Frequently Asked Questions
Are plexiglass sneeze guards better than glass barriers?
If you’re considering the option that’s lightweight, has great impact resistance, and fabrication flexibility, then plexiglass sneeze guards are better. The fact that they are easier to cut, route, drill, and install compared to glass makes them the more practical option for counters and similar spaces that need a clear barrier.
What’s the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate sneeze guards?
Acrylic has that clear, glass-like appearance that’s ideal for retail counters and other customer-facing areas. Polycarbonate has a higher impact resistance, though, which makes it a suitable option for busier workspaces or areas where the guard may take more contact.
Can you make plexiglass sneeze guards for unusual counter shapes?
Absolutely. At Polymershapes, we fabricate the barrier needed to fit your space.
Do sneeze guards need to be permanently attached?
Not always. Some are fixed in place, while others can be made as movable or freestanding partitions. The option you choose depends on several factors that we discuss with you before fabrication.
