Urinal Versus Trough

Fiona,

I agree with Matt and Terry. In addition the single units reduce water
consumption and in fact in across a number of government departments and
office towers in Sydney we use a waterless single mounted urinal. I have
had no reports or complaints from anyone about the waterless units.

Behalf Of Fiona de Sousa

Hi All,

We are currently considering bathroom furniture for male toilets and
there is a debate over floor troughs versus wall mounted single urinals.
I have been told that the floor mounted trough poses a greater infection
control risk for the spread of infection than the wall mounted urinal
but am unsure why this is. Has anyone else looked at this issue for
their facility and what was the outcome?

Kind Regards,
