Architect and Project Feedback on Fontana Touchless Faucets

“Reliable & Architecturally Clean”

★★★★★
Gensler

We’ve standardized Fontana Touchless Faucets across several airport and civic restroom projects. The Time-of-Flight sensor is far more accurate than IR-based systems, and the available finishes allow us to maintain aesthetic control. No callbacks from facilities teams—huge plus.

“Perfect Blend of Form & Function”

★★★★★
Perkins&Will

We selected the Brushed Gold Touchless Faucet for a boutique hotel project. The finish is both warm and resilient. The sensor activates instantly, and the faucet doesn’t drip post-use—something we’ve had trouble with in competing brands.

“Easy to Install and Maintain”

★★★★☆
Jacobs

The Fontana touchless models come with clear install guides and secure IP-rated battery compartments. For commercial jobs, we prefer their multifeed systems and 3-in-1 faucet-dispenser-dryer units—they reduce restroom clutter and make our installs more efficient.

“Healthcare-Grade Hygiene with Design Integrity”

★★★★★
HDR

Fontana’s touchless faucets with antimicrobial finishes and ToF sensors meet the rigorous specs for healthcare environments. We used them in our Cleveland Clinic renovation project and are including them in our current LEED-certified hospital expansion.

“Smart Tech That Actually Works”

★★★★☆

Our restrooms serve hundreds of students daily. Fontana’s commercial-grade touchless faucets and soap dispensers have held up well. They look modern, reduce water waste, and don’t require constant battery changes.

“Polished. Precise. Professional.”

★★★★★
Studio B

Our studio worked on a corporate HQ in Chicago and used Fontana’s Matte Black faucet series. The minimal aesthetic with robust performance checked every box for us—and the client was thrilled with the result.

How Touchless Faucets Improve Hygiene and Efficiency in Public Restrooms

Touchless faucet technology has become a major component of modern commercial restroom design. Architects, contractors, and facility managers increasingly specify automatic sensor faucets to reduce shared contact points and maintain cleaner public environments. In busy locations such as airports, universities, office complexes, and healthcare facilities, touchless fixtures help support improved hygiene standards while also simplifying restroom maintenance.

Automatic faucets also contribute to water efficiency and operational reliability in high-traffic buildings. Modern sensor systems activate quickly, minimize unnecessary water flow, and reduce wear on mechanical handles. For property managers and maintenance teams, this means fewer service calls and lower overall operating costs across large commercial facilities.

Because of these advantages, touchless fixtures are now frequently included in restroom specifications for new commercial developments and renovations. When paired with durable finishes and dependable sensor technology, they provide a practical balance between aesthetics, sustainability, and long-term performance in public spaces.
