What does air purification bring to hotels?
Enhanced comfort
On average, 16% of hotel guests complain of unpleasant odours* in those establishments. Some hotel rooms have windows that do not open, causing olfactory (smell) comfort to suffer. Since guests often leave behind strong body odours (perspiration, perfume, etc.) that may be disagreeable to the next guests, purifying the air can dramatically improve the customer experience. Offering this kind of healthy environment in your common areas as well as your guest rooms is a way to stand out from the competition and give foreign guests an enhanced sense of welcome (as international visitors tend to be more attuned to air purification than Europeans).
* Data from qualitative and quantitative surveys and studies conducted by Coach Omnium
• Treatment of occasional odours: Testing conducted in real-world conditions, in a 40 m² room, simulating an extremely strong spike in odours and VOCs. The test results recorded a 90% decrease in odours in under 30 minutes, using both the Shield® device’s Boost mode and Continuous mode.
• Reduced viral load over short periods of time (under 20 minutes): Testing conducted by an independent lab, using the procedures defined by the standard NF B44-200 to examine the performance of Shield® in response to continuously generated contaminants. The results have shown microorganism destruction rates ranging from 94% to 97% after a single pass (whether measuring microorganisms on their own or in combinations that are representative of real atmospheres).
• Created by a master: Ramy Fischler, founder of the RF Studio agency, was named Designer of the Year in 2018 and was awarded the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication in 2016.
• Discreet, quiet presence.
• Ease of upkeep and user safety.
• Lasting performance and harmlessness.
• Eco-friendly: Protection for not only human health but also the environment, thanks to a design which prioritises easily recyclable materials like steel, a technology that uses no consumables and requires no filter replacements, the elimination of plastic from all packaging, and a guarantee that the device will be serviceable for at least 10 years.
Key areas and times at hotels
The key areas and times at hotels can all be effectively controlled by Shield Compact or Shield professional-grade air purifiers equipped with their accessories. Here is a list of the most important ones:
Housekeeping: Shield on a cart or Shield Compact depending on the size of the room, to purify the air during housekeeping activities.
Testimonial from a hotel owner and manager who uses Shield Compact air purifiers
"Our hotel is non-smoking, but we still have smokers who stay with us. While they follow the rules and don’t smoke in their rooms, they still come down to smoke outside, on the pavement in front of the hotel. If they smoke a cigarette or two and then go straight back to their rooms, they still exhale an odour of tobacco that spreads through their rooms. We noticed lingering traces of tobacco smells after these guests stayed with us for even a night or two, so we started looking for a solution. At first, we tried fragrances, but that wasn’t great, since it only added to the problem rather than eliminating it. Then, we found this product and are very happy with its effectiveness. It quickly eliminates any residual odours caused by smokers’ exhalations, allowing us to quickly turn over our rooms for the next guests. And when we do renovations or retouch the paint in our rooms, when the work was done in the morning before a guest checking in that evening, we realised that there were sometimes lingering odours of adhesive or paint, and this product also helps a lot in eliminating all those minor residual odours."
