Touchless and Sensor Faucet Technology for Modern Bathrooms

Specifying Automatic Faucets in Workplace Projects

Touchless (sensor) faucets, which turn water on and off using motion, proximity, or capacitive sensing, have moved from hospitals and high traffic public restrooms into homes, offices, and hotels. They offer clear benefits for hygiene, water savings, and convenience, but they also introduce new considerations for design, power, and maintenance. This article explains how sensor … Read more

Supply Line Configuration and Under-Sink Installation Ergonomics

In bathroom design, the faucet spout is often selected late after the basin, countertop, and finishes are already fixed. Yet the spout is where design intent finally meets water, motion, and daily use. When the choice is correct, it fades into the background. When it is not, it becomes a constant source of splash, noise, … Read more
