Maysteel Industries LLC, a sheet metal fabricator, announced the launch of its polycarbonate Germ Guard accessory line to help prevent the spread of illness and encourage social distancing practices, according to a press release. The Germ Guard is made with transparent polycarbonate panels that enable the design to be flexible, durable and lightweight. The Germ Guard can be shipped UPS standard and is easily installed by employees.

"Our customers are looking for solutions to help protect people in essential businesses, and in cities that are beginning to lift stay-at-home orders," Don Lawinger, executive vice president at Maysteel, said in the press release. "We developed the Germ Guard as another layer of protection so people can feel more confident about returning to retail locations, commercial sites, and other high-traffic areas."

Maysteel's Germ Guard barrier is available in both mobile and floor-mounted versions to support temporary and permanent installations. As a custom fabricator, Maysteel designed the Germ Guards to be customizable and configurable for end-user and branding needs, including incorporating specific brand colors on the supports.

"The Germ Guard barrier is meant to be used in a variety of locations, from retail counters to self-service kiosks, or airports and train stations," Lawinger said.
