Custom Sneeze Guards and Plexiglass Shields

The choice of glass barrier material and design depends on several factors, including the location and timeframe for use. For instance, if your sneeze guard is permanent, standard glass is the best choice. If it is seasonal or semi-permanent, consider a Lexan or plexiglass shield. These options are easier to move and, in some cases, less expensive than standard glass.

Here is a closer look at the material and design options for sneeze guards.

  • Plexiglass: Made of acrylic, plexiglass shields are lightweight and more scratch-resistant than Lexan shields. They are known to resist yellowing and are stronger than standard glass.

  • Lexan glass: Like plexiglass, Lexan is not actually glass. It is a polycarbonate resin thermoplastic. Lexan is best for absorbing impact because it is more flexible than plexiglass.

  • Standard glass: For permanent sneeze guard applications standard glass may be your best option because of its stability and scratch resistance.

  • Temporary sneeze guards: If you need a sneeze guard quickly or for a short-term event, our temporary options are convenient and cost-effective. These plexiglass or Lexan barriers are designed to be easily installed and removed.

  • Permanent sneeze guards: Permanent sneeze guards are an essential safety measure in a variety of settings, including banks, hospitals, buffet restaurants, and retail checkout counters.

    I had a break-in at a business so I called the Glass Doctor. They were very nice and were able to get out to me first thing that morning and replace the glass in a very timely manner. The glass door looks great. I would recommend them to anyone.

    We just had Glass Doctor fix our panes, 8 in our house. They do beautiful professional work. I recommend them to everyone. Our windows were 3 panes thick and the seals broke. There was steam in between the glass and it looked chalky.

FAQ About Sneeze Guards and Plexiglass Shields

Whether you're a restaurant owner trying to decide on the type of sneeze guard material you need or a boutique manager wondering how much a sneeze guard costs, we've answered some of your most frequently asked questions our commercial customers have asked us in the past.
  • Sneeze guards may be temporary or permanent. While they both serve the same purpose, materials and installation vary. Here is when you should opt for a temporary sneeze guard made of plexiglass or Lexan glass. 

    • Pop-up events: Festivals, farmers markets, and food trucks
    • Temporary food service areas: Catering, corporate events, and conferences
    • Seasonal needs: Summer outdoor dining or holiday markets

    Permanent sneeze guards consist of regular glass. They are designed for long-term protection. These are a better option in the following settings. 

    • Restaurant counters and buffets: Sneeze guards help prevent contamination of food from coughing, sneezing, or talking. They ensure food safety in self-service areas like salad bars, dessert stations, and buffet lines.
    • Retail checkout counters: The glass can protect both customers and employees from respiratory droplets during transactions. Sneeze guards are common in grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience stores where close face-to-face interaction occurs.
    • Healthcare facilities: The glass helps shield front-desk staff and patients during check-ins, especially in high-traffic environments like reception areas where maintaining a safe distance may be challenging.
    • Office reception desks: Glass creates a physical barrier between visitors and administrative staff, minimizing the risk of airborne transmission in shared spaces.
    • Schools and universities: Sneeze guards work in cafeterias, registration desks, and shared study spaces, where they reduce the spread of germs between students and staff.
    • Libraries and public facilities: Sneeze guards protect employees who interact with the public frequently, such as librarians or public service staff, while still allowing for communication.
