Urinals become essential when it comes to designing the sanitation structure in commercial areas such as office buildings, malls, schools, airports, or in a clean region. Selecting a proper urinal toilet not only affects the hygienic conditions and the comfort of the users but also minimizes the amount of maintenance and water required.
At Ruhe, we realize that business ventures require durability, efficiency, and simple maintenance, but still need to be eye-pleasing. However, in this guide, we will take you through some of the most important considerations that you should make when seeking to get the best urinal for men in those high-footfall places or commercial centers.
1. Understand the Types of Urinals
Before choosing the right fit for your project, it's important to understand the common types of urinal toilets available:
- Wall-Hung Urinals: The most convenient and space-efficient urinals, which are most common in commercial areas. They are easy to clean around, and are mounted at different heights to accommodate users of different ages.
- Floor Standing Urinals: They are found mostly in public toilets that are subject to high traffic. They are also better in offering splash protection and can be used where water pressure is not consistent.
- Sensor-Based (touchless) Urinals: These are ideally designed urinals that are very convenient when used in modern commercial applications because they keep places hygienic without touching them, and they save on water through intelligent flushing.
- Partitioned Urinals: The partitioned or segmented urinals are good where privacy is required, but the place is not private such as in Office bathrooms.
2. Assess the Installation Requirements
Every commercial project has its unique plumbing and space considerations. Urinals should be chosen based on:
- Water Inlet Type (top inlet or back inlet)
- Waste Outlet Position (wall outlet or floor outlet)
- Wall Structure and Material (reinforced wall for wall-hung models)
At Ruhe, our urinals come with flexible design options that match modern plumbing setups and simplify the installation process.
3. Choose Materials That Last
The material of your urinal bowl greatly influences its durability and ease of maintenance. Vitreous china is the most preferred option as it is:
- Non–porous and sterile to clean easily
- Not susceptible to stains and absorbing of odour
- Long-lasting to be used on busy toilets
Ruhe also provides the best quality of vitreous ceramic urinals, which can withstand a high load and retain their glow and cleanliness with each passing time.
4. Go for Water-Saving Features
Commercial washrooms see high footfall, and water conservation becomes a critical concern. Opting for urinals with:
- Low-flow flushing
- Smart or sensor flush systems
- Waterless urinal systems
Ruhe can significantly reduce the water footprint of your facility. Ruhe offers both standard and sensor-operated urinal toilets that help conserve water while ensuring hygiene.
5. Odour and Hygiene control
Communicating and commercial toilets have to be of a high standard of hygiene. Seek out the following features:
- Bacterial-resistant tripping glaze/coatings
- Spill-proof trap design to prevent backflow or splash
- Proper trap ventilations or drain fittings to prevent backflow or splash
- Good flushing mechanisms that clean the bowls thoroughly
Ruhe urinals have been designed to be hygienically efficient, and the flushing mechanisms as well as designs have been created with the precision necessary to make maintenance of the area hygienically convenient.
6. Aesthetics and Uniformity
Whereas the effectiveness of the urinal is important, the design of the urinal that men would use is also paramount, particularly in offices, banks, hotels, or other luxurious stores. By uniformity with the rest of the bath fittings (basins, partitions, and flushing panels), matching the urinals with other bathroom fittings creates visual harmony.
The urinals made by Ruhe are of modern slim design to fit the modern interior and enhance the general appearance of your commercial toilet.
7. Ease of Maintenance
Choose urinals that are:
- Easy to access for repairs
- Compatible with standard spares
- Designed for quick cleaning
This helps reduce long-term maintenance costs. The installation of Ruhe urinals has been designed with convenient places of use, and their easily accessible parts, which makes them the most suitable urinals to be utilized in high-maintenance environments.
