Months into the global COVID-19 pandemic, we have all become used to our out-and-about lives being somewhat different. Wearing face masks and/or visors and looking out for hand sanitiser stations has become normal. Social bubbles, the 'rule of six' and limited leisure choices look like they are here to stay for some time. Queuing to enter shops and keeping our distance from others are all normal practices now. Many large retailers and corporate firms have installed protective barrier screens at till points, counters and reception areas. But can you afford this if you are a smaller or independent retailer, service provider or office? Virus protection on a budget might seem impossible but here at Green Magic, we have solutions to suit all.
First things first, let's look at why protection screens should be considered a necessity rather than a luxury. As winter draws in, we are vulnerable to all sorts of airborne viruses. Using a simple screen really can control the spread of infection as it provides a barrier between you or your staff and members of the public.
A well-placed screen ensures that the tiny droplets emitted through coughing and sneezing are stopped in their tracks. As well as minimising the transmission of infection, counter screens help to highlight the importance of social distancing. Installing screens at close-contact areas really shows your customers how seriously you take theirs, and your staffs, safety.
We've noticed that a lot of the virus protection screens available aren't ideal for smaller spaces, let alone constrained budgets. Floor standing screens are no use in shops with small counters - and tend to be expensive. Counter screens - freestanding or with clamps - can also be awkward in some spaces. Hanging screens are the perfect solution when space is an issue, whether you have a shop, office, or salon to fit out.
We have two budget and space-conscious screen solutions to virus protection - ideal for when room and cost are big considerations. And a budget price doesn't mean low quality - the screen material is tough so won't rip or tear with normal use. Our screens are also beautifully clear so that visual contact is unhindered.
First up is our lightweight hanging protection screen. The Flexi Screen is made from tough and transparent PET film with gripper bars on the top and bottom. Available in two sizes, with hanging kits included, the Flexi Screen is brilliant value and can be hung from most ceilings. Simply suspend the screen from the ceiling at the height you want. With prices starting at just £27.50, this is an affordable solution for any small business.
Our second solution is the suspended protection screen. The screen itself is identical to the Flexi Screen - the difference is the hanging wire system included. This kit has an in-built push-button height adjustment feature which is super easy to use. This additional feature comes at a very small increase - units start from just £30.
Both of these products are excellent choices for smaller operations where space is a premium. When hanging your screen at a counter or reception, leave a gap at the bottom for goods and payment exchange. Both screens are also excellent as dividers in salons between stations or in offices between desks.
As you can see, virus protection does not have to an expensive or luxury addition to your operation. Not only are these solutions affordable, but installation is also quick and easy. You'll be sending out a positive message to your customers and clients, which they will appreciate without a doubt.
