With the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, we have undoubtedly all become more aware of the air we’re breathing. In the past, the focus for schools was on surrounding air pollution and the effects on children outside in the playground. However, this has now shifted to the air inside the school building.
In this article, we take a look at air purifiers and the essential role they can play in keeping the school environment hygienic.
How do air purifiers work?
Air purifiers are discreet pieces of equipment that you locate in an enclosed space to kill airborne and surface bacteria and viruses. They can be wall or ceiling-mounted and are suitable for a variety of room sizes, from 10 to 80 square metres. They are ideal for school washrooms, classrooms or reception areas, for example, that experience high traffic and odours.
What are the benefits of air purifiers?
When schools return in September, hygiene will be a top priority. Even if you’ve stepped up your school cleaning regime and introduced a rota, you’re unlikely to be able to continuously monitor cleanliness throughout your school building.
Air purifiers can do some of the hard work for you by working 24/7 to kill up to 98.11% of airborne and surface bacteria and viruses in your school! The combined technologies of specialist UV and Photocatalytic Disinfection (PCD) have been proven to kill the Coronavirus family, continually circulating clean, purified air 24 hours a day.
Air purifiers also eliminate triggers for asthma and allergens such as dust and pollen from the atmosphere. Not to mention their ability to get rid of unwelcome odours!
What should I consider when choosing an air purifier?
- Room size: One of the key considerations when choosing an air purifier is room size. Make sure you check your room dimensions before making any decisions.
- Location: Consider whether you want the unit to sit on the wall or the ceiling.
- Energy efficiency: School running costs tend to be high, and energy-efficient appliances are always a wise choice. Our air purifiers run on just 10w of power, making them incredibly energy efficient!
- Cost: For schools looking to maximise their budget, affordable equipment is key. With our flexible rental agreements, you can equip your school with air purifiers straight away, with no upfront cost.
- Set-up/maintenance: When you chose to rent one of our air purifiers, you’ll benefit from our professional installation service. What’s not to like?
Installing an air purifier in a crowded classroom can help your school reduce the spread of colds and viruses in the upcoming autumn/winter terms. The presence of air purifiers will also reassure teachers that they’re working in a safer environment. So, why not add air purifiers to your school’s hygiene defences this September?
