With Covid 19 closing theatres, and moving live shows to live streams- musicians, worldwide, are desperate to get back to doing what they love. The responsibility in maintaining a safe environment now falling into our own hands, it is time we made a change to adjust to the “new normal” way of life we now find ourselves in.
Guidelines suggest social distancing should be a priority when it comes to mixing with people you do not live with, and Sneeze screens have become essential for many businesses and industries to be able to return to work.
Our Goal with the Rshield range of cough guards is to make this process a lot less intimidating. Our products have been carefully developed with minimalist frames and are made from high quality/ easy to clean materials. The intention of the BioScreen design is to maintain the same level of communication and visibility needed in such work/social spaces. Yet at the same time leave you reassured that you are taking all the precautions to keep yourself and the others around you safe.
The protection screens can be a great way to ensure social distancing during rehearsals and shows, as they can act as dividers when 2m cannot be achieved.
RATstands are no stranger to protective screens, we have been designing and supplying sound protection screens, ‘The Acoustic Screen’, for over 25 years. Selling to performing arts venues such as the Sydney Opera House and Abbey Road Studios, to the education services and the military. We have used our knowledge to diversify our range of products to support all types of industries and businesses in returning to work safely.
The new Rshield range is designed to help prevent the spread of the Corona Virus and future inevitable pandemics. Developed from our sound protection screen, the BioScreen is a shield to assist in stopping the spread of bacteria between people in work or social spaces. The barrier will encourage social distancing and block airborne particles.
Unlike other designs (cough screen/ sneeze screen), the BioScreen has been carefully developed to be a fitting addition for safety in any situation. There are two materials to choose from:
Clear acrylic protective screen for 100% visibility and communication.
Poly-carbonate twin-wall screen for if you would prefer a bit more privacy.
RATstands intention for the Rshield range is to not make protection intimidating or intrusive. The BioScreen is available in 3 sizes, designed to allow space around you, without making you feel closed in. The versatility of the safety screen means this is a great addition for all spaces such as offices, restaurants, shops and schools.
Our virus screens are designed and made in the UK, in our London and Essex based facilities. 10% of the profits made from the Rshield range will be donated to the NHS Charities Together (registered no 1186569).’
