How will commercial buildings have to adapt for life post Covid?

We are currently living through unprecedented times in modern history. The Coronavirus global pandemic has forced people to dramatically adapt their lives both personally and professionally. As the nation’s workforce begin to return to work, how will the ‘new normal’ look for commercial enterprises and what can be done to reduce risk?

Health and safety in commercial buildings

Commercial buildings are subject to stringent health and safety regulations. Supermarkets, department stores, offices and universities are all places which see thousands of people come and go every day. Ensuring that these spaces are safe is complex and difficult under normal circumstances. With the increased virus threat, specialists are looking at new ways to protect both workers and customers from the spread of disease.

We’ve already seen the plastic screens in supermarkets, now these will start to become commonplace in offices and other places of business across the country. A new focus on hand hygiene will see hospital-like hand gel stations at building entrances and strategically placed around a building interior to promote hygienic behaviour. And Dutch company Clean Trolley have designed a trolley wash which will disinfect a trolley in seconds.

Supporting safety at Techniglaze

At Techniglaze, we manufacture, supply, and install a wide range of both commercial and residential glazing products. Following recent government guidelines, we are now once again open for business and ready to support our customers for life post-Covid.

If you’re involved in the management of a commercial enterprise and you want to ensure that your employees and customers are as safe as possible, there is one particular product which we fabricate at Techniglaze, which could prove vital in combating the disease. Our automatic doors are already used in hundreds of businesses across the south of England and will significantly reduce hand contact when entering a building.

High performing automatic doors for a range of applications

Aluminium automatic doors

At Techniglaze, our automatic doors are designed and manufactured to provide easy and log lasting access to almost any commercial premises. Using the latest censor technology, our automatic doors can be activated as soon as a person nears the building’s entrance. They are compatible with our full range of curtain walling and shopfronts and will greatly decrease the risk of a second Covid 19 spike.

Our automatic doors can be specified in a range of sizes and configurations. They can be fully adapted to your requirements and can function as either a horizontal sliding door or swing opening doors. For commercial premises which see a constant influx of people throughout the day, automatic doors are the safest choice for your business.

If you’re planning to adapt your commercial building for life post Covid, then our automatic doors could help you to protect against illness and potentially save lives. For more information about our range of automatic doors, our commercial glazing work or any of our products or services call Techniglaze on 01767 417 654 or contact us online.

Our latest reviews

Ali & Fi

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.

Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.

Mary

We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.

Roy Robinson

I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.

Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.

These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.

First class service for my window repair, with tricky access issues and a large, heavy glazed unit to install. Really glad I chose this company.

I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
