Cost to install social distance acrylic protective screens
We spoke to one of our vetted Checkatrade members, Mr Misty, who’s been supporting businesses by installing Covid-19 protective screens to help with social distancing.
Although many screens are bespoke, the average Covid-19 protective screen cost ranges from £90 - £295 per screen.
The cost of the so-called ‘sneeze screens’ will depend on a number of factors, including:
Size
Shape
Type and thickness of screen material
Complexity of the installation
Any prep work to make the area suitable for having a screen installed
Standard Covid-19 protective screens tend to be 2mm Acrylic Perspex mounted in a solid timber frame. However, you can opt for a 4mm toughened safety glass alternative – at a higher cost per screen.
