Our Terreon Quadra-Fount Washfountain offers the latest in modern features, efficiencies and cost savings. It is an excellent solution for “green” construction or renovation projects. It serves one to four users at a time and is highly vandal resistant. It saves space, water and energy because less hot water is used and therefore less water is heated. It has a unique Terreon surface which is available in two versions - Terreon® solid surface and Terreon®RE recycled solid surface – and both are now GREENGUARD Certified as low-emitting materials. The Terreon Quadra-Fount Washfountain is ADA compliant and is available with Air Metering, TouchTime®, Infrared or Battery Infrared Control.

Material in a Terreon Quadra-Fount Washfountain

The surface material of our Terreon Quadra-Fount Washfountain is a leader in solid surface innovation. Called Terreon, it is a blend of acrylic modified polyester resin with UV stabilizer, alumina tri-hydrate and mineral fillers. It is bound by heat and a two step catalyst. It has a number of characteristics which suit it for high volume commercial traffic. The standard thickness is ½ inch and it is durable, smooth, non-porous and long-lasting. It is impact and scratch resistant making it suitable for deterring vandalism. Should it be damaged or scratched then it is easy to repair with a Terreon repair kit. Minor scratches can be fixed by using an everyday cleanser or fine grit abrasive such as sandpaper or steel wool. Since it is non-porous it is chemical and stain resistant as well as easy to clean and maintain. The Terreon Quadra-Fount Washfountain is also resistant to heat and water damage and is UV light resistant using the latest technology in UV light stabilizers. The composition of Terreron allows for even distribution of color throughout the material and it is available in 18 different colors for color design options. Terreon can be “worked” or modified using standard power tools and our joint kits allow users to work with applications where a surface length of 120 inches or greater are needed.

The surface material Terreon, used in ourTerreon Quadra-Fount Washfountain,

is now GREENGUARD Certified as a low-emitting material. GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that organizes the GREENGUARD Certification Program. This certification program is a testing program to evaluate products and materials for emissions. The mission of GEI is to protect human health and quality of life by improving indoor air that people breathe. GEI is an ANSI Accredited Standards Developer and establishes acceptable indoor environmental standards for building materials, construction practices, furnishings and electronic equipment. The certification known as “GREENGUARD” is widely recognized by “green” building programs including the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED program.

The construction of the Terreon Quadra-Fount Washfountain is an impressive lesson in engineering. The pedestal frame and access panels are fabricated from heavy gauge type 304 stainless steel. Another reason the unit is vandal resistant is because the molded sprayhead is an integral element of the bowl module. All push buttons and/or infrared sensors and streamformers are secured to the unit from inside the sprayhead module which leaves little equipment exposed for the vandal. In addition, all valves, water supplies and waste water connections are concealed inside the pedestal frame. A hex key is required to remove the front access panel.
