If you work in a large, open plan
office, there are times where it can be difficult for your employees to get the
privacy they need to work effectively. However, this issue can be solved by
creating a glass partition - a small wall or barrier which helps to give your
employees the privacy that they need, while also allowing them to contact
nearby colleagues.
It's very possible to make your own glass partitions at home with a bit
of do-it-yourself handiwork, as long as you're a relatively competent
carpenter. This guide will help you understand many of the considerations to
take into account if you decide to build your own glass partitions at home and
will run you through each stage of glass partition construction step-by-step.
The first stage to think about is how much office space you actually
have. You may even be able to avoid building a partition at all if you're
creative with the space you have. Instead of building a partition you might
consider using a bookcase, or another type of shelf. A large pcture frame
screen can also function as a partition and you can have the benefit of
attaching a range of photos, notes or maybe even the odd inspiring motivational
quote to keep yourself focused on the work you need to do.
If you decide on a full blown glass partition, you have to firstly ask
yourself whether you need half or full partitions. If you are intent on
separating your working space from your living space in the home you'll need to
consider how large you want the partition to be and whether it will either be a
permanent fixture or removable.
Once everything's been decided, the next step is to create a frame for
your partition. To create a basic frame all you will need is about five pieces
of wood. Now securely attach four of the pieces of wood together to create a
square shape and then place your fifth piece of wood horizontally in the
square. This will create a sturdy frame which you can attach glass frame to on
both sides.
From there you should affix the glass and then secure the partition to
either the floor or wall. You can do this by drilling the screws diagonally
through the wood frame into either a wall or floor. Make sure the partition is
secured, otherwise it could collapse if bumped into.
Congratulations, you've managed to make your
own partition!
