About precautions when installing vinyl sheets
Last Updated February 9, 2024
When installing vinyl sheets such as vinyl chloride materials at counters to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and influenza droplet infection, try to use non-flammable materials. Also, check the following three points and install them.
Point 1 Isn't it installed near fire?
Since the vinyl sheet is a flammable material, install it at a distance or interval from fire such as a stove or lighting equipment that generates heat.
Point 2 Are there any obstacles to fire-fighting equipment?
If installed near the detector or sprinkler head of the automatic fire alarm equipment, when a fire occurs, the fire may not be detected or may cause watering failure. Make sure to keep distances and distances from the equipment if necessary.
Point 3 Isn't it an obstacle to evacuation?
Avoid evacuation exits and places where the guide lights are difficult to see.
