Paper towels & disposable towels: Maximum hygiene for your washroom
Paper towels for trade and industry: Absorbency meets efficiency
In high-traffic restrooms, choosing the right paper towels is crucial for operating costs and user satisfaction. Disposable paper towels made from virgin pulp or recycled paper must be not only absorbent but also tear-resistant when wet. Our product range offers solutions for all common dispenser systems – from compact medical practices to large-scale industrial facilities.
Expert tip on donor compatibility
When purchasing paper towels, be sure to pay attention to the dimensions when folded (spine width). This is the only way to ensure that the paper doesn't get stuck in the dispenser or come out in excessive amounts.
Folding types at a glance: What you need to know before buying
The fold determines how the paper is dispensed. Here are the main differences:
- V-fold (layer fold / zigzag): The paper is folded once in the middle. It is the inexpensive classic for standard dispensers with a depth of approximately 10-12 cm.
- Z-fold (interfold): These tissues are folded twice and interlock. When you pull one out, the next tissue unfolds automatically. This saves on tissues and is particularly hygienic, as you only touch the used sheet.
- C-fold (layer fold): The wipes lie loosely on top of each other and are folded in on themselves. They are often used in older dispensers. Caution: More than one sheet is often dispensed at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about paper towels
Which material is best suited to my needs?
For prestigious areas, we recommend bright white tissue paper, as it is particularly soft and absorbent. In workshops or high-traffic public restrooms , recycled paper (often in grey or off-white) is the more economical and environmentally friendly choice.
Why are 2-ply paper towels often cheaper than 1-ply ones?
Although the price per sheet is often lower for single-ply paper, users usually need several sheets to dry their hands. Two-ply towels offer significantly higher absorbency, which reduces overall consumption and thus lowers the cost per drying session.
Are there towels that fit Tork dispensers?
Yes, we carry both original products and compatible alternatives for the common Tork systems (H1, H2, H3). Browse our Accessories & Other Hygiene Paper category for suitable additions.
