Necessity is the mother of invention and the COVID-19 outbreak has made taking safety measures for our health a vital necessity. Human interaction, which was something we took for granted in our workplaces, is something that has to be now necessarily monitored with the wearing of face masks and the use of hand sanitizers. It is heartening to see that the human race has risen to the challenge of carving out a new normal so that our lives and its routine may resume. Yet, in an office wearing a face mask for seven to eight hours constantly can be suffocating. In the current scenario, ImpalaGlass has used its toughened glass to create partitions for workplaces to create a clear barrier between people to encourage interaction yet provide protection.
For employees interacting with clients and visitors, this toughened safety glass termed as ‘Corona Glass’ is five times stronger than annealed and laminated glass of the same size and thickness and proves to be a barrier protecting one from the breath or cough droplets of other people. These Corona Glass installations can be connected to horizontal rails of aluminum at the top and bottom enabling light to enter and allowing flexibility. The reason for choosing the toughened glass from the Impala range of Architectural glass is its feature of transparency allowing daylight, versatility, effectiveness, space saving and low ownership costs. They are simple and easy to clean, heat resistant and can be customized as per a workspace’s requirements, architecture, décor and dimensions.
The installation of Impala’s Corona Glass is ideal for counter and desks in banks, public buildings and offices. They are already in operation at the Impala Glass Offices located on Addis Ababa Road, Nairobi Industrial area, Kenya, East Africa. Apart from sanitization and thorough cleaning of the premises, washing and sanitizing of the hands of all employees and daily temperature checks, the Corona Glass installation at the Impala Glass premises is testimony to how the organization values its employees and takes all possible measures to ensure their health. Impala Glass processes a wide range of toughened glass products from architectural to retail and domestic to a maximum size of 3000 mm wide x 2000 mm long from 5 mm up to 15 mm thick in monolithic shape.
