We all know the difference between a “need” and a “want.” Four months ago, you may have wanted safety dividers and barriers for your offices, but it wasn’t critical. Now, with employees and customers returning, that want is now an immediate need. Fortunately, all custom and standard safety dividers are on sale through October 31.
We Specialize in Custom Sizes and Shapes
Don’t see the right size or shape. No problem. Most safety dividers and barriers are custom built to match your unique requirements. Give us a call or contact a Classic Exhibits Distributor. There are over 200 Distributors in North America.
A resourceful Classic Distributor reminded me this week that there are business opportunities everywhere… if you are willing to ask questions. She shared this inspiring story with me about taking her kids to the dentist.
How a Routine Dental Visit Turned Into an Order
“I took my kids to their normal cleaning and check-up at their pediatric dentist. During the visit, I noticed that they were using low-quality, ineffective shower curtains as dividers. The curtains served as partitions in the open room where pre-COVID they would see up to four patients.
“After the dentist finished the exams, I asked how COVID was affecting his business. He said he wasn’t permitted to see the same volume of patients because of the open room configuration. He then mentioned that he was looking into higher-end solutions. I told him that my company was regularly building those types of structures for medical offices, lobbies, and retail stores.
“With his help, I did some quick measurements and offered to send him an estimate. In addition, I told him I would also send him a rendering showing how the dividers would look in his space. This was on a Wednesday.
“By Thursday I had pricing and a rendering from Classic. By Friday he placed the order. We installed them two weeks later. At the install, we had everything unpacked and in place in about 45 minutes. We did custom colors to match his fun office design, and he was very pleased with the quality and ease of assembly. Once they were installed, he had concerns about kids playing around the walls so we talked to Classic again and ordered a few more parts so that we could secure them to the ceiling in his office.”
The Classic Distributor sent us photos and videos (which we really appreciate). See the transformation.
Let’s pretend for a moment that you run a restaurant, manage operations for a airport, or own a hotel in a post-COVID world. Don’t stress… this is just pretend. No need to cash in your 401K. 😉
You need to add safety dividers to create comfortable and safe social distancing in your facility.
A local PPE vendor has proposed three solutions: clear acrylic, clear acrylic with repeating vinyl graphics, or printed graphics. The prices are close enough that it’s more about choosing the right solution for your environment and your brand. They are equally functional, safe, and easy-to-clean. What would you choose? Does it depend on the business?

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 orHERE and then contact Classic Exhibits or a local Classic Distributor.
ProtectiveSafety 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.
