For all areas in which the required distance between employees and customers cannot be guaranteed: As a sneeze screen or counter attachment in catering and grocery stores, pharmacies and other shops, but also as protective guards in offices and doctors’ practices. A protective screen made of PLEXIGLAS® can lower the risk of infection through airborne droplets in these and many more applications.

• Permanently installed guards are one solution. In this case, PLEXIGLAS® sheets, for example from our online shop, are simply fixed to a support or a wall.
• A mobile sneeze guard made of PLEXIGLAS® is often smaller and made from multiple parts. Many of our specialist fabricators offer this solution.
