As lockdown restrictions ease across the UK and Ireland, growing numbers of people are mixing in shared spaces for the first time in over a year. But whilst this return to normality has been welcomed by many, scientists and doctors are still warning people to remain vigilant and continue practising good hygiene to limit the spread of infection. That’s where UV-C light disinfection can help.

UV-C light is a proven method of infection control that’s suited to a huge range of industries and settings. Not only does it give people confidence that they’re in safe hands – it’s completely safe, cost-effective and really simple to install and maintain. UV-C disinfection is the safe choice for your business – here’s why:

1. Scientifically Proven

UV-C light sterilisation has been a trusted method of infection control for decades. It’s proven to destroy the COVID-19 virus in minutes and eliminates harmful bacteria, viruses and microorganisms. It works by targeting the DNA of the microbe; resulting in cellular mutations that stunt the growth and prevent DNA replications. This in turn kills harmful pathogens and prevents the spread of infection. 

2. Versatile Installation

UV-C light technology is suitable for application in a wide range of environments. If you’re treating busy areas that experience a high footfall, upper-air luminaires can be fixed into the wall or ceiling to provide upper air filtration while normal activity resumes beneath. For more ‘high risk areas’ such as washrooms, motion sensored battens like the AIRZING PRO 5040 operate when the area is clear, reducing the risk of contamination and posing no health risks to people accessing the space. 

3. Disruption Free Cleaning 

With this innovative light technology, there’s no need to worry about clearing areas to prepare for a deep clean. Whilst fixed UV-C luminaires are often fitted into walls or ceilings, portable units can be wheeled into areas and switched on overnight or at quiet periods to effectively reduce the risk of bacteria spreading in the space. With minimal maintenance and super simple application, UV-C light technology is the straightforward solution to help build confidence that your premises are safe and protected.

4. No Nasty Chemicals

Traditional chemical disinfectants not only require safe storage and handling, but they pose numerous risks such as respiratory harm and skin damage. UV-C disinfection is a non-toxic alternative to infection control that sterilises air, surfaces and water without leaving any trace of dangerous substances behind. This long-term disinfection solution is much quicker, safer and easier to apply than chemical cleaning methods – give it a try and experience the results for yourself.

5. Environmentally Safe 

UV-C light sterilisation is the way to go for environmentally conscious businesses. It boasts zero ozone emissions during or after use – making it a pollutant free choice that’s proven to destroy harmful bacteria effectively.
