The Engineering Behind Fontana’s Touchless Innovation

Modern commercial bathrooms demand something more than appearance. They demand durability, hygiene, efficiency, and performance.

Fontana engineers accomplish that task on a daily basis by keeping meticulous eyes on the technical foundations of our touchless technology—IP Ratings, Flow Rates, and Power Sources—to know each product works its best in any situation.

Peer behind the curtain of the Fontana design process, where painstaking attention is the secret.

IP Ratings: Built to Survive, Built to Trust

Touchless controls receive their day’s worth of rough handling—rain, humidities, chemicals, and the odd intentional messing about here and there. That’s when Ingress Protection (IP) Ratings come into play.

At Fontana, IP ratings are our design team’s top priority for fixture reliability and protection against safety threats. Our fixtures are always IP65 and higher, i.e., tightly sealed to keep dust away and protected against high-pressure water explosion.

Whatever it is, a sensor faucet over a sink, or an auto-flush valve on a urinal in a tile wall, our engineers locate each possible point of exposure. Seals and gaskets are specified, the housing and coating materials are established to exceed or meet environmental requirements.

It’s not compliance. It’s peace of mind.

Flow Rates: Sustainability Without Compromise in Performance

Conserving water is not trendy—it’s necessary. Fontana fittings are designed with the vision of offering the ideal combination of performance and environmentally-friendliness, highest flow rates per application.

Our engineering technology assures our fixtures include EPA WaterSense and LEED standards to give the highest flow rates for the highest efficiency without compromising user comfort.

For example, our commercial sensor faucets are provided with 0.35 GPM, 0.5 GPM, and 1.0 GPM flow capacity with traffic level accuracy calibration, usage pattern accuracy calibration, and compliance in plumbing systems.

The result? Frictionless hand washing or flushing experience according to environmental stewardship without any compromise on operation or user comfort.

Power Sources: Smart Energy Solutions for Every Use

A touchless unit is no better than the power that it is supplied with. At Fontana, we offer flexible power options to suit any installation situation, from standalone park restroom facilities to luxury hotels.

We offer three fundamental types of power:

1. Hardwired AC Power – Ideal for new building and high-traffic installations. These are products that offer uptime guarantee and can be interfaced with central power management systems.

2. Battery Power – It is a good retrofit model or for applications where access to electricity is important. Most of its models from Fontana consume standard AA or lithium batteries that have a shelf life of 3-5 years.

3. Hybrid Solutions – Our newest products have double power capacity, alternating between battery backup and AC to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Fontana builders also include low-consumption microcontrollers and sensors, power efficiency and lifespan as a consideration as well. And one couple even have solar-assist modules, that added energy independence dividend for green-builders.

Power’s never in short supply with Fontana—it’s a dividend.

The DesignConcept Promise: Where Engineering Meets Experience

It’s what distinguishes Fontana—beyond technology—it’s the marriage of design and engineering in breathtaking harmony.

Whether calling out an IP67-sealed flush valve to a high-end spa, calling out water flow rates to a water-conserving business complex, or calling out a solar-powered flush valve to an outback road stop, we lead customers to choose by performance, look, and efficiency.

In every breathtaking fixture lies a platform of precision engineering. Every product that exits our factory is testament to what we believe:

• Hygiene no matter

• Pressure-resistance to withstand

• Design for sustainability

• Cautious innovation

Innovation That Changes Lives—but Not Touches Fixtures

The world has evolved, and never have there been so high a call for sanitation and automation. Fontana’s touchless devotion to innovation is more than solenoids and sensors—it is protecting lives, saving resources, and pushing the boundaries of commercial fixture engineering.

Being part of the DesignConcept.com organization, Fontana continues to use a rigorous R&D effort, client feedback loops, and in-situ operating trials to build our next generation touchless product line the industry standard of form and function.

No matter what your project – creating the bathrooms of the airport terminal of the future or updating a community center that was constructed years ago – be assured that Fontana applies decades of engineering knowledge and love of problem-solving to each project.
