The differences between standard office
partitions and glass partitions may seem clear, but there might be more to it
than you think. A glass partition is not just to allow you to see your
colleagues in the next room and there are greater benefits to standard
partitions than just privacy. This article will take a look at these points and
give you the information you need to decide what type of office partitions to
use where.
Glass Partitions
Firstly we look at the advantages of Glass
Partitions:
Aesthetics - One of the biggest appeals when
it comes to glass partitions is the slick and professional look produced, and
for some this might be the only reason to install them. Others may be looking
to create a good first impression and a positive working environment for
employees.
Diversity - The range of glass partitioning
systems available is massive, and many come in customisable modules meaning you
can cater for any size, shape and style to suit your office space. The best
manufacturers of partitions provide bespoke designs, meaning your needs will be
met perfectly.
Visibility - One of the most cost efficient
and environmentally friendly benefits of glass partitions are that they help to
accentuate the natural light available, which can often be limited. This can
almost always reduce dependency on fluorescent lighting, therefore reducing
costs and increasing 'green' credentials.
Low Cost - Implementing glass partitions is a
much cheaper alternative than buying fully fitted traditional walls, and on top
of this, this type of partition is easily demountable meaning the layout of
your office can more easily be altered as your needs change.
Sound Proof - Another major benefit is the
sound proof nature of modern glass partitions. This can be incredibly important
for some firms in particular, for example where client confidentiality is
essential. Glass partitions can also come with partially or fully frosted glass
which enables for enhanced privacy in meetings.
Motivation - Working in an environment where
you can easily communicate with colleagues and where natural light is
constantly allowed through will almost certainly boost the motivation of your
work force, helping to improve work rate, the standard of work and making the
office a happy and harmonious place to be.
Standard Office Partitions
Personal Space - With traditional closed plan
office layouts, every individual employee will have their own space to work
within along with all the equipment they need to go about their job
effectively. This should mean that they can work in quiet which can be very
beneficial when working to tight deadlines.
Team Work-Many companies will require that
teams work closely together when organising an event, campaign or when trying
to reach a goal. Working in a partitioned office will allow them work closely
and effectively together on the task in hand.
Design - Again, the design and aesthetics of
these partitions can be customised to business requirements and preferences,
and can be customised to fit into any office space no matter how big, small or
awkwardly shaped.
Affordable - These partitions do not carry
all of the longer term financial incentives of glass partitions, however they
are more easily affordable.
