5 Reasons PVC is safer than a Plexiglass Sneeze Guard

If you own a business, you are probably looking into different ways to take extra precaution on safety to adjust to current guidelines. One of these guidelines includes keeping 6 feet of distance between personnel at all times. Sometimes staying 6 feet apart is not practical for all businesses to operate properly. In those instances, the CDC has recommended installing safety partitions or plexiglass sneeze guards to separate individuals in tighter spaces. There are many reasons that plexiglass or acrylic partitions are NOT the solution. Installing clear PVC curtain safety partitions are the better and safer option.

HERE ARE 5 REASONS WHY PVC IS A BETTER OPTION THAN PLEXIGLASS WHEN CHOOSING YOUR SNEEZE GUARDS:

PVC is a flexible clear material which our Safety Barriers feature. These can be hung from the ceiling or free-standing using an aluminum frame. Plexiglass or acrylic sneeze guards often crack and splinter if drilled into, knocked over, or damaged. This can cause injury to employees and customers if not replaced or handled properly. To avoid this, use PVC instead of plexiglass.

Being 20% lighter material than plexiglass sneeze guards, PVC partitions are easily and quickly installed in large areas. No additional labor required. Some spaces may call for a large Portable Safety Barrier that needs to be moved frequently throughout a business. Having a lighter material makes moving the barrier no problem!

Sanitation measures are the whole reason you want to install a partition in the first place. So, choosing a material that is already antibacterial only makes sense. Our PVC is used in food processing facilities where sanitation is top priority. Acrylic sneeze guards are not suitable for the food industry. Therefore, having PVC that is antibacterial will kill or slow the spread of bacteria and viruses on the surface of your safety partitions.

There’s nothing worse than ordering a new product and finding out you have no idea how to put it together. Our PVC Personal Safety Barriers arrive fully assembled and ready to protect your employees and customers. Hanging partitions easily roll up for efficient storage if need be. Acrylic sneeze guards always remain stiff and inflexible making storage difficult. PVC allows for flexible usage and the ability to change locations in your facility easy.

Installing clear PVC safety partitions over the option of plexiglass sneeze guards will make your implementation of safety precautions much easier. Meet CDC guidelines and protect your employees and customers with Shaver’s Safety Barriers.
