Clear Screens for Reception, Pharmacy and Clinical Counters

Reception desks, pharmacy dispensary counters and clinical intake areas often need a clear physical screen between staff and the public, both for infection control and general workplace safety, without making the space feel closed off or unwelcoming.

Perspex Online cuts clear acrylic and polycarbonate screens to fit any counter, sized to your exact bench and existing signage or equipment layout rather than a generic panel that needs trimming on site.

Protective Medical Screens 1

Acrylic or Polycarbonate: Which Screen Material Suits Your Space

Acrylic sheet is the standard choice for most reception and pharmacy screens, offering excellent clarity, a clean cut edge and straightforward fabrication for pass-through openings and mounting brackets.

Polycarbonate is a better fit where the screen is likely to be knocked or leaned on regularly, such as busy public hospital counters, because it is far more impact-resistant than acrylic while still offering good clarity.

Protective Medical Screens 2

Pass-Through Trays, Speech Vents and Card Slots

We laser-cut pass-through trays, speech vents and card or document slots into screens so staff and patients can exchange paperwork, cards and medication without needing to step around the barrier.

Vent patterns can be sized to improve airflow and conversation clarity while still maintaining a physical barrier, and slot heights are matched to your existing counter for a comfortable working position.

Food Health Medical Applications

Freestanding vs Counter-Mounted Screens

Counter-mounted screens fix directly to an existing desk with brackets or clamps and suit permanent reception and dispensary setups, while freestanding screens on a base are a flexible option for temporary counters, pop-up clinics or spaces that are reconfigured regularly.

We can supply either format, or a combination where a permanent screen sits at a main counter and freestanding units cover secondary or overflow stations.

Custom Screen Sizes for Clinics, Pharmacies and Hospitals

Send us your counter dimensions, or a rough sketch of the layout, and we will confirm sizing, pass-through placement and mounting method before fabrication.

All screens are cut and fabricated on the Gold Coast and shipped Australia-wide, priced ex GST based on material and size. Get a quote for protective screens for your clinic or pharmacy.

Protective Medical Screens FAQ

Acrylic or polycarbonate, which is better for a busy counter?
Polycarbonate is more impact-resistant and suits busier, higher-traffic counters, while acrylic gives a cleaner finish for lower-traffic clinical spaces.
Can you cut a pass-through tray into the screen?
Yes, we laser-cut pass-through openings, trays and speech vents to your required size and height.
Do screens come with mounting brackets?
Yes, we can supply counter-mount brackets or a freestanding base depending on your setup.
Can you match a screen to an existing counter with equipment already in place?
Yes, send us measurements around any existing equipment or signage and we will cut cutouts to suit.
How thick should a protective screen be?
Most reception and pharmacy screens use 5-6mm acrylic or polycarbonate, which is rigid enough to stand unsupported over typical counter widths.
