dryers must be mounted at least 38 inches to 48 inches above the floor.
By ADA standards, an accessible restroom allows persons of varying abilities to access facilities. Wheelchair users must be able to easily enter and maneuver within public restroom facilities. Hand dryers and other fixtures must be placed along an unobstructed travel path.
How to Choose an ADA-Compliant Dryer
Choosing a suitable hand dryer is the key to maintaining ADA compliance. Dyson hand dryers are among the best ADA-compliant models thanks to innovative engineering, sleek design, and handy features. No matter which model you choose, all hand dryers must be mounted in accordance with ADA regulations and must meet local, state, and federal ordinances.
The best Dyson hand dryer models for ADA compliance include the Dyson AB14, which is a low profile, hand-in model that is easily accessed by anyone, including wheelchair users and children.
The popular Dyson HU02 V series dryer is a wall-mounted hand dryer that is not only ADA compliant but also LEED-certified.
The distinct Dyson Airblade Tap AB09 is a space-saving automatic hand dryer and faucet comb. The ADA compliant AB09 allows users to wash and dry hands all in one area and dries hands in as little as 14 seconds.

]]>Baby changing stations provide a safe and convenient place for parents and caregivers to take care of their child’s needs on the go, but exactly when are baby changing stations required?
When Are Baby Changing Stations Required?
Changing tables are required to be handicap accessible and available in male & female restrooms that are publicly accessible in federal buildings.
In addition to recommended outing heights and location suggestions, baby changing tables are also governed by federal acts, including the Bathrooms Accessible in Every Situation (BABIES) Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Requirements of the BABIES Act
Signed into law in 2016, the BABIES act recently took effect in 2018 and was created to guarantee that baby changing stations are always available in both male and female restrooms in federal buildings throughout the country.
Additionally, the BABIES act also applies to public places such as shopping malls, grocery stores and restaurants in the state of California. New York requires that any newly constructed or substantially renovated buildings include changing stations in men’s and women’s bathrooms.
ADA Changing Station Requirements
ADA requirements are somewhat like the BABIES Act, but the ADA has been in place since 1990. Per ADA guidelines, baby changing stations must be installed in all public restrooms, including buildings like libraries and recreation centers as well as restaurants, hotels, and arenas.
The ADA mandates that baby changing stations be present in both men’s and women’s restrooms and must be placed at a height of 27 inches from the floor. ADA regulations also state that baby changing stations must be located in an area that is easily accessible and free from obstructions.
Five Tips for ADA Compliance:
Allied is Here to Help
The ADA is intended to make sure all baby changing stations are safely installed and can be used by both non-disabled and disabled persons, including those who use wheelchairs or are visually impaired.
For the widest selection of ADA-compliant baby changing stations and expert advice, contact Allied at 1-800-535-4393.
]]>One of Dyson’s most popular models, the Airblade AB02 is a hand-in automatic hand dryer that dries hands in as little as 12 seconds and is more hygienic than push button dryers thanks to its touchless design. These durable hand dryers are ADA compliant, energy-efficient, and feature a powerful 1600-watt digital motor.
Genuine Dyson hand dryer filter replacements use the latest graded fleece filtration technology to remove up to 99.97% of pollen and other airborne contaminants as small as 0.3 microns. Under normal conditions, the integrated HEPA filters can last up to two years but there will come a time when the dual filters need to be replaced.
High-Efficiency HEPA Filtration
Dyson Airblade HEPA filters feature high-tech H13 filtration that effectively removes known irritants from the air during each dry cycle. Swapping out your filters is simple: remove the cover, unclip and remove the old filters, insert the new filters, close the unit, and now your dryer is ready to use. Dyson Airblade filters will filter efficiently for up to 700,000 dry cycles, which is ideal for high-traffic areas like restaurants, shopping malls or other public places.
Allied is a Top Replacement Filter Source
To keep your Dyson hand dryer performing at peak efficiency, the unit should be regularly inspected and maintained using authentic Dyson parts. If you notice decreased air output over time, it is probably time to replace the filters. The Dyson Airblade AB02 automatic hand dryer supports part item number DYP-965280-0, must be installed by a qualified electrician, and comes with two filters per pack, weighing less than a pound.

