3. Plexiglass Barriers: Technical Details
Plexiglass, also known as acrylic, is a versatile and durable material commonly used for barriers. Here are some technical details to consider:
Thickness: The thickness of plexiglass barriers can vary depending on the intended use and level of protection required. Thicker barriers provide greater strength and durability.
Clarity: Plexiglass is highly transparent, allowing for clear visibility. However, the clarity can be affected by factors such as scratches, dust, and UV exposure.
Durability: Plexiglass is a strong and durable material that can withstand impact and weathering. However, it is not completely shatterproof, and excessive force can cause it to crack or break.
Maintenance: Plexiglass barriers can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.
Customization: Plexiglass can be easily cut, shaped, and polished to meet specific needs. This allows for a wide range of customization options, including different sizes, shapes, and finishes.
Installation: Plexiglass barriers can be installed using a variety of methods, including screws, bolts, or adhesives. The installation method will depend on the specific application and the desired level of security.
By understanding these technical details, you can make informed decisions when selecting and installing custom plexiglass barriers for your business or organization.
4. Why Custom Plexiglass Barriers?
While some companies may be able to use standard plexiglass barriers, others require custom plexiglass barriers. The benefits include:
Tailored Design: Custom plexiglass can be cut, shaped, and polished to meet specific needs and fit different environments. This allows for unique and personalized designs that can enhance the appearance and functionality of your space.
Enhanced Functionality: Custom plexiglass barriers can be designed with features such as openings, hinges, or locks to meet specific requirements.
For example, a custom plexiglass sneeze guard with an opening can allow for easy interaction while maintaining a physical barrier.
Improved Aesthetics: Custom plexiglass can be finished with various treatments, such as etching, engraving, or painting, to create a more visually appealing and professional look.
Increased Efficiency: Custom plexiglass barriers can be designed to optimize space and workflow, improving efficiency and productivity in your business.
Better Fit: Custom plexiglass can be precisely tailored to fit your specific space, ensuring a seamless and professional appearance.
In summary, custom plexiglass offers greater flexibility, functionality, and aesthetic appeal compared to regular plexiglass.

Testimonials
“Great service - the plexiglass installation was excellent. Looks very professional. I searched for various options but found the most professional design was with AGC. Staff were knowledgeable, courteous and the work was done very quickly. And, we were able to get signage at the same time. I would use AGC again if needed.”
“I reached out to Adrian in June to help me get my small business ready for “back to work.” He and Rhonda were fast and professional, met with me 2 days later to walk me through the options, and a few days later I had a slick, professional looking three piece plexi-shield for my admin desk area, and 4 portable table top sneeze shields of custom size. Since then I have ordered twice more from AGC, and it is always smooth sailing. Adrian offered to install for us, but it was easy for me to do myself, and he gave pretty clear instructions.”
