This webinar will look at the ways that sliding glass room dividers can be used in an efficient, unobtrusive manner to create smarter and safer spaces. The concepts presented are based on real world solutions to isolating people and helping to prevent the spread of disease while still providing light, air, and other amenities to the enclosed spaces. In particular, solutions are shown that do not require extensive construction, thus making retrofits of existing buildings quick, simple, and economical as is also true for new construction. Installations ranging from 2 to 500 openings can be accomplished very quickly with no downtime and often no need for building permits. This allows for quick transformations of a room within hours instead of days or weeks.
