UV-C light helps protect against Covid 19 Pandemic.

Safe Storage Facilities

We are taking extra steps to keep our storage spaces safe during the Covid 19 Pandemic.

We have introduced a new UV-C light system into  our storage unit which together with chemical deep-cleaning procedures and social distancing methods gives as much protection as possible.

UV- C Light is effective at maintaining a level of disinfection that regular chemical cleaning cannot achieve alone.

Typically, fifteen minutes of exposure is all it takes in a small to medium space to work. UV-C radiation is invisible to the human eye in the wavelength between 200 – 280 nano-meters (nm), with a wavelength of 270nm found to be particularly effective against virus’s and bacteria, as it breaks down the DNA of micro-organisms and makes them harmless.

However, the light at this wavelength and resultant ozone is also harmful to people and pets and should not operate when storage spaces are in use (blue UV light is added to the spectrum of light so you know when it is on).

We operate our UV-C cleansing during the night on a timed circuit, so the system is completely safe and offers our visitors and clients a safe and clean environment the next day.

We will clearly show when the system is operating – at which times you should NOT enter the storage units. But the system is only on for a short time so it should cause very little inconvenience.

Call 01562 731443 if you have any concerns.

Keep alert and Stay safe with Belbroughton Storage.
