Adam's Leaf Urinal Screen

Adam's Leaf Urinal Screen is an innovative sanitary device designed to enhance hygiene and functionality in men's restrooms, distinguished by its unique leaf-shaped design featuring a high fin-like center ridge. Conceived in 2006 and patented in 2016 by designers Michael Jones and Sadie Mestman, this sophisticated solution addresses the critical issue of splash-back in urinal environments. The design, inspired by fig leaves depicted in Renaissance art, incorporates a thoughtfully engineered structure measuring 180mm in length, 170mm in width, and 80mm in height. Manufactured through high-pressure injection molding using recycled plastic and EcoPure biodegradable additives, the screen demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability while maintaining superior functionality. Its innovative shape effectively deflects liquid without retention, eliminating the need for artificial fragrances and significantly reducing maintenance requirements. The device's durability, lasting up to six months in regular use, contributes to reduced material consumption and maintenance costs. The design's effectiveness earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category, acknowledging its contribution to improving public hygiene standards. The screen's universal compatibility with various urinal sizes, combined with its 114.76-gram weight, ensures stable positioning and consistent performance across different installation settings. This thoughtful integration of form and function represents a significant advancement in sanitary ware design, addressing both practical hygiene concerns and environmental considerations.
