U-flow® transcends its primary function to become a design statement within contemporary bathrooms by integrating an innovative approach and placing user experience at the forefront. Not only does its shape add an elegant touch but also addresses a common concern in touch-free dryers – limited visibility of hands during operation. To go into more details, U-flow® offers complete freedom of hand movement during the drying process, activated by infrared sensors, enabling users to simply place their hands between the U-shaped air vents for an immediate start. The drying process takes a mere 8 to 10 seconds, providing fast and visible results. To promote efficiency and energy savings, the device stops just 2 seconds after hands are removed.

U-flow® doesn’t stop at efficient hand drying. It further introduces a comprehensive approach to user hygiene with a HEPA filter that removes solid particles, an antibacterial additive (Biocote), and an Ionizer, ensuring a purified bathroom environment. With low power consumption, U-flow® leads to an 80% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional hand dryers. It stands as an eco-friendly alternative, generating no waste compared to traditional paper towels. To further enhance well-being, one of the main features of U-flow® is its ability to channel water directly to the drain, eliminating concerns about puddles on the bathroom floor. This feature ensures a clean and dry environment, promoting safety and cleanliness.

Aesthetically, its avant-garde U-shaped design is accentuated through the four standard color options – white, satin, black, and black with gray accents – providing versatility for any style. What sets U-flow® apart is the flexibility it offers, allowing customization of both the base and the U-shape to align with the specific design and aesthetics of bathrooms.
