Everyone needs to be doing their bit to support the fight against the Covid 19 pandemic, this goes without saying and Charles Days is doing everything it can to protect its employees, suppliers and customers alike, even supporting them in their own efforts through the Antimicrobial properties of Copper.

Copper is a natural antimicrobial material that has been taken advantage of for centuries by different civilisations. Whilst extensive studies are and have always been ongoing, Scientists are able to demonstrate the intrinsic efficacy of copper alloy “touch surfaces” to destroy a wide range of microorganisms that threaten public health.

With the focus on stopping the spread of the virus Charles Days is producing copper door pads and handles to limit the surface transfer risk to employees within a company environment.

In a recent article on the BBC (https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200317-covid-19-how-long-does-the-coronavirus-last-on-surfaces ), they explained

“…the NIH (US National Institute for Health) study found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus survives for longer on cardboard – up to 24 hours – and up to 2-3 days on plastic and stainless-steel surfaces.

The findings suggest the virus might last this long on door handles, plastic-coated or laminated worktops and other hard surfaces. The researchers did find, however, that copper surfaces tended to kill the virus in about four hours.”

It has always been Charles Days’ policy to source material at the best prices and to keep sizable stocks, putting us in a strong position to support customers both with their day to day business and the fight against the virus.

Paulin Watches were launching a new wall clock product range and needed a reliable and accurate laser cutting service, also capable of providing fine and accurate etching of an intricate deign, to ensure a successful product launch on a tight schedule.

Charles Day’s Sales and Technical Drawing teams were able to help from the early design stages through to delivery, on time and to the customer’s bespoke design specifications and hand drawn logo.

“We’ve been using laser cutters for various projects over the last few years. Turn around times and part accuracy has always been a little unpredictable.

Over the duration of our most recent project Charles Day have exceeded our expectations in both areas and as a result have earned their place as our go-to metal laser cutter.” – Euan Macer Law, Product Design Engineer

The aluminium back plate was both laser cut and white etched here in Sheffield onsite before being shipped to the customer for assembly in Glasgow ready for the product launch.

Charles Day’s are able to etch any design onto almost any material from acrylic, right through to copper, steel and even titanium. With an in house Design and Drawing team we work closely with customer to achieve the perfect design, whilst managing the entire process from raw material through to delivery of completed part.

Special thanks to Paulin Watches for asking us to be a part of this new venture (all products available on https://www.paulinwatches.com/ ) and we look forward to the next one!
