Sneeze Guard

Sneeze guards are barriers typically made of transparent acrylic or polycarbonate plastic that are used to help protect against the spread of germs by blocking respiratory droplets from traveling between people. Sneeze guards are often used by businesses, such as supermarkets and pharmacies, other point-of-sale locations, and in medical settings.

Sneeze guards can be cleaned by spraying a plastic-safe solution onto the sneeze guard and then wiping it down with a clean microfiber towel. To maintain optical clarity and to prevent clouding or yellowing, use acrylic- and polycarbonate-safe cleaners like Novus Plastic Polish #1, Brillianize Plastic Cleaner, or a mild soap solution. Apply cleaners with a microfiber towel to avoid scratching the sneeze guard.

Sneeze guards can be disinfected regularly with a disinfectant approved for use on food contact surfaces. Acrylic disinfectants include pharmacy-grade hydrogen peroxide, household bleach, and isopropyl alcohol (water diluted to 30% strength). Compatible polycarbonate disinfectants include sBioMed Steriplex SD, Safetec Surface Wipes, Contec Healthcare Perodox RTU, and Contec Healthcare PS-911 EB Prostat Sterile Wipes.

The optimal height of a sneeze guard above the countertop or work surface should be between 18-24 inches. This height allows for easy visibility and communication between customers and staff while also providing a physical barrier to help prevent the spread of germs. The National Sanitation Foundation generally says that sneeze protectors should stand to reach the level of a six-foot-tall person`s mouth.

The primary purpose of sneeze guards is to protect people and other objects from the from the transmission of germs and viruses. Sneeze guards provide a large transparent physical barrier that prevents the transfer of germs and encourages social distancing.

Sneeze guards relatively inexpensive, but the price of the sneeze guard varies depending on the type of plastic material used and the size of the guard. Common materials for sneeze guards are acrylic and polycarbonate because of their optical clarity and impact resistance.

The best materials for a sneeze guard are polycarbonate and acrylic. Both polycarbonate and acrylic have excellent optical clarity and impact resistance, making them ideal for high-traffic environments such as classrooms, hospitals, and checkout counters at retail stores.

According to the National Sanitation Foundation, sneeze guards should be tall enough to reach the mouth height of an individual who is six feet tall. However, other industries such as food or medical may have additional requirements.
