Performance Meets Durability
Reliable performance and long-lasting durability are important traits for products in any commercial restroom, but when it comes to schools, it’s absolutely critical. The OC recognized this, as it chose to specify durable and hygienic Sloan ST-2459 Vitreous China Wall-mounted Water Closets and SU-1009 Vitreous China Washdown Urinals. The urinals all come with a vandal-resistant stainless-steel strainer. In addition, Sloan EWF-44000 4-Station Wall-mounted Wash Fountain Sinks at The OC are constructed of non-porous SloanStone® solid surface material. These quadruple-station lavatory systems come equipped with Sloan Optima® electronic sensor technology for hands-free operation. “I prefer Sloan over many other wash fountains because of the reliability,” Griffith said. “All products are off the floor and mounted very well. I expect these products to last a couple of decades.”
A Lesson in Water Savings
Recognizing that durability and sustainability go hand in hand, The OC selected restroom products that help save water day in and day out. That’s why Griffith and his team specified Sloan’s Regal® 111 1.28 gpf Water Closet Flushometers and Regal 186 0.5 gpf Urinal Flushometers, both of which offer superior water savings and performance aided by the ADA-compliant, non-hold-open handle, which prevents the fixtures from exceeding the intended flush volume. To further bolster its sustainability efforts, The OC specified Sloan’s EAF-150 0.5 gpm Optima Faucets, which are ideal for applications that require reliable sensor-activated faucet technology and efficient water savings.
High Marks for Maintenance
When it comes to cleaning and maintaining school restrooms, it’s usually all hands on deck. But at The OC, Sloan is helping make life easier for Griffith and his maintenance team every day with a variety of hands-free, hygienic products, including SloanStone two-, three-, and four-station Wall-mounted Gradient Sinks. And that’s not all. Sloan’s vitreous china water closets, urinals, and SS-3003 Wall-mounted Backsplash Lavatories all come with SloanTec® Hydrophobic Glaze, a unique proprietary glaze that inhibits the growth of germs, making products easier to clean and keeping them cleaner longer. Griffith stated, “I have worked with Sloan products for over 40 years, and I run a crew of five plumbers, so we need the ease of maintenance, Sloan vitreous china is sleek and very easy to clean.”
Products in this case study
“Sloan was my only choice for fixtures at The OC. The products look great in our new facility, and I know the people of North Texas will enjoy using them every day.”
