Restrooms Keen Insights

A subject not written about nearly enough, is the subject of aesthetically pleasing restroom facilities from a tenant’s point of view.   

Josh Renihan from SCA Tork wrote a short engaging piece that touched on the subject — and what follows is an excerpt of that article.

The quality of a business space often translates into the quality of the business provided.  As a result, building owners are constantly considering ways to upgrade their facilities to attract and retain quality tenants. 

A critical area in ensuring tenant satisfaction in Class A buildings is the restroom facilities. Surveys have suggested that a patron’s perception of a business is heavily influenced by the quality of the bathroom. Likewise, surveys show potential tenants rank clean restrooms higher on their list of desired move-in incentives than items such as office renovations and rent-free promotions. 

Employees make multiple trips to the bathroom during the day, so they are quite attuned to the cleanliness and amenities. A poor bathroom also leaves a lasting impact on the clients of a business, while a nice facility enhances its reputation. On the surface, this might sound trivial — but think about the bathrooms in the offices you visit. I will bet there are more than a few you’d like to forget.

Thus, it’s important for Class A facility owners to ensure that their restrooms are in top shape to boost tenant satisfaction.

Restrooms play a crucial role in tenant satisfaction. Therefore, providing the extra touches and amenities can really make an impact in what defines a Class A office space.  (emphasis mine)

We couldn’t agree more with the importance of maintaining the aesthetics in restrooms.  

One of the challenges in this level of care are the methods employed when doing this; these range from handwritten signs to duct tape and trash bag covers.  

Clearly, these methods are not the best solution in most office buildings or establishments.

JaniWrap facility professionals have had to temporarily remove  malfunctioning fixtures from service on occasion, and were forced to use some of the same methods described above.  

It was in seeking a better solution that JaniWrap was born — and the resulting solution was exciting in it’s practical attractiveness, durability and universality.
