Change is the only constant thing. Our world in the past few months has changed considerably, and it necessitates that we adapt to the current realities and find a way to live through the pandemic. Adapting to change brought about the need for Fab Glass and Mirror’s glass sneeze guard.
The sneeze guard is a protective glass panel that serves as a barrier between workers or employees and members of the public. The sneeze guard ensures that your workers, colleagues, team members, and employees maintain the rules of social distancing. This is to keep them protected and prevent the further spread of the novel coronavirus.
A with everything, there are lots of misconceptions surrounding the use of sneeze guards as a protective barrier in this period. We will be examining some of the common misconceptions to see if there is any truth to them.
DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST CORONAVIRUS SPREAD: MYTH VS FACT
Part of the striving to hinder the spread of the virus birthed social distancing. Social distancing, also commonly known as physical distancing, simply refers to keeping a distance of at least six feet from other people.
Employees in offices, receptionists in medical centers and hospitals, workers stationed at various point-of-purchase in public settings like cafes, grocery stores, pharmacies amongst others, will be exposed continuously to other people in public. The use of glass sneeze guards in such environments is necessary to keep everyone protected and to maintain the rule of social distancing.
Apart from keeping the distance, an excellent way to prevent the spread of the virus is to stop people from coming in contact with droplets. These droplets expelled by an infected person while sneezing or coughing as the case may be. Without sneeze guards, employees, and people who come in contact with clients and people regularly will be exposed to the high risk of contracting the virus.
This is even made riskier because some people may be infected with the virus and would remain asymptomatic. This means they do not show any symptoms and physical manifestations. As a result, using a sneeze guard is vital to protect your team, colleagues, and employees from contracting the virus and preventing further spread of the virus.
Sneeze guards help to guard against the spread of the coronavirus and to keep people protected.
CREATE HURDLE BETWEEN EMPLOYEE AND CLIENT: MYTH VS FACT
Before the coronavirus pandemic, glass partitions have been used in some point-of-purchase and office environments as a form of barrier between employees and clients. This may not be entirely for protective purposes, but it did not make client and employee interaction difficult or awkward.
The use of glass sneeze guards will not affect the interaction between clients and employees negatively. In fact, installing a sneeze guard may foster positive experiences and interactions between your employees and clients.
The current situation has seen many people more concerned about their health. This makes them look out for protective measures that official environment, businesses, and public spaces are putting in place. This is to ensure that they are well protected while conducting business on your premises. Installing a sneeze guard will not only make them feel protected, but also make them more likely to continue doing business with you.
Besides the above, the sneeze guards and protective panel from Fab Glass and Mirrors have been designed to make interactions between employees and people at point-of-purchase locations, official environments amongst others straightforward, easy, and convenient without stressing either of the parties involved.
ADDS CLUSTERED SETTINGS TO YOUR SHOP SPACE: MYTH VS FACT
Glass is a versatile material that fits into any space and complements existing setup or d or style. Before the pandemic, glass partitions have become great additions to office environments with added benefits for the office and office business.
Sneeze guards will not make your office environment or shop space look cluttered and disorganized. On the other hand, installing sneeze guards will provide your shop or office environment with the following benefits.
- It will increase productivity. Sneeze guards will bring the interactions between your clients and employees to focus on business alone. This ensures that clients’ issues are appropriately addressed, and more people can be attended without wasting time.
- A sneeze guard will reduce the need to make use of electricity during the day, as it will reflect natural light into your space. This will help you save some money on your electricity bill,
- Sneeze guards will transform your s=office space or the business environment from a dull look to a modern and elegant look that complements your workspace and is visually appealing.
DIFFICULT TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN: MYTH VS FACT
This general misconception trails glass used in interior decoration and uses in office environments. Compared to other materials used in interior decoration, glass is the only material that is very easy to maintain and keep in top shape without breaking a leg.
Sneeze guards like other glass products are very easy to keep clean and maintain to keep it in optimum shape and make it last longer.
A window cleaning solution can be made using dishwashing liquid and water. This is enough to keep the guard in top shape. Due to the pandemic and the need for protection, glass cleaners dedicated to cleaning purposes can be used as well. Fab Glass and Mirror has high-quality glass cleaners in stock that will keep your sneeze guards in top shape and also keep you protected.
CAN FALL AND BREAK EASILY: MYTH VS FACT
The “fall and break’ is a general misconception about glass products. Fab Glass and Mirror’s glass sneeze guards are produced from plexiglass. This is a glass type made of plastic material.
Plexiglass is not prone to breakage like standard glass. It would take an exceedingly extreme force to get plexiglass to shatter into pieces. This makes it durable and long-lasting. It also ensures that your employees are protected from the occurrence of the sneeze guard breaking and causing injuries.
Also, if it does break, it does not shatter into large glass shards as standard glass would. Plexiglass breaks into dull, flat pebble-like pieces that cannot cause any harm to your employees and makes it easy for the mess to be cleaned up afterward.
CONCLUSION
From the above, we arrive at the conclusion that glass sneeze guards are essential and necessary in offices, official environments, and points-of-purchase to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and to keep employees and members of the public protected.
