Rockford Systems GermBlock™ Cough and Sneeze Shield, Standard Tabletop with Extended Leg, 36"H x 24"L - CSG3624EX

GermBlock™ shields limit airborne droplets resulting from coughing, sneezing or speaking from reaching a nearby person, therefore helping to mitigate possible COVID-19 infection.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing businesses to take extra precautions for the well-being of employees and customers. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that employers should have a COVID-19 health and safety plan to protect employees that includes placing barriers (e.g., sneeze guard) between employees and customers and employees working in close proximity.

GermBlock cough and sneeze guards limit the spread of airborne droplets resulting from coughing, sneezing or speaking from reaching a nearby person, therefore helping to mitigate possible COVID-19 infection.

Constructed of heavy-duty clear 3/16" polycarbonate and 16-gauge 304 stainless steel 3/4" framing with full penetration welds, the panels are immediately available in standard versions including table top, floor standing and extended-leg versions in popular sizes. To ensure shield stability, floor standing shields include foot plates with gussets and tabletop shields include front and side mounting brackets. Custom shields are also available, which include a broad array of size and mounting options, as well as casters.

Although polycarbonate is half the weight of standard glass, it provides 250 times the impact resistance, whereas acrylic provides only 17 times the impact resistance. Polycarbonate is non-flammable, highly resistant to chemicals, can be drilled without cracking, and can be exposed to high temperatures. Additionally, polycarbonate allows access to natural light and shields out harmful ultraviolet rays. The stainless-steel frame allows the shields to be washed down and sterilized per the CDC's recommendation for frequent cleaning. The full penetration welds eliminate gaps or cracks that prevent bacterial build up.

GermBlock shields are Made in the USA, 100 percent manufactured in Rockford, Illinois. Given its Midwest operations and centralized geographical location, orders can be turned around quickly to support customers with urgent bio shielding needs.

PRODUCT MODELS:

There are three models of GermBlock shields: floor standing, tabletop and tabletop with extended legs (18" extension) options.

PRODUCT TYPES:

There are two types of GermBlock cough and sneeze shields depending upon the application: standard and clean room options. Both are available in the same sizes, but the clean room version features a 1/4" gap in between the polycarbonate and the stainless-steel frame, allowing for deeper cleaning around the edges and in corners.

Industry Uses for GermBlock Shields:

INDUSTRIAL USE For industrial settings such as factories, warehouses and assembly lines, GermBlock cough and sneeze protective barriers can be placed in between employees standing or sitting in close proximity at work stations.

COMMERCIAL USE GermBlock cough and sneeze guards can be installed between office cubicles to extend the wall height between workers. In addition to extending physical distancing, GermBlock shields also provide other office space benefits, such as insulating against noise to create a quieter workspace and blocking against damaging ultraviolet rays to prevent interior decor from fading.

CLEAN ROOM USE For clean settings such as microprocessor, medical, food and beverage, pharma and personal care product manufacturers, GermBlock cough and sneeze shields are designed with 1/4" poly-to-frame gap construction for superior cleaning access and materials intended to be clean-room compatible per USDA and FDA standards. GermBlock's corrosion-resistant stainless-steel frame allows the shields to be washed down frequently with hot water, cleaning solutions and high-pressure sprays.

CUSTOMER DESK USE GermBlock shields install easily and securely at customer counters, cashier stations, deli counters, pharmacies, fuel centers and more to protect employees and customers while completing face-to-face transactions. As the economy re-opens, GermBlock shields are ideal for any other high-traffic areas such as bank teller stations, coffee shops, hotel reception desks, and take-out/pick-up locations.

CLEANING:

GermBlock shields can be cleaned with surface and sterile wipes, ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, and dish-washing soap solution, all of which are cleaning agents specifically recommended by the CDC in the fight against the human coronavirus. Use a porous cloth or sponge to clean. Click to see Cleaning Instructions.

Do not use Clorox bleach, bleach- or quaternary ammonium-based broad spectrum cleaners, or Lysol disinfectant spray as they will cause the poly to become brittle.

REPLACEMENT PANELS:

Rockford Systems provides replacement panels for all shapes and sizes. Pre-drilled holes allow your organization to quickly and easily swap out an older shield with a new shield in a matter of minutes. Although due to the inherent strength of the poly, most organizations will never need to replace the panels.
