AIRBLADE HAND DRYER SAVES ENERGY
The Airblade™ hand dryer releases a high velocity blade of air through an aperture the width of an eyelash. Air travels at 640 km per hour, wiping moisture from hands, leaving them completely dry in just 12 seconds. Dirty washroom air is passed through the Airblade™ HEPA filter which removes 99.9 per cent of bacteria before it’s blown on to your hands. Not only is the Airblade™ the fastest, most hygienic hand dryer, it also offers significant running cost-savings over warm air hand dryers or paper towels. In fact, it uses up to 80 per cent less energy than warm air dryers to dry hands. Using just one Airblad hand dryer 200 times a day for five years saves 730,000 paper towels from being produced, transported and disposed of (calculation based on two paper towels per hand dry).

GOING GREEN WITH GILES STOVE HOODS
Giles’ two new ventless stove hoods vent and duct like traditional hoods but also clean the air that is vented into the outside environment. The hoods clean grease-laden air through a four-step cleaning process before it exhausts outside. Air passes through a grease filter, electrostatic air cleaner, carbon filter and then by a UV light to reduce the carbon footprint, keep the building clean and reduce the need for normal ventilation maintenance.

Its recessed top prevents items from falling during transport and with its extended lower deck, loading is made easier and less strenuous.
