As North Carolina begins to move forward with re-opening measures, and businesses navigate social distancing in the marketplace, HMI Cardinal has launched Cardinal SHIELD, a glass barrier product that protects customers and employees in retail settings.
Cardinal SHIELD barriers are a tempered clear glass that serves as a durable and aesthetic alternative to traditional plexiglass barriers. These barriers limit exposure to respiratory droplets and can be custom-made for points-of-purchase, restaurants, check-in stations, office spaces, reception desks, and other retail establishments.
HMI Cardinal is a fabricator of custom glass shower enclosures in the U.S., with a legacy that dates back to 1948. An expert in producing glass barriers, the company has pivoted its business model to fill this new need created by the COVID-19 crisis.
All Cardinal SHIELD panels are coated with Cardinal C-10 Surface Protectant for a non-stick surface that repels grime, mineral build-up and soap residue. The panels are also shatterproof and resistant to scratching.
Cardinal SHIELD barriers can be made-to-order in custom sizes and shapes. Specialty cutouts and custom configurations are available, and panels can be anchored horizontally or vertically as a space requires. The glass barriers also come complete with touch corners for peace of mind. Mounting hardware for Cardinal SHIELD panels are offered in an array of metal finishes and those looking for branding opportunities can add Cardinal’s Satori digital in-glass printing to create custom logos, text, or graphic design elements to the glass.
Already being implemented in retail, office, hospitality, and healthcare spaces across the U.S., Cardinal SHIELD provides an added comfort to daily in-person interactions between consumers, co-workers, clients, patients, and guests.