The Americans with Disabilities Act sets out clear guidelines for mounting automatic hand dryers in public spaces. Hand dryer height is an important part of the ADA.
Signed into law during the 1990s for the purpose of making public places accessible to all people – including the disabled – the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to all public buildings, requiring them to be handicap accessible.
ADA Guidelines for Automatic Hand Dryers
The ADA guarantees that disabled patrons can easily access walkways, restrooms, and all parts of any public space. The ADA’s guidelines extend to restrooms, requiring fixtures like hand dryers, stalls, and baby changing stations be installed so that all people have equal and unrestricted access.
Aside from ADA and Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) regulations, all automatic hand dryers must adhere to applicable local, state, and federal guidelines.
Building owners must undergo periodic inspections, so it’s important to make sure your dryer is up to code. Most modern hand dryer models also require installation by an electrician or a licensed and bonded contractor.
Tips for Proper Installation
So what’s the best way to make sure your automatic hand dryer is installed at the correct height and complies with all ADA regulations and applicable laws? By using the following tips, you can be sure that you remain in compliance and that all guests can safely and easily use your automatic hand dryer.
Research all relevant ordinances and ADA regulations pertaining to automatic hand dryers in public spaces. By knowing what is required ahead of time, you’ll avoid any potential problems and you can be sure all guests will be able to use your automatic dryer.
Determine if your model is suitable for either flush or recessed installation. There are differing guidelines for each installation type and some have more complicated installation steps that can only be performed by a professional or require specialized installation equipment.
While some hand dryers can be installed by anyone, others require the assistance of a professional, such as an electrician. Always read and follow all included installation instructions.
To comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines, all automatic hand dryers must be installed at a height no less than 27 inches from the floor and cannot protrude more than 4 from the wall or the recessed space.
Installing your automatic hand dryer is not only important for the safety and comfort of your guests, but it is also important for legal reasons. If a local, state or federal agency discovers that your hand dryer has not been installed or maintained to all Americans with Disabilities Act specifications, it can result in legal trouble and/or hefty fines. By researching ADA rules and consulting with professionals, you can protect your guests as well as your business.
If you need installation advice, the experts at Allied are here to help. With a huge selection of push-button and automatic hand dryers from the world’s top manufacturers, Allied offers free and fast shipping and a price match guarantee.
]]>In the United States, baby changing stations mounted in public places are governed by two acts: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).
Are Baby Changing Stations Required by Code?
Aside from ADA and CPSIA mandates, baby changing stations are also policed by local building codes. This gives both owners and consumers an added layer of protection and gives local authorities the right to inspect changing stations for compliance.
All baby changing stations come with specific mounting instructions designed to ensure your unit is installed according to compliance standards. The ADA has specific rules for the placement of changing stations. By following these 10 tips, you can be sure that your baby changing table is installed according to ADA guidelines and rules required by code:
Measure Your Space: Always take proper measurements of the intended space. This includes noting where sinks, stalls, hand dryers, and stationary trash receptacles are located.
Install at the Perfect Height: for horizontal changing stations, the ADA requires that the unit protrude no more than 4” from the wall and be no higher than 27 inches from the floor. This is required so patrons using wheelchairs can easily access the unit as well as open and close the changing station.
Location is Everything: Per the ADA, all baby changing stations must be installed in a location that has ample ground space so that patrons who use wheelchairs can easily access the unit
Mount the Station in an Open Space: ADA rules state that changing stations cannot be installed inside an individual bathroom stall. Instead, they must be placed in an area that is accessible to all patrons.
Maintain a Clear Route: When in the open position, baby changing stations should not obstruct the path leading to the unit. For this reason, changing stations shouldn’t be installed in hallways, vestibules, or any type of pathway.
For Single-Stall Restrooms: Baby changing stations can be mounted in single-stall unisex or family style restrooms if the unit is a proper distance away from other fixtures when open. (Ex: sinks, hand dryers, counters, etc.
Braille: To accommodate visually impaired persons, all baby changing stations must have braille usage instructions integrated into the polyethylene material of the unit. For stainless steel models, braille decals should be attached to the unit and must be purchased separately.
Brush up on Local, State, and Federal Guidelines: No matter where your business is located, all municipalities have specific zoning requirements that must be followed in addition to ADA and other government guidelines and laws.
Ongoing Maintenance: Regularly inspect each baby changing station in your facility. Doing this is a great way to make sure your changing stations function as intended and remain in compliance.
Consult a Professional: If you have questions about ADA specifications for changing stations, need replacement parts, or just need help choosing the right model, don’t be afraid to seek professional advice.
The Takeaway
When on the go, one thing parents appreciate is a public restroom that also has baby changing stations. Wall-mounted changing tables give parents a safe and sanitary place to change your child. Aside from being convenient, baby changing stations are also governed by several organizations and government agencies.
If you’re a business owner, you not only want to provide a safe place for patrons to change their children, you also want to make sure you remain in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.
With the best selection of ADA-compliant baby changing stations, the experts at Allied are available to answer your installation questions as well as assist in selecting a unit and purchase replacement parts. Give the professionals at Allied a call at 1-800-535-4393.

The Dyson Airblade AB06 is a powerful touchless hand dryer that boasts 12 second dry time, a sleek outer housing, and superior filtration.
How does 2-Stage HEPA Filtration Work?
The 2-stage HEPA filtration used in Dyson dryers efficiently minimizes exposure to airborne contaminants and irritants. Utilizing H13 filtration, each Dyson replacement filter is ASTM rated and removes up to 99.97% of airborne particulates and 99.99% of harmful bacteria.
Dyson replacement filters have been totally redesigned for the Airblade AB06 and undergo extensive testing to ensure that particles as small as 0.3 are trapped, reducing exposure to allergens, increasing safety, and improving sanitation. These filters offer extended life and can last up to 700,000 dry cycles, requiring replacement only every 1 to 2 years.
Changing The Filters in Your Dyson AB06 Dryer
Though replacement HEPA filters can be easily ordered online or by phone, replacing the filters in your Dyson Airblade AB06 automatic dryers require assistance from an experienced electrician.
The filters are shipped in packages of 2 and include the necessary tools for replacement.

Dyson’s Unique 2-Stage Filtration System
Dyson AB14 dryers feature a dual filter system that lasts for up to 700,000 dry cycles. Extended life cartridges only need to be replaced every 1 to 2 years, so the dryer filters effectively for longer periods of time.
