400 GSM 100% Cotton Institutional/Hotel Towels

400 GSM Institutional Hotel Towels — Every Size, Header Bar Identified 

Specs 

Going lighter for faster laundry turnaround shouldn't mean dropping to a weaker construction to get there. This 400 GSM range uses the same ring spun process as our heavier institutional towels — fibres combed and tightly twisted before weaving — just at a lighter weight built specifically for high-frequency washing cycles.

Every size in the range carries a different number of header bars woven into the border, so laundry staff can sort by sight rather than checking labels: one bar for hand towels, two for bath towels, three for bath sheets. That's the actual trade-off worth understanding on the weight itself: 400 GSM dries faster between uses than 500 GSM, which matters more in a high-turnover hotel or leisure centre than in a slower-turnover care home, without sacrificing the fibre strength that keeps a towel in service.

FAQs

Why choose 400 GSM over 500 GSM for an institutional setting? 

Faster drying between uses, which matters most in high-turnover environments like hotels and leisure centres washing towels daily.

How does the header bar system work? 

Hand towels carry one bar, bath towels two, and bath sheets three, woven into the border so staff can sort by sight during fast laundry turnaround. 

Is ring spun construction still worth it at a lighter weight? 

Yes — the construction is what determines durability under commercial washing regardless of GSM; a lighter open-end towel wouldn't hold up nearly as well.

Are these only suitable for institutions, or fine for home use too?

Both — the construction works equally well for home use, it's just built primarily for high-frequency commercial washing.

Is there a minimum order? 

No, with larger box quantities for better unit pricing.

Do you supply matching sizes across the range? 

Yes, the same construction runs across face cloths, hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets.
