A tea room with a new view

The Brief 

The Tea Room needed a transparent barrier installed at the service counter to protect staff, customers, and food items—without compromising the open, friendly ambiance of the venue.

What we did to help 

To kick things off, we conducted a site visit to understand the client’s vision and objectives. During this visit, we offered tailored advice on suitable products, took reference photos, and measured the area for precision.

We recommended a framed acrylic screen that could be fixed directly to the countertop. This option not only met the hygiene requirements but also complemented the clean, welcoming design of the Tea Room. It was essential that the new addition felt like a natural part of the environment, not an intrusive element.

To support the decision-making process, we created a series of 3D drawings, which we superimposed onto the site photos. This visual approach gave the client a realistic preview of the final installation and made the approval process much smoother.

The custom screen measured approximately 5 metres in length and 80cm in height, and we manufactured it entirely in-house. Thanks to our extensive stock and streamlined production process, we were able to turn this around quickly—meeting a tight deadline without compromising on quality.

The result was a sleek, hygienic barrier that blended seamlessly into the Tea Room’s aesthetic, offering safety and peace of mind to staff and guests alike. We’re proud to have helped Hartwell Nurseries continue serving their community—safely and stylishly.
