Founded in 1935, Henry & Gerety carries a proud reputation of successfully serving Southern Connecticut.
Initially, a residential contractor, the company focused on delivering quality home construction. Company founders, Ed Henry and Ed Gerety, firmly believed that sound construction, accurate estimating and fair pricing were the hallmarks of a quality contractor. The business has never lost sight of these principles.
In 1945, Henry & Gerety expanded, in order to meet the needs of the every changing and fast growing commercial and industrial new and renovation construction. To this day, various Henry & Gerety projects, from that era, continue to define commercial and industrial landscape of the Southern Connecticut region.
Henry & Gerety is doing installation of Plexiglas
What is Plexiglas?
Plexiglas — also called acrylic — is a petroleum-based thermoplastic made from poly(methyl methacrylate), Plexiglas is known “in the industry” as PMMA. The material is said to be shatter-resistant, lightweight and cheaper than glass.
What is Plexiglas used for?
Registered under the trade name Perspex, is favored in medical settings because it has a high resistance to weathering and is not damaged by chemical cleaners. Now that companies are trying to reopen safely, Plexiglas could be used as partitions between desks in offices, between sinks in bathrooms and between restaurant booths. They are also in nail salons, separating employees from customers, in senior living homes and in movie theaters. The transparent barriers will even be in casinos.
To help meet demand, due to Covid-19, some are turning to similar products made with polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate-glycol (PET-G), which can also work as protective shields
“Plexiglas is made via polymerization — the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) reacts with a catalyst and is then molded into sheets,” It was developed by different scientists in laboratories around the world in the late 1920s and early 1930s. One of the most well-known versions was created by German chemists in 1933 and hit markets three years later, according to the manufacturer’s website.
