The Efficient D/13 Sink System with Hand Dryer By Victoria Snow About the D/13 Sink System with Hand DryerThe D/13 sink system is a huge streamline for hand washing and drying process, it seamlessly infuses the soap dispenser, faucet, and high speed and energy efficient hand dryer. In the market currently it is the most advanced integrated sink system. With that it is also the most hygienic, sustainable, and cost-effective way to wash your hands. How it WorksWhat truly sets it apart from other systems is how the sink basin and hand drying system specifically co-work with one another. The XLERATORsync incorporated into the design reverses the high-speed air flow to blow down and away from the user toward the back bottom of sink basin. The sink has the proper depth and angles to effectively catch the air and water. Because of this it prevents the user avoiding from getting wet. Sustainable DesignThe Dryer built into this design is much more greener, more economical, and most of all much easier to maintain. Rather than using towel dispensers or other hand drying machines the D/13 sink system has utilizing recycled FSC-certified materials. The sink system also arrives onsite already to install. This reduces the time and energy as well as resources needed to install the sink. Due to this it makes the sink efficient and much more of an affordable option. Rather than paying the expenses to install where some are in pieces this on the go ready. References Stone, J. (n.d.). gb&d magazine.

They even have dog beds! Crypton is well known for their stain, odor,and moisture resistant fabrics with multiple levels of performance.
