So you're planning a new office fitout and there's
a lot to think about - from picking the right paint colours, carpets and
blinds, to making sure that you choose the most comfortable and appropriate
workstations, your mind is suddenly full of critical decisions. One very
important element of office fitouts that may risk being forgotten in all this
is office partitions. Not only do they contribute to the professional
appearance of your office, but they play an important role in making it a
functional and productive working environment.
Office partitions are an
essential element of office fitouts for various reasons. Most usually they are
placed in between cubicles in an office building to provide privacy and space
sectioning in an open-plan setting. In this way, partitions are an effective
way to provide different workers with their own secluded space. Once the design
of your office is set you will need to begin to consider which selection of
style and finish of office partitions will work best for you and your company
to ensure your finished office fitout is exactly the way you want it.
There is a huge range of
partition options for office fitouts, including plasterboard and glass
partitions, full or half height partitions and unique one-off designs that can
be created according to your individual requirements. In fact, the selection of
office partitions to choose from is so huge that it's a good idea to narrow
down your scope of selection by first noting down what colours, materials,
styles, widths and heights will be most suitable for your particular needs.
Height is one of the
most crucial considerations. Although colour is highly customisable, there are
just three main heights available in partitions for office fitouts and not
every choice in height is going to be suitable for you. One of the most popular
styles of office partitions are half height, often used to construct cubicles
in open plan offices. If the demands of your office necessitate a quiet
environment, you may wish to consider a full height partition, which reaches
from floor to ceiling, and is more like a temporary wall than a screen.
The third type of
partition commonly used in office fitouts is the 'accordion' style, which have
the appearance of full height partitions, except they concertina open, allowing
stylish and easy access between separated spaces.
The materials used to
construct office partitions ranges from glass to plasterboard, light wood and
cloth covered foam. Again, your choice of material is likely to be a very
individual decision based on the lay-out of your office, your style of décor
and the available space. For example, if you wish to optimise the transmission
of natural light, glass partitions will be a great choice, but, if you plan to
regularly rearrange your office furniture, a more durable and hardwearing
material will be a better option.
Apart from height and
material, you should also consider the possibility of future expansions when
choosing office partitions. If your company is likely to expand, mobile
partitions or wheeled partitions that are light, easier to move and re-position
when the need arises, may be your best choice.
Finally, when it comes
to deciding what is most practical and suitable in office partitions for your
office fitouts, it may be worth consulting an expert office designer who will
consult with you at every step of the way to designing your office fitouts and
partitions according to your needs and budget.
