There is a mistaken idea that glass makes for boring
office partitions. The fact is that glass has a versatility that other
materials cannot match. Whilst the solid partition is extremely effective in
creating new spaces in an office, segregating one area from another, glass
panels are by no means ineffective in accomplishing this too, plus more.
There are many
practical advantages of using demountable room partitions instead of simply
building a new permanent wall. Not only does it allow the layout of an office
floor to change numerous times, it also means that rooms halved for practical
reasons can eventually be restored to their full size.
There are also
marketing advantages to these walls, which can benefit a company in terms of
both sales and branding. In fact, by using a glass dividing wall, the impact
can be far greater if a little bit of invention and creativity is applied.
The scope of
possibility is wide and varied, but we have put together a list of three ways
in which the use of glass can help to promote a company and its services or
products.
Branding
Opportunities
Glass is no
longer just an option when an office does not want to hinder the distribution
of natural light. It is certainly one advantage, but when it comes to promoting
the company name, panels made of glass are highly effective.
This is due to
the availability of glass film, which can be stuck to the surfaces of the
glass. These are available in a range of preset designs, such as grids,
circles, and series of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines, usually on a
frosted background.
But they can
also be especially designed to match the logo of the company and the company
title. And, of course, more expensive panels are available on the market, with
etched glass providing a rugged yet decorative effect on the glass in whatever
design that is desired.
Reflects
Company Attitude
The style of
the glass film can be all important to the image of the company, but it can
also be used effectively to promote a sense of what the company is about. So,
rather than using the company logo there can be images that provide hints of
the company attitude and values. The best example is perhaps fast food
restaurants, where images of happy families enjoying meals together are
strongly visible throughout the restaurant.
So, a company
that sells toys may have silhouettes of easily recognisable toys, like spinning
tops or building blocks. A kindergarten might have the alphabet and numbers.
And a recording studio might have musical notes and scales decorating the
panels. And, because the film is also available coloured, it means that
extremely detailed scenes can be depicted.
This can
promote the company and its services or products in an indirect way. It is a
little like being surrounded by a catalogue without pushing sales, and tells a
visitor something about the company and what it does in a quietly confident way.
Escape
the Office Environment
Of course,
these walls are also highly effective in simply creating a space in which
occupants can escape the environments they are used to.
For example, in
order to combat a possible sense of claustrophobia, some offices might decorate
the glass panels in a meeting room with a depiction of bamboo woods
or mountain scenes.
Such a backdrop
can have a very positive impact on visiting clients, who might be attending a
meeting in the room. It can also serve to lighten the atmosphere in a meeting,
allowing those involved to feel more at ease.
However, the
most important effect of the partition wall is what these clients are left with
and the feelings they then associate with the company. Even if new business is
not being negotiated, the new and refreshing surrounds can enhance the positive
image of a company that clients might already perceive.
In this
respect, the use of glass room partitions, and the array of decorative
possibilities, can help to sell the company, services and products that it
provides.
