Safety Barriers for Schools, Offices, Government Buildings, and Retail Stores

July 31st, 2020 COMMENTS
Safety Dividers and Barriers

Are you searching for acrylic walls to serve as a protective barrier for a reception area, lobby, desk, conference table, or a line? It’s challenging because how they’re described varies. For example, there are safety dividers, safety barriers, sneeze guards, protective walls, dividers, barriers, partitions, and shields.

Regardless of the supplier, the concept is similar. Create a barrier between you and someone else with a freestanding or mounted wall. Most are clear, using an acrylic. Others are translucent. And some even have graphics on part or all of the barrier. Obviously, heights, sizes, and shapes vary as does the overall design (from crude plex held together with hook and loop to custom wood, aluminum, and graphic-branded partitions).

Dividers to Fit Your Design and Budget

What you need will depend on your budget and design requirements, but in nearly all cases, the safety divider will require some customization if you want the dividers to either blend into or enhance your current environment.

We’ve all seen safety barriers in stores, banks, or medical buildings that are neither attractive nor effective. Some are downright ugly and unsanitary. You don’t want that, right? See the examples below or HERE and then contact Classic Exhibits or a local Classic Distributor.

Protective Safety Dividers in Any Size or Configuration

Protective Safety Dividers and Barriers

Protective Safety Dividers are now essential in retail stores, schools, offices, churches, events, and any public gathering. They create physical distance, maintain order, and protect people where groups are present. In permanent or semi-permanent situations, base plates are the logical choice. Where the dividers are meant to be temporary or quickly moved, then castors are the best option.

Our Safety Dividers are constructed from engineered aluminum extrusion. Engineered aluminum is lightweight but significantly stronger and more durable than traditional thin-walled aluminum profiles. The satin anodized surface protects the aluminum from abrasions and retains a glossy shine under the most challenging environments.

Need additional dividers or custom sizes? The modular extrusion connects seamlessly to any vertical or horizontal post. Custom requests are always welcome regardless of the size project. See the photos for recent projects.

Choose from clear acrylic, frosted plex, or graphic insert options.

Your PPE Wingman

Personal Protection guidelines are starting to unfold for schools, universities, medical facilities, and businesses. We are deep in that mix and know it very well. Currently, we have about twenty schools under our belt, eight banks, and several hospitals. And the requests are growing exponentially.

PPE is an immediate need for these organizations, and they are desperate for your guidance and expertise. They don’t want tacky acrylic barriers held together with Velcro and unfinished wood. They want attractive, professional solutions.

You can significantly increase your closing percentage by asking us to participate in the call with your client. We’re available, whether you need assistance on product specifications, design, or simply a wingman to close the deal.

PPE Business is Local

From our experience, all PPE business is local. Your greatest asset is leveraging local relationships, personal friendships, and existing clients to find new opportunities. People love doing business with friends, acquaintances and vendors who support them. In most cases, they won’t find or contact you. You have to find them by calling, emailing, or visiting their website or social media pages. 

The planning process has started for schools, churches, banks, museums, retail locations and offices so the timing is ideal. Become the local expert for PPE products. We’re here to help you any way we can.
