Bradley Corp., headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wis., designs and manufactures commercial plumbing fixtures, washroom accessories, partitions, emergency fixtures and solid plastic lockers. An industry leader for more than 85 years, Bradley's history began with the invention of the washfountain – a revolutionary group handwashing fixture designed to save water and time. Since then, Bradley has developed a number of innovative products and technologies to help architects, specifiers, engineers and end-users meet their green building goals.
Today, Bradley offers the greatest breadth of commercial washroom product lines designed for use in schools, restaurants, office buildings, recreational facilities, theatres, stadiums and more.
Through the years, Bradley has changed the way people wash their hands in public. Understanding that consumers have an aversion to public restrooms, Bradley has developed many green handwashing solutions to make restrooms cleaner and more attractive for users, as well as easier for facility managers to install and maintain.
Bradley's core products include solid surface lavatory systems, touchless faucets and group and individual showers. Bradley rounds out its product line with touchless hand dryers, soap dispensers, and towel dispensers, plus solid plastic lockers and toilet partitions. In addition, Bradley's complete line of thermostatic mixing valves, emergency drench showers and eyewashes help keep people safer in labs, shop environments and food processing plants worldwide.
One of Bradley's newest products, the Advocate™ Lavatory System – a personal handwashing station – exemplifies all the features that make Bradley a true innovator of user-friendly green restroom products. The Advocate provides an all-in-one handwashing experience, since access to water, soap and hand dryer are available within the user's space. With all elements in immediate reach, dripping water is minimized and wasted paper towels are eliminated. The Advocate also incorporates materials with recycled content, 0.38 gpm faucet and low-energy consumption high-efficiency hand dryer, making it environmentally friendly.
Another recent handwashing innovation is the Aerixâ„¢ hand dryer, which is the only adjustable speed hand dryer available in the U.S. Multiple speeds allow facility managers to turn up for fast drying or turn down for quiet operations. The dryer is also a green solution because it uses 80 percent less electricity than other dryers, and does not contribute to pollution or deforestation.
Bradley also offers a variety of other products that are greening public restrooms. The company designed and manufactured the industry's first light-powered lavatory system, which eliminates the need for electrical hook ups and batteries. Bradley manufactures several products with recycled content, including a complete line of solid plastic lockers made with up to 100% post-consumer recycled HDPE, as well as its exclusive Terreon®RE recycled solid surface, which is composed of an eco-friendly bio-based resin, pre-consumer recycled granule fillers and other natural materials. Many of Bradley's handwashing fixtures are available in TerreonRE recycled solid surface and Terreon solid surface – both of which were certified by GREENGUARD as low-emitting materials, and have received GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification and GREENGUARD Children & SchoolsTM Certification.
