FRONTIER^® Office Screens

Yes, FRONTIER® Office Screens can be used in the fight against COVID-19 by being used as social distancing screens and privacy panels.

They form barriers between employees to prevent potentially infectious respiratory particles breathed out by one person from infecting their deskmate or work neighbour. These types of social distancing screens can be an effective tool in preventing the spread of any infectious illness in an office, so they can help to keep your employees healthy and productive particularly during the winter months. The part-glazed office screens and screen height extenders are manufactured from Perspex® or toughened safety glass so they can also be easily cleaned and regularly disinfected. 

Whilst the FRONTIER® office screens do not 100% stop the spread of COVID-19, they are a useful social distancing tool for use in offices where employees work in close proximity. 

Yes, FRONTIER® Screens can be linked to each other using the inline linking strips supplied with each screen purchase. To join, simply insert the linking strips into the aluminium frame extrusion, which then sits flush within the frame to create a neat finish. In addition to straight linking, you can add a junction post that enables 2, 3 or 4 panel screens to be linked in 90-degree angles to form t-shape or x-shapes across office desk pods and workstations. 

FRONTIER® Office Screens are suitable for use in a wide range of locations, including offices, reception areas, training rooms, call centres, hospitals, medical facilities, schools and colleges, libraries, retail, public and community buildings and hospitality venues. The range is incredibly versatile, with designs specifically created for different functions.

The standard fabric panels are common in offices for dividing up desk banks and creating temporary meeting spaces.

The acoustic screens are used to offer soundproofing in noisy office environments; when installed between employees or around noisy machinery, they can cut sound reverberation in an office by up to 70%.

The part-glazed, glazed and desk screen height extenders are designed for social distancing purposes, allowing light to travel through the space and facilitating communication between employees while helping to slow the spread of illnesses such as COVID-19, flu or norovirus.

The medical vinyl screens have antimicrobial properties, making them an ideal choice for hospitals, GP surgeries and other similar facilities. They are totally opaque for privacy, and easy to keep clean and hygienic.

The effectiveness of acoustic panels or partitions is measured using an NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) number. The NRC is an average rating of how much sound an acoustic product can absorb; for example, an NRC of 0 means that the product absorbs no sound, whereas an NRC of 1 means that the product absorbs all sound. The higher the NRC, the better the product is at soaking up the sound.

Our FRONTIER® acoustic screens have a layer of 18mm-thick sound absorbing acoustic foam between the internal board and the outer fabric finish. This acoustic foam is tested by SRL to BSEN ISO 354, and its NRC (Noise reduction coefficient) inferred result from SRL is 0.43 (based upon test reports 1306-1040 to 1042 and C/23213/T01).

When considering which partitions you require for your office, you will need to consider the size and shape, as well as the results you are trying to achieve, and your budget.

Office partitioning can be installed in a variety of different configurations. Good workplace design is all about making the most of the space you have available, and achieving your work environment goals with a series of office screens that are right for you. Social distancing has also become a new consideration when it comes to partitioning an office.

How do you allow employees to remain a safe distance from each other while still reducing the possibility of cross-contamination? This can be achieved by increasing the distance between desks, reducing the number of employees in a room, installing a series of Perspex® or glass dividers between employees, and adding wipeable surfaces or introducing antimicrobial fabrics to partitions and furniture. 

The FRONTIER® office partition range includes part-glazed partitions that have lower fabric-covered panels with a top half glazed panel in Perspex or safety glass. These are available as floor standing screens only. They are ideal for creating small meeting spaces or work pods. Thanks to the top 'vision' panels they create an open feel that doesn't feel small and claustrophobic. The bottom half that is covered with fabric acts as modesty panels that shield you whilst seated.

Our FRONTIER® screen height extenders are can be mounted on existing FRONTIER® screens to offer additional height and protection. They are supplied in either genuine Perspex® or toughened safety glass. Each screen panel includes brackets that attach to the aluminium frame. 

The FRONTIER® Medical Screens are made from an internal panel of 2 x 2.5mm medium density fibreboard (MDF) faces adhered (using water based adhesive) around 20mm recycled paper continuous vented honeycell beecore.

What makes them effective screens for medical environments is the layer of Camira Vita vinyl which is applied on top. This heavy-grade vinyl is treated with an anti-microbial additive that works to repel microbes and prevent odors from building up. The partitions are then finished with a 20mm (h) x 20.5mm (w) tensile strength aluminium frame epoxy powder coated in a silver or white finish. 

Every surface on the FRONTIER® Medical Screens is wipeable and hygienic. 

An anti-microbial screen refers to a special additive with which the vinyl surface is treated. This treatment works to repel microbes and prevent odours from building up, making it an ideal product technology for medical environments such as hospitals, GP surgeries, dentists, opticians, urgent care centres, care homes and any other facility that requires a high level of hygiene standard as it naturally fights the buildup of viruses and bacteria.
