Is there a way to safely reopen schools in the middle of a pandemic? How can we keep our children safe in classrooms? How can the risk of germs spreading be reduced? These are some of the questions in the parent's minds regarding sending kids back to school.

ClearSpace wants to address these concerns by creating a protective barrier solution that reduces the risk of virus transmission and protects K-12 Students.
The ClearSpace Safety Barriers is a versatile desk partition system. It consists of three interlocking panels that safely and efficiently attach to desks of any size with screw-on clamps.
It protects students sitting at their desks and minimizes the need to wear masks. They stay upright even if knocked into, because they are securely attached to the desk with clamps. And they are easy to clean/disinfect, since they are made from hi-impact acrylic with a smooth surface.

The ClearSpace Safety Barriers consists of three main components: a curved "Sneeze Guard" front panel and two identical side panels. Each panel has two metal clamps fastened onto a transparent acrylic sheet.

The design is modular. You can attach various lengths of the front and side panels to create the protective enclosure that fits onto different desk sizes. All the exposed corners have generous radii for safety purposes.

It is extremely simple to install and take apart. Just slide the panels in place and tighten the thumbscrews on the clamp. No tool is required.
Since the panels are attached to the desk's outside edge, students don't lose valuable desk space. The side panel's top edge is color-coded to help the teacher group and assign seats for students.

A nameplate is also included on the front panel. Students can manage the computer cable and charging wire through the lower corner slot.
The ClearSpace Safety Barriers is essential equipment for schools wanting to use barriers to reduce the risk of viral transmission.
