British office furniture giant Bisley will provide ultraviolet lighting for conference rooms and telephone booths to kill bacteria and viruses.
This is the latest batch of UV lighting products on the market after the outbreak of Covid-19. The company stated that the unit manufactured by Vetrospace in Finland is “the most hygienic private modular space on the market.”
The clean room version has passed ISO-7 clean room certification, and is equipped with anti-microbial photon disinfection lighting, which can kill bacteria including MRSA and E. coli.
When entering the Vetrospace space, ANTiBAC clean lighting automatically starts, which will limit the growth of microorganisms; when leaving, the intelligent air ultraviolet disinfection lamp lights up. This produces what the manufacturer says is a powerful antibacterial effect-kills up to 99.9% of microorganisms, and can remove all bacteria in the room within 6 hours.
In addition, it has a high-efficiency particulate filter system that can filter out all particles in the air entering the room. The entire room is covered with a layer of photocatalytic nano-coating, which can kill viruses when exposed to viruses, including Covid-19.
The modular space area ranges from 1 square meter to 12 square meters, with six compartments and five structural layouts. Vetrospace compartments are designed to create an environment that can greatly increase productivity, vitality, health and well-being, and achieve a very high acoustic level of 0.03 STI standard.
Vetrospace International Sales Manager Jonathan Cole said: “Workplace health and well-being is the most concern of employers and employees.” “Vetrospace provides a peaceful and healthy working environment to maximize productivity and eliminate workplace interference. “
Robin Bayliss, Sales Director of Bisley Group, said: “Vetrospace is an important addition to Bisley’s portfolio.” “After Covid-19, the face of the modern workplace will undoubtedly change, with an independent office or meeting space that can effectively kill bacteria and viruses. It is an important part of our healthy working environment in the future.
“We are pleased to introduce the most technologically soundproof space in the UK and elsewhere, where people can concentrate and work more effectively, and communicate privately.”
Since the outbreak of Covid-19, there has been a surge in interest in ultraviolet light, especially in UV-C which can kill virus including coronavirus.
However, industry bodies including the Illumination Engineering Society and the Global Lighting Association have warned that UV-C is dangerous to humans and needs special care and precautions.
