What is the Difference Between Plexiglass and Acrylic Sneeze Guards
When looking into sneeze guards for healthcare facilities, many wonder whether Plexiglass or acrylic sneeze guards are their best option, as well as what the differences between the two are. The truth is that these materials are one and the same: Plexiglass is merely a brand name for the acrylic material! Thus, there's no difference when it comes to how sneeze guards of either designation keep those in your healthcare facility safe.
Acrylic sneeze guards are also a much better option than products made from actual glass. Glass sneeze guards tend to be incredibly heavy, even if they look lightweight. In the event that they fall or drop, they're susceptible to shattering upon impact, leaving users with both a mess and without a sneeze guard. Given their glass construction, this can make these sneeze guards incredibly expensive to replace, as well. With durability and pricing on their side, acrylic or Plexiglass sneeze guards are a much better option, both for short-term and the long-haul of your healthcare facility's budget and safety concerns.
