ShowTex Helps Users Social Distancing at Work

The Corona crisis is greatly affecting all suppliers of the event industry and that includes ShowTex. The well-known specialist in flame-retardant textiles and drape suspension is currently shifting its focus to more corporate clients. "Our room dividers and freestanding partition solutions are perfect for rearranging office spaces. This way, we try to assist companies, schools, warehouses, hospitality, and other public spaces with safely resuming their activities while respecting social distancing guidelines."

Landscape offices and commercial buildings with a contemporary, open architecture face major health and safety challenges these days. A situation that triggered ShowTex to develop special sets of mobile dividers and separation curtains that can quickly create compartments and split up open spaces into sections. The partition systems allow the implementation of social distancing and circulation plans in a workplace that is safe, comfortable and still looks amazing, the company says. Both during, as well as after the pandemic.

All divider fabrics comply with international fire regulations and can be combined with printed designs or sound-absorbing materials. This way, the partitions can be used as custom-branded signage, or even improve the acoustics of a corporate space.

Every interior is unique, so flexibility is key. The DIY EasyDrape system lets users build curtain walls where needed, as the pipe and drape solution is adjustable in both height and width. After the Corona crisis, EasyDrape kits are easily converted into a completely different setup, but those looking for a more temporary solution can just as well go for the rental option.

For a sleeker look, there's the double-sided print frame. These aluminium frames allow users to stretch a piece of fabric on each side, ensuring flat partitions or dividers that hardly take up any space. The fabric skins can easily be changed for a new look. Adding sound-absorbing material can even transform them into actual acoustic panels.

Both EasyDrape as the frames match with many different fabrics. From transparent screens and see-through voiles to fabrics printed with custom artwork or acoustic textiles for extra privacy, the options are endless, the company says. There's also a more permanent option. Flexible separation curtains mounted on a rail divide an open space into safe sections that can be opened or closed when needed. The same wide range of materials is possible here, in line with any interior. There's even a special layered curtain available to create standalone workspaces that are visually and acoustically isolated from the rest of the space.

Those who are looking for creative ways to adapt their corporate facility to social distancing guidelines or want to equip their staff with cotton facemasks, can get in touch at hello@showtex.com. The international team is available, obviously from a distance, to help get companies back to work safely.
