Why Sneeze Guards Are Essential for Your Business

Sneeze guards are essential to your business, especially during the pandemic. They are useful in many different locations and add further protection between individuals. A portable sneeze guard can help slow infection rates, plus it is easy to clean, move, and put away.

Our sneeze guards can be customized to your business’s individual needs. We have many options, as we want to provide a more efficient system for protecting yourself and your customers, which we will get into below.

Below are all the reasons why sneeze guards are essential for your business right now.

Sneeze Guards Protect People from Infection

In many businesses, social distancing between workers can be difficult. Sneeze guards have Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, qualities recognized by the CDC. This means that they have been shown to slow down cases of infection- even when the parties involved were not wearing masks.

We find that our sneeze guards are ideal for any type of work area where more than one person frequents. Areas such as conference rooms, breakrooms, check-out counters, and other work stations can be protected by our portable sneeze guards. If your business wants permanent options, we have those available as well.

With children returning to class soon, schools should also consider setting up sneeze guards along with the rest of their equipment. They would provide a barrier between teacher and student, so that they may safely return to school without fear of becoming ill.

If you run a restaurant, then some form of sneeze guard would provide you and your patrons extra protection. Delete (might be required by your state.) If you have some in place already, you might want to consider adding more to additional common areas or upgrading them.

In short, coughing and sneezing are how the virus is transferred. These guards greatly lower the risk of infection.

Sneeze Guards Bring Peace of Mind

If you are running a restaurant, hotel, or another type of tourist attraction- then sneeze guards are essential. They bring peace of mind to nervous customers, who might not return if they felt that your establishment was not clean enough.

Shields and sneeze guards demonstrate to customers that you care about their health and overall well-being. This means that they will be more likely to return to your place of business in the future, as they felt comfortable during their time with you.

By taking the time to set up additional PPE, you are also showing your employees that you are doing your best to protect them. Employees that feel safe at work are essential to keeping your business running- if they left because their health was endangered, your business would not survive the duration of the pandemic.

Sneeze Guards Encourage Good Hygiene

When employees and customers take note of portable sneeze guards or other PPE, they are reminded to practice good hygiene. In businesses that used more protective equipment, employees washed their hands or used sanitizer more frequently than in those that had less.

Overall, this would lead to fewer cases of coronavirus infection. Plus, the guards had greatly reduced the odds of transmission already. The more options you provide your customers and employees to protect themselves, no matter the type of store you run, the more successful you will be during the pandemic.

We Can Customize Them for You

At Charleston Sign and Banner, we have a CNC router delete (specialized machine) that will tailor the sneeze guard to your exact needs. We have options for shaping them to curved counters or leaving an open pass-thru area- our options are endless.

We also can style them however you like. You could get frosted, clear, or even add a logo or message to the guard. They look nice, and with a little customization, feel unintrusive to your space. We offer portable sneeze guards for ease of use, hanging versions, and other permanent fixtures as well.
