Custom solutions for following CDC guidelines

CDC Guidelines: Physical Barriers Physical barriers don’t have to be social barriers, and custom designs go a long way toward letting partitions enhance the usefulness of a space rather than distract from it—like these partitions we recently installed for customers in Upstate South Carolina. The CDC recommends installing physical barriers to enhance social distancing and provide further protection against the spread of COVID-19. “Physical barrier” can sound constricting. But

What will the post-COVID office look like?

We’ve looked before at design principles to keep in mind when adapting spaces to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Since one of those principles is that “temporary shelters are never temporary,” it’s worth considering whether the current COVID response will bring permanent changes to office setups and what those changes might be. Closing In on the Open Office According to architecture and design magazine Dezeen, Paul Ferro of Form4 Architecture predicts a new look at cubicles i

What’s it all about?: Classrooms, company values, and the New Normal

Classroom Safety One of the joys of engineering, manufacturing, and design is seeing your products in the real world. During that process, we’ve been thrilled seeing partitions from KTM Solutions in actual classrooms. Recently we partnered with one of our plastics suppliers to manufacture partitions for local schools, helping them meet CDC guidelines. The first set of elementary partitions was installed this week.

When will schools reopen?: Preparing classrooms during COVID-19

Reopening more safely Reopening schools remains a topic of heated debate and frequent Google searches. But one thing is certain: safety should always come first. Whenever schools do reopen, one safety measure recommended by the CDC is the use of physical barriers, such as plexiglass partitions. Here’s a look at how schools in Charleston County, SC, are preparing for in-person teaching this fall. (Families can also choose online instruction.) This news coverage by WCSC in Char

Back to school: Prevention strategies for the post-COVID classroom

How can schools reopen safely? With the 2020-2021 school year just around the corner, school districts and families need to consider when schools can reopen and what we can all do to make schools safe for students, staff, and their families. Some groups are even offering funding to schools for the supplies and personal protective equipment they’ll need in order to reopen safely in the fall, such as masks, gloves, and cleaning supplies. In addition to extra stocks of those ite

What's in a design? How to choose COVID PPE and implement prevention strategies

As we all fight this pandemic together, we at KTM Solutions have added safety partitions to our offerings to do what we can to help business, schools, and worship venues prepare to reopen safely.

How do businesses reopen in the coronavirus era?

What happens when the economy reopens? Many of us are asking the same questions right now: When will businesses reopen after COVID-19? How can we reopen safely? What should employees know about personal protective equipment? We’ve been asking these questions for a while. Last month, KTM president Paul Kumler published an article in South Carolina Manufacturing addressing these and other concerns, which are just as relevant today.

Rethinking the “new normal”: COVID-19 prevention strategies

One of the central concerns as establishments reopen is the health of employees and visitors, accomplished primarily through social distancing, rigorous hygiene, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). As of this week, all 50 states are reopening to some degree, and venues are looking for custom office partitions and room dividers.
