Buildings that serve the public are particularly prone to bacteria buildup. Switches and wallplates are two of the most frequently touched surfaces daily and maintaining cleanliness on their surfaces can be a challenge. With the introduction of Antimicrobial Treated Devices, Leviton has developed a solution that works together with regular cleaning procedures to help keep switches and wallplates cleaner. Made with antimicrobial additives embedded into their material, these devices help protect against the growth of harmful bacteria. Antimicrobial treated devices from Leviton are ideal for use in public buildings to protect frequently touched switches and wallplates from the growth of bacteria. The devices are completely protected with antimicrobial material and their standard design allows for seamless integration into many areas to minimize intrusiveness in public applications. Suitable applications for antimicrobial treated devices include healthcare facilities, from hospitals to waiting rooms to pediatrician offices; schools, hotels, commercial kitchens and restaurants, as well as daycare centers and public restrooms.
