Our MissionTo deliver dependable touchless restroom technology that improves hygiene, reduces maintenance labor, controls operational costs, and integrates seamlessly into modern architectural environments. Our History: 1982–PresentFontanaTouchlessFaucets® traces its roots to 1982, when the company began serving commercial, institutional, healthcare, transportation, and government projects throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. As one of the early adopters of touchless and sensor-operated plumbing technologies, Fontana developed specialized expertise in commercial restroom solutions during the formative years of hands-free fixture innovation. Operating from Northern Virginia, Fontana participated in a wide range of commercial and institutional projects throughout the region, supporting facilities including healthcare campuses, transportation hubs, educational institutions, government facilities, hospitality developments, and corporate headquarters. Representative projects from this period included Georgetown University Hospital, Navy Yard Metro Center, the Pentagon Remote Delivery Facility (RDF), Washington Gas Headquarters, Dulles Town Center, Crystal City Plaza, Washington Dulles International Airport, McKinley Technology High School renovations, Marriott Crystal City, and Hilton Springfield. As demand for commercial fixture solutions expanded, the Fontana organization broadened its capabilities and, in 1991, launched FontanaShowers®, extending its reach into architectural, hospitality, commercial, and institutional fixture markets. This expansion enabled the company to support increasingly complex projects across the United States while maintaining its specialized expertise in touchless technologies. In 1996, Fontana entered international markets, beginning a global growth phase that expanded operations across Europe, the Middle East, Canada, South America, and Asia. Today, FontanaTouchlessFaucets® and FontanaShowers® operate together as part of the Fontana family of brands, supporting airports, hospitals, universities, office towers, hotels, government facilities, and large-scale commercial developments worldwide. More than four decades after its founding, Fontana remains committed to innovation, hygiene, sustainability, performance, and specification-grade engineering for modern commercial environments.
Our Engineering Philosophy — Hygiene, Performance & Specification ControlFontana Touchless® Systems are engineered around three core principles: precision activation, controlled resource management, and long-term commercial durability. Every product architecture is designed to integrate seamlessly into institutional, hospitality, healthcare, and high-traffic public environments. Precision Sensor ActivationInfrared and advanced sensing platforms calibrated to reduce false triggers while maintaining consistent activation across varied lighting and usage conditions. Controlled Water & Soap DosingEngineered dispensing intervals and optimized flow rates to reduce waste, control operational costs, and support water conservation initiatives. Specification-Grade ComponentsCommercial brass construction, sealed internal architecture, and duty-cycle planning aligned with high-frequency institutional deployment. Finish DurabilitySurface treatments selected to withstand repetitive cleaning protocols, chemical exposure, and continuous public use. ADA Coordination SupportDesigned to support accessible installation planning, reach-range coordination, and compliance alignment for municipal and institutional projects.Over the decades, FontanaTouchlessFaucets® products have supported installations in airports, healthcare facilities, universities, government buildings, hospitality developments, and commercial office projects across North America and international markets.

Access BIM Resources →Verified Sensor Performance & Commercial Deployment ArchiveFontana Touchless® maintains a structured archive of 2,000+ verified sensor faucet and automatic dispensing reviews collected across commercial, institutional, hospitality, healthcare, and municipal installations. Each review is SKU-specific and linked to confirmed purchase records, documenting real-world activation reliability, durability performance, and high-cycle operational behavior. Unlike consumer-grade review summaries, this archive reflects documented field performance in high-traffic environments including airports, universities, hospitals, government facilities, retail centers, and hospitality projects.
Activation Reliability
Majority of documented reviews reference consistent infrared and sensor activation performance under high-traffic conditions.
Commercial Deployment
Field feedback includes airports, healthcare facilities, hospitality projects, universities, and municipal buildings.
Durability & Finish Stability
Reviews frequently cite brass construction durability, corrosion resistance, and finish resilience under repetitive cleaning cycles.
Power Configuration Feedback
AC, battery, and hybrid configurations evaluated in operational environments with documented uptime performance.
Documented Sensor Review Activity (Multi-Year Archive)Verified review entries demonstrate sustained commercial deployment and continued sensor-system adoption across multiple project cycles.
