Upgrade your washroom with reliable, energy-efficient hand dryers from John Barnes Group. Our range of automatic and sensor hand dryers is designed for modern commercial and residential amenities, helping reduce paper waste, maintain hygiene and streamline maintenance. Whether you’re fitting out a busy public bathroom, a Brisbane office, a Queensland hospitality venue or a boutique project in New South Wales, you can buy hand dryers online through our Australia-wide store with confidence.

As a leading supplier of architectural door hardware and washroom accessories, we make it simple to specify and source hand dryers that complement your overall fit-out. From sleek stainless steel through to contemporary matte black units, our collection supports premium, modern washroom design without compromising on durability or performance.

High-Performance Hand Dryers for Modern Washrooms

Today’s commercial and residential washrooms demand more than just basic drying. Our electric hand dryers combine fast drying times with efficient energy use and robust construction, helping you deliver a better user experience while managing operating costs. With options suited to everything from low-traffic staff amenities to high-traffic public facilities, you can select models that match your project’s capacity, style and budget.

Within our range you’ll find trusted hand dryer brands widely used across Australia, including high-speed models ideal for shopping centres, airports and schools, and compact units for tighter spaces. Many of these pair seamlessly with other washroom accessories and architectural door hardware from brands such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, allowing a consistent aesthetic across doors, partitions and bathroom fittings.

Commercial Hand Dryers for High-Traffic Facilities

If you’re specifying for a commercial project, reliability and longevity are non-negotiable. Our commercial hand dryers are designed for frequent, heavy use in environments such as transport hubs, universities, healthcare facilities, retail precincts and council amenities. With vandal-resistant housings, tamper-resistant fixings and durable metal enclosures on selected models, these units stand up to daily wear and tear.

Fast, efficient dry times help reduce queues in peak periods, while automatic sensor operation minimises touchpoints and supports better hygiene outcomes. For facility managers across Brisbane, greater Queensland and New South Wales, choosing robust wall mounted hand dryers means fewer call-outs, less maintenance and lower long-term consumable costs compared with paper towels.

Compact and Stylish Hand Dryers for Offices and Hospitality

For offices, boutique retail spaces, cafés, bars and restaurants, style matters just as much as performance. Our slimline and low-profile hand dryers are ideal where wall space is limited or where a minimal, contemporary look is required. Many options feature sleek rectangular or curved designs that sit neatly within modern amenities without overpowering the space.

You can coordinate these units with existing hardware finishes, from brushed stainless steel through to matte black and powder-coated whites. This makes it easy for architects, designers and builders to create cohesive washroom schemes alongside premium hardware from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, delivering a polished, professional outcome for clients and guests.

Energy-Efficient and Hygienic Drying

Energy efficiency is a key consideration for many Australian projects. Our range includes high-speed, low-energy hand dryers engineered to provide rapid drying while using less power than older warm air models. For many facilities, switching from paper towels to efficient electric hand dryers can significantly reduce waste, streamline cleaning and cut ongoing consumable expenses.

Automatic sensor operation reduces touchpoints and helps maintain hygiene standards by activating only when hands are correctly positioned. Selected models incorporate advanced airflow designs or additional filtration features, supporting higher expectations around washroom cleanliness in workplaces, education, healthcare and hospitality environments.

Finishes and Styles to Suit Any Project

Appearance is critical when you’re delivering a premium fit-out. That’s why our hand dryers are available in a range of finishes and profiles to complement both traditional and contemporary spaces. Choose from classic satin stainless steel for durability and a timeless look, striking matte black for modern, design-led interiors, or clean white finishes that blend smoothly into tiled or painted walls.

By pairing your chosen hand dryers with matching door hardware and accessories from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, you can maintain a consistent finish across entry doors, cubicle doors and washroom fixtures. This integrated approach is ideal for high-end residential projects, multi-res developments, commercial offices and premium hospitality venues where every detail matters.

