Custom counter screens planned around your space

A protection screen is a transparent panel used to create physical separation across a desk or counter while keeping staff and visitors visible to each other. Often called a cough screen, sneeze guard or counter partition, it needs to fit the way the counter is actually used. Start with the furniture, working positions and transaction requirements before choosing the panel shape.

For a reception desk, consider sightlines to staff and signage. At a customer-service counter, allow room for documents, payment devices and equipment. For shared workstations, identify which edges need separation and how users will reach their workspace. Coordinate the result with your reception signage and visitor layout.

Screen layouts and fixing options

Freestanding countertop screens

Panels with supporting feet can suit counters where a removable arrangement is preferred. The feet need enough space on the surface, and the overall design must be stable for the proposed height and width. Share the counter depth and any overhangs so the support footprint can be considered.

Fixed and clamp-mounted screens

A fixed arrangement can be considered when the screen will remain in one position. Identify whether drilling is permitted and provide details of the counter edge, thickness and surface. A clamp or bracket must suit the actual furniture; confirm the mounting approach before fabrication.

Transaction openings and desk partitions

State what needs to pass through an opening, such as documents or a payment terminal, and give its required dimensions and position. Keep the working height comfortable for seated and standing users. Where multiple panels are needed, plan joints, corners and access together so the screen does not obstruct everyday work.

Materials, edges and everyday cleaning

Clear acrylic is one option to discuss for a lightweight, transparent counter screen. If the project specifies polycarbonate or safety glass, send the material and performance requirements so availability, support and fabrication can be checked before a quote is agreed. These materials are not interchangeable, and a photograph alone does not establish the required specification.

Panel size, thickness, edge finishing, opening shape and support positions should be reviewed together. Specify rounded corners where appropriate and identify frequent contact points. Ask for cleaning instructions for the selected material and finish, including compatible products and cloths. Avoid choosing a cleaner solely because it is suitable for the counter underneath.

From measurements to installation

1. Share the counter and intended use

Send front and side photographs, overall counter dimensions, proposed screen height, quantity and location. Mark monitors, cables, card readers, drawers and other obstructions. Explain whether the screen is intended to be removable or permanently fixed.

2. Agree the specification

Review panel dimensions, material, thickness, supports, corner details and any transaction opening. Initial measurements can support a quotation; agree who will verify final dimensions before production. If branding is required, provide the artwork and discuss its position without blocking useful visibility.

3. Approve the quotation and production details

Check the drawing or agreed dimensions against your working layout. Confirm the quantity, finish, fixings and delivery arrangements. Ask whether measurement visits, artwork, removal of existing screens and installation are included or priced separately.

4. Coordinate fitting and handover

Where installation is included, confirm access, working hours, furniture restrictions and any building-management requirements. Check the completed screen against the agreed scope and retain the material-specific care instructions. For related fitting requirements, see our installation service.

What affects the price of a cough screen?

Price depends on panel dimensions, quantity, material, thickness, cut-outs, edge finishing and supports. Several identical panels have a different production scope from individually shaped screens for multiple counters. Delivery, site measurements, removal and installation can also affect the total. Send photos and approximate sizes for an itemised quote; lead time is confirmed after the specification, materials and schedule are agreed.

Protection and cough screen questions

Can a screen be made to fit an existing counter?

Custom dimensions can be discussed around your furniture. Send the width, depth, intended panel height and photos showing the counter edges and equipment. Final measurements and the fixing method must be agreed before fabrication.

Can the screen include a document or payment opening?

Yes, an opening can be included in the proposed design where suitable. Specify the items that need to pass through and the opening dimensions and position. These details affect both usability and panel construction.

Do all screens need to be screwed into the counter?

No. Freestanding supports or suitable clamps may be alternatives, depending on the screen size and furniture. Tell the team if drilling is restricted so an appropriate arrangement can be assessed.

How should the screen be cleaned?

Follow the care instructions for the supplied panel and fixings. Confirm which cleaning products are compatible with the material, coating and any applied graphics before use.

What should I send to receive a quote?

Provide counter photos, approximate dimensions, panel quantity, opening requirements, fixing restrictions, site location and required date. Include a drawing or material specification if your project already has one.
