Custom Glass Sneeze Guards for Restaurants

Florida's food rules for restaurants are based on the FDA Food Code, which says food on display has to be protected from contamination. Packaging, display cases and "food guards" on counters, service lines and salad bars are the accepted ways to do it (section 3-306.11). Inspectors check for it, and open food without one gets written up.

There's no single magic height. What matters is that the glass sits between customers and the food on every side they can reach. We build to the line your plans and your inspector call for, and we'll talk it through with your GC before we cut.

Acrylic and plastic domes cost less up front, but they scratch with every wipe, haze over and start to yellow. Stock framed units are sturdy, but they come in set lengths with metal posts that crowd a designed counter.

Tempered glass stays clear for years, takes commercial cleaners without clouding, and reads as part of the build. Custom-cut and frameless, it fits your exact counter instead of the closest catalog size.

Bring us in once the counter layout is final. Plans or shop drawings let us quote early, and we measure on site once the countertop is installed, since glass has to fit the real stone, not the drawing.

Tell us your inspection and opening dates up front. We schedule fabrication and install around them, so the guard is in and cleaned before the inspector walks the line.
