Vaask: The Permanent Hand Sanitizing Dispenser

A Higher Class of Clean for Modern Interiors

The Vaask hand sanitizing fixture transforms a necessity into an amenity, offering a touchless and elegant solution for hand hygiene.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the shortcomings of traditional hand sanitizer options, from constantly empty automatic dispensers to messy and inaccurate sensors. Vaask, developed by Jon Olsen, the founder of Vaask and an accomplished engineer, aims to address these issues with a sustainable and permanent hand sanitizing system that seamlessly integrates into modern interiors.

Vaask is a recessed, touchless hand sanitizing fixture that combines functionality with premium design features. It offers a range of finishes, including custom powder coating, plated metal, and other customizable options. The precise dispensing mechanism, equipped with a PalmPilotⓇ hand sensor, eliminates drips and mess, ensuring a clean and hassle-free experience. The fixture also features easily customizable multi-colored LEDs that attract users and alert maintenance personnel when a refill is needed. With its large capacity, Vaask holds twice the amount of sanitizer compared to typical dispensers, reducing the frequency of refills.

The design and production of Vaask prioritize quality and user experience. Unlike traditional dispensers that are often an afterthought, Vaask was meticulously crafted with feedback from health industry professionals, architects, designers, and end users. Made in America using real materials, Vaask is built to last and offers a flawless combination of form and function.

Measuring 11 x 15 inches and protruding only 3.6 inches from the wall, Vaask is designed to be recessed into walls and hardwired to AC power, reducing maintenance needs and eliminating the need for batteries. The touchless system is operated by a PalmPilotⓇ sensor that detects hands, minimizing mess and ensuring precise dispensing. The dispenser's precision pump can be adjusted to dispense the desired amount of sanitizer with each use.

Vaask's commitment to cleanliness and hygiene extends beyond its design. The permanent installation of Vaask in public spaces, such as offices, restaurants, condos, and hotels, demonstrates a long-term commitment to cleanliness and provides reassurance to returning employees and customers. The fixture's adaptability, repairability, and waste-free design further contribute to its sustainability and longevity.

Since its launch, Vaask has received accolades for its innovative design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2022, recognizing its practicality, innovation, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements. With its emphasis on sophisticated design and exacting engineering, Vaask redefines hand sanitizing dispensers for modern interiors, creating a lasting first impression.
