You can choose whether or not you require polished edges for your counter. Edge polishing is a process whereby the exposed edges of your glass sneeze guards are polished to remove their sharpness.

We offer three different foot finishes/installation options for your glass sneeze guard. Different foot choices will suit different situations, so we leave this up to you. The first option for your glass sneeze shield is an aluminium channel. This channel is drilled into the top of your worktop and then the glass sneeze counter slots into the channel. This option allows your sneeze to shield the ability to be removed for cleaning and combines it with the security of a permanent fixture.

The second option for your glass sneeze guard is a discrete rubber strip foot. This rubber strip is affixed to the bottom of your sneeze counter and causes friction between the counter and the work surface. This friction, combined with the sneeze guards' weight, stops the unit from being accidentally knocked or jogged but allows the unit to be repositioned at will.

The third option for your glass sneeze shield is to silicone fix the unit to the worktop. This process provides the security of the aluminium channel however does not allow the glass sneeze guard to be removed. Please note, Futureglass will not as standard, carry out the installation work. If you require us to install the glass sneeze shield, then please contact us to see if this will be possible. An installation fee may be charged.

Once you have selected the installation method of your glass sneeze counter, we then ask you to specify the glass thickness you require. For most applications, 10mm glass will be suitable however if damage is a concern, we do offer thicker glass.

This section can at times be a little daunting as a lot of people don’t know the difference between the glass types. Allow us to explain, so you can choose the best option for your glass sneeze shield.

All of our glass is toughened so breakages are unlikely to occur. The difference between glass types is largely cosmetic. Standard toughened glass has a faint green tint, this is largely noticeable unless you attempt to colour the glass. In this case, the green tint will slightly alter the colour you apply to the glass. If colour is a concern for you and you feel the accuracy of colour is important for your sneeze guard, then we would recommend you choose low-iron glass. Low iron glass is specially formulated to remove the green tint and allows for a truer application of colour.

**Full-depth shelves are the glass thickness of the front panel minus 35mm shallower than the cabinet's overall depth to allow for sliding doors to be retrospectively fitted in the future.

We find that customers will often wish to include a shelf in their glass sneeze guards. We offer the ability to decide the number of shelves you require and the depth of these shelves, choosing from half-depth to full-depth. By default, we will divide the sections of your glass sneeze guard equally. If you would like to specify custom shelf spacing for your sneeze shield, then please indicate this to us using the special instructions section.
