LCI

LCI hair dryers are perfect for business owners and organisations who are looking to add devices that can complete their patrons’ experience with their establishment. Washrooms are no longer just washrooms - they are an integral part of your business and how people look at your services.

Creating a washroom that caters to the needs of your customers starts from looking at equipment and accessories that are functional without being too expensive. One way you can do this is by installing hairdryers in your washrooms especially if you run an establishment in the leisure industry.

Places like water parks, swimming pools, and holiday recreation areas usually have visitors who will be using washrooms to dry their hair. Being able to provide the proper device for them to do this activity can certainly help your business’ reputation.

LCI hair dryers are created mainly for businesses like these. One of the features they have is that they can be used in wet areas. It can be installed somewhere damp all throughout the day and it wouldn’t have an issue operating as it should.

It has an excellent build quality that can hold out against continuous hours of use. Leisure parks and recreation areas usually have high foot traffic, especially on the weekends and holidays. LCI designed and manufactured its hairdryers in a way that all the electronic parts can be housed inside its chassis. This way water won’t damage its internals despite being located somewhere perpetually damp.

It's for this very reason that you can easily spot LCI hairdryers in water parks and swimming pools around the UK. However, this isn’t the sole reason why their brand grew to have the level of success it has now.

LCI made sure that all their devices are easy to install. The components are also geared towards the comfort and convenience of its users.

Brand Overview and History

Leisure Controls International (LCI), is a company that mainly manufactures timing controllers. They are one of the leading names in the industry and are widely known in the UK. Their expertise and knowledge have led them to manufacture coin-operated meters, token-operated timers, and card and banknote-operated meters. They specialize in designing and distributing their products for businesses in the leisure industry.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if the leisure parks carry LCI-made timers since they’ve built a reputation in the field that they’re in. Other establishments that use timing controllers are camping parks, health clubs, visitor attractions, and holiday homes.

LCI serves all of these types of businesses and has been doing it since the merger of its parent companies in 2004. LCI started out as two separate entities - Leisure Control Systems of Poole (LCS) and Wyvern Innleisure. LCS was created in 1956 while Wyvern Innleisure was a younger company founded in 1980. Their merger resulted in one of the biggest names in its field and is continually serving the market with their high-quality and reliable products.

To protect LCI’s position in the market, they are active in keeping their products up-to-date. They invest in learning more about what the market needs and how they can provide them with the products that they produce. Customer needs and international trends are always changing - that’s why research and development are a priority for LCI.

Customer service is another major focus for LCI. They make it to a point that all their customers and partners get the best after-sales support for their products. They set up a team of highly trained professionals to answer every query their clients might have about their timing controller devices.

LCI’s Technical Service Department is the branch of their company responsible for taking in questions from their clients regarding technical specifications and installation queries.

Hairdryers With Adjustable Drying Time

As mentioned, LCI only creates products that are functional and effective for the public. Not only will this satisfy the end-users, but it will also bring positive feedback to the establishments that used their hair dryers.

This is why LCI included in their hairdryers an adjustable drying time feature. This can help business owners control the usage of the hairdryers without it costing them too much in energy usage.

At the same time, they can have control over how long each coin or token will make the hair dryer operate. You can easily set this in increments of 1 minute. However, should you choose to remove this option and have the hairdryers be used for free, you can also do so. LCI’s hairdryers also come with a push-button operation that doesn’t require any coins or tokens.

To make things better for its end-users, LCI’s hairdryers also come with 1 meter long jumbo tubes. A stainless steel mirror is also included in the whole unit so it's easier for users to check their hair.

Heavy Duty Hair Dryers

SInce LCI positioned their hair dryers to be used for establishments with high foot traffic, they also improve their construction. The outside case of the hairdryer is made from 18swg mild steel. This helps their device become more robust and sturdy. They’re also made to withstand vandalism with the strength that their unit is housed in.

It also comes with a safety feature that keeps the hair dryer unit safe when not in use. It has a radial 8-pin lock that comes with a pair of keys. This will also lessen the chances of vandals opening the coin box and stealing from it.

Regarding the coins, you can set the hair dryer to receive either of the following: 10p, 20p, 50p, €1, €0.50, €0.20. And each coin will make the hair dryer operate at a set drying time. It's best to calculate how much it might cost you every time someone uses the hairdryer and see how long each user takes. 

With this information, you’ll be able to adjust the settings on the hairdryer unit so you can properly balance out the cost of its operation. If you want, you can also use the hairdryer to be an added source of income for your business. This works best during peak times e.g. holidays and summer months.
