In today’s post, I’m excited to introduce a versatile product that is particularly useful in shared spaces like workplace lunchrooms. This product offers an effective and stylish way to create physical barriers between individuals, enhancing safety and privacy. If you’re looking for a simple, removable solution to protect your employees, family, or even customers, then this product could be a great fit for your needs. Let’s explore how it works!
The Product Overview
The example shown in the accompanying video demonstrates a well-organized lunchroom, where tables have been divided to allow two people to sit on opposite sides, shielded by a clear partition. It’s a clean and simple application, ideal for maintaining social distancing without disrupting the environment.
The product consists of three main components:
- The Upright Post: The post holds the partition in place.
- The Magnetic Base: Ensures the partition stays securely on the table but is easy to remove when needed.
- The Plexiglass/Acrylic Partition: This forms the physical barrier between individuals.
Each component is carefully designed to work together, making installation a breeze.
Assembly Breakdown
This product arrives with all the necessary components for both the upright post and the base, conveniently packaged in two separate bags. The assembly process is straightforward:
- The Post: You can choose between a round or square post. The post includes a gasket or spline, which is used to slide in the acrylic or plexiglass partition. The material can be either clear, like the example in the video, or decorative to suit your design preferences.
- The Base: In the demo, a magnetic base is used, which makes it easy to attach and remove the partition. The base comes with a washer backed by 3M adhesive, which ensures it stays firmly attached to the table surface. The post is then securely mounted onto the base using a strong magnet. This feature allows the partition to be easily removed for cleaning or when tables need to be moved.
For those seeking a more permanent solution, there’s an alternative base that can be directly screwed into the table for a more fixed setup.
Customization and Sizing
The posts come in different lengths, including 18, 24, and 30 inches, allowing flexibility depending on your specific needs. In the example, a 24-inch post is used, which means the plexiglass is also cut to 24 inches. It’s important to note that when ordering the product, you will need to get your acrylic or plastic partition separately and cut it to the desired size.
Easy Ordering
The ordering process is refreshingly simple. You only need to purchase two key components:
- A bag containing the base and its corresponding parts.
- A post, which comes with the gasket or spline.
Once you have these two items, the only additional component required is the acrylic or plastic partition, which you can source and cut yourself to fit the post length you choose.
A Practical and Safe Solution
This product is an excellent solution for workplaces, dining areas, or any shared space where people need to be physically separated but still engage with one another. With its easy setup, removable design, and strong materials, it offers a practical, safe, and clean way to maintain social distancing.
Whether you’re looking to protect your employees, customers, or family, this is an efficient way to create barriers without making drastic changes to your environment.
