Perspex Screens

Many of our models of protective screens are manufactured with genuine Perspex^®, sourced for the UK. Other models of screens are manufactured with plastic acrylic or with toughened safety glass, sourced from either the UK or Europe. All manufacturing is done in either the UK or within Europe.

Select models in our range of Desk Screens and free standing screens can be optioned with thermally toughened Safety Glass, which is impact tested to British Standard: BS 6206: 1981 - Class A. We source our glass from Pilkington^® and Saint-Gobain^®.

Toughened glass, also known as Tempered Glass, is four to five times stronger than standard annealed float glass and if broken, disintegrates into small fragments with dulled edges that are less likely to cause injury. Glass has advantages over Acrylic / Perspex^® as it is far more resilient to scratches, is easier to clean and keep sanitised and maintain a smear free finish. Safety glass is an ideal material for use in protective screens.

Coronavirus is spread via micro droplets in the air when an infected person sneezes, coughs, talks or has physical contact with other people. The risk of infection is greatly increased in indoor environments, during face-to-face encounters and where social distancing is not possible, or being ignored.

Screens made of plastic or glass are a physical barrier that may catch the micro droplets and reduce the risk of saliva droplets reaching another person. By creating a barrier, the possibility of the virus lingering on communal surfaces is greatly reduced as the areas are physically segregated, reducing the possibility of cross-contamination.

With regular hand washing, use of alcohol based hand sanitiser and the avoidance of touching your face; protective screens are an effective solution to minimise the risk of infection. Plastic screens are suitable for installation in most public places.

Nothing can be guaranteed to be 100% effective but plastic safety screens used for the protection of staff and employees in public venues are an effective way of creating a physical barrier and potentially reduce the risk and spread of airborne infections.

COVID-19 is spread via micro droplets in the air from infected people and social distancing screens may stop the likelihood of the virus covering your hands, face or contact surfaces.

Research has shown that people can carry the COVID-19 virus but show no symptoms or signs of illness. This is known as Asymptomatic. It is believed that the virus is at its most contagious at this stage, which is thought to last up to 5 days.

Protective Screens can play an important part in a larger programme of safety measures if installed correctly and used in conjunction with thorough hygiene procedures, wearing a face covering and adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Perspex^®, acrylic or plastic material is more susceptible to scratching than tempered glass so we advise you clean your Sneeze Screens carefully with soft, dedicated cloths.

Soft microfiber towels are ideal, or use a dedicated glass cleaning cloth, which is often a waffle weave construction. Remove all brand labels from the cloths as these can cause scratching and marring.

We recommend using two cloths, one to apply the cleaning product and the other cloth to buff to a smear free finish. Spray the cleaning solution into the first microfiber towel and wipe the surface of the screen. As the cleaner solution starts to dry, quickly buff the surface with the second, clean and dry cloth, to remove the cleaning residue and leave a streak free finish.

There are many glass cleaners available, which will work, and Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is ideal for plastic and glass as it kills germs and viruses.

We deliver the majority of our screens and partitions on our own vehicles. This reduces the likelihood of courier damage.

Our vans are loaded twice a week and a route is set throughout the UK depending on where in the country the screens need to be delivered. Your delivery will be advised at point of departure and you will be given a 'week commencing date' for delivery. We can advise you closer to the time a closer estimate for delivery.

We acknowledge that not all businesses are fully open and some are running reduced hours and skeleton staff. If you require a specific date and time slot for delivery we can arrange that for you at a small additional cost. Your order will be delivered on a dedicated vehicle and we can give you a specific ETA, allowing you to plan more precisely the acceptance of your order.

Some of our screens may be delivered by pallet. Delivery is to ground floor level. All protective packaging needs to be disposed of / recycled by the recipient. Our delivery drivers are unable to take waste packaging. Large quantities of Office Screens may be delivered on a pallet, which is a curbside delivery.
