Located in the Philadelphia, PA area, Tavern 52 is a popular restaurant that improved its Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) by installing the Armstrong VIDASHIELD UV24 Air Purification System.
The challenge
Family-friendly, casual dining restaurant, Tavern 52, was determined to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) for its customers and employees. Many restaurants are standing out by finding ways to make sure their guests feel safe and comfortable indoors, and that includes a focus on IAQ.
The popular restaurant looked for ceiling technologies to help prevent the spread of airborne pathogens and found the Armstrong VIDASHIELD UV24 Air Purification System.
The solution
Tavern 52 installed two of Armstrong’s 2’ x 4’ VIDASHIELD UV24 Air Purification Systems. The systems were installed in the ceilings of the main dining room with an additional unit installed in a smaller dining room.
The in-ceiling system improved IAQ by using proven ultraviolet light (UV-C) air cleaning technology to continuously clean and reduce the level of viruses, bacteria, and fungi in the room’s air. The system operates by drawing air into a patented self-contained chamber hidden in the ceiling where the air is treated safely with ultraviolet light air-cleaning technology. The cleaner air is continuously circulated back into the room.
