What materials are used in Frost paper towel dispensers?

- Stainless Steel: Models like 101-1, 109-60P, and 109-70S use 20–22 gauge type 430 or 304 stainless steel with a brushed finish for durability and fire protection.
- Powder-Coated Steel: Models like 101 and 103 use 20–24 gauge cold-rolled steel with white or chrome epoxy finishes, ideal for cost-effective applications.
- Galvanized Steel: Some models (e.g., 101-1) include corrosion-resistant galvanized steel backs.
Are Frost paper towel dispensers suitable for high-traffic commercial environments?
Yes, Frost dispensers are designed for high-traffic settings like schools, offices, restaurants, and malls. The 109-70S hands-free model is ideal for busy washrooms due to its touchless operation and 35,000 hand-dry capacity. Manual models (101, 126) feature durable steel construction and anti-vandalism locks, ensuring reliability in demanding environments like fitness facilities and airports.
How do I install Frost paper towel dispensers?
Frost dispensers are wall-mounted, requiring:
- Mounting Height: Bottom of the unit should be 38.1–121.9cm (15–48″) from the floor for accessibility.
- Hardware: Include four standard combination screws; mark holes with a pencil and level, then secure with a screwdriver or drill.
- Professional Installation: Must be installed by a qualified tradesperson, complying with local building codes to maintain warranty. Contact Frost for detailed instructions.
How do I maintain Frost paper towel dispensers to ensure longevity?
Wipe dispensers with a damp soft cloth periodically. For stainless steel models (e.g., 101-1, 109-70S), use approved stainless steel cleaners for scuffs or fingerprints. For powder-coated steel (e.g., 101, 103), use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents, ammonia, or bleach, as these may damage finishes and void the warranty. Regular maintenance extends product life.
Can Frost paper towel dispensers use any brand of paper towels?
Yes, all Frost dispensers are non-proprietary, accepting standard single-fold, multi-fold, or roll towels from any commercial supplier (e.g., JJJK250, KIM41482 for 126). This avoids costly supply contracts, saving money for property managers. Confirm towel compatibility (e.g., 6″ diameter for 101, 8″ jumbo rolls for 109-70S) with Frost.
Are Frost paper towel dispensers compliant with accessibility regulations?
Frost dispensers meet accessibility standards when installed with the bottom 38.1–121.9cm (15–48″) from the floor. Models like the 109-70S comply with ADA guidelines for hands-free operation. Verify local regulations (e.g., ADA, AODA) and consult Frost for specific compliance details.