Hand Dryers for Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales and Beyond

John Barnes Group supports projects across Brisbane and throughout Queensland, as well as major regional and metropolitan centres in New South Wales and Australia-wide. Whether you’re upgrading a single washroom, rolling out a national store program or coordinating a large commercial development, you can buy hand dryers online and have them delivered directly to site.

Our experienced team understands local building requirements and the expectations of Australian specifiers and facility managers. We work closely with builders, architects, designers, strata managers and contractors to help match products to project needs, from compact internal office amenities through to robust external public washroom facilities.

Choosing the Right Hand Dryer for Your Space

When selecting a hand dryer, start with traffic volume. High-traffic commercial washrooms benefit from high-speed, heavy-duty units designed for constant use, while low-traffic offices or small venues may prioritise quieter operation and compact dimensions. Wall space, mounting height and proximity to basins and doors are also important to ensure a comfortable user experience and avoid water tracking on floors.

Other considerations include noise levels, energy consumption, drying time, vandal resistance and the overall look and finish. Our product descriptions outline key features to help you compare options, and our team can assist if you need guidance on pairing hand dryers with door locks, levers and other architectural hardware from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda as part of a complete package.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of hand dryers do you stock?

We stock a wide range of electric hand dryers, including high-speed units for busy commercial toilets, compact slimline models for smaller washrooms and robust stainless steel options for public amenities. Within the range, you’ll find automatic sensor hand dryers, warm air models and energy-efficient designs suitable for both internal and external facilities across Australia.

Are these hand dryers suitable for high-traffic commercial areas?

Yes. Many of our hand dryers are specifically designed for high-traffic commercial environments such as shopping centres, airports, schools, hospitals and stadiums. These models offer fast drying times, durable housings and components that stand up to frequent use. If you are specifying for a demanding Brisbane, Queensland or New South Wales site, our team can help you choose heavy-duty options tailored to your needs.

Can I use these hand dryers in residential projects?

Absolutely. While most of our range is designed with commercial performance in mind, many models are also perfectly suited to premium residential or multi-residential projects where a clean, modern washroom experience is desired. Designers often pair our slimline hand dryers with contemporary door hardware from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda to create a cohesive look throughout the home or apartment building.

What finishes are available for your hand dryers?

Our hand dryers are available in a variety of finishes, including satin stainless steel, polished stainless steel, matte black and white or coloured powder-coated options on selected models. This allows you to match your hand dryers with other architectural hardware and washroom accessories, ensuring a consistent design language from your front door and internal doors through to your amenities.

Can I buy hand dryers online for delivery outside Brisbane?

Yes. You can buy hand dryers online through the John Barnes Group store and have them delivered Australia-wide. We regularly supply projects throughout Queensland and New South Wales, as well as other states and territories. Simply add the products you need to your cart, and our team will arrange prompt dispatch and delivery to your nominated address.

Are hand dryers more cost-effective than paper towels?

In many cases, yes. While the exact savings depend on usage and energy tariffs, electric hand dryers often reduce the ongoing cost of purchasing, replenishing and disposing of paper towels. They can also help minimise bin overflow and reduce cleaning demands, which is particularly beneficial in high-traffic commercial washrooms across Australia.

Do I need an electrician to install a hand dryer?

Most hard-wired hand dryers must be installed by a licensed electrician to comply with Australian electrical regulations and ensure safe operation. Some units may be suitable for plug-in installation where a suitable power outlet is available, but it’s always best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local requirements. If you’re unsure, we recommend engaging a qualified contractor for installation.

How do I choose the right hand dryer for my project?

Start by considering traffic levels, available wall space and your preferred finish. For busy commercial sites, look for fast dry times, robust construction and energy-efficient operation. For offices or hospitality venues, design and noise levels may be key. Our online product information helps you compare models, and the John Barnes Group team can assist with recommendations to suit your door hardware, washroom layout and broader project requirements.
