Chicago Faucets has been working with schools since its beginnings. Designers, engineers, architects and contractors recognize that the Chicago Faucets perform as long as the building does. They must be durable enough to withstand vandalism and tampering, which often happens in educational settings. Here are the best faucets for school dorms and restrooms to meet those needs.
Manual Sink Faucets
Innovations in plumbing technology have many thinking hands-free is the only way to mitigate risks associated with touching contaminated surfaces. However, manual sink handles made with antimicrobial materials also reduce these hazards according to a 28-day dried fungal test.
Here are the three models and features from Chicago Faucets for you to consider that offer these (and other) innovations.
