Building Flexibility Into Office Life With Partitions

In a country that relies heavily on the service industry, the office environment is where most people spend their time in the UK. While budgets are a major factor in the decision of where, when and how many offices to be built, there are other factors that affect the physical environment and the experiences of employees.

Within the Solid Structures

The physical background is determined by the nature of the work, e.g. the backdrop for the human elements and actual business/work. If there is too much noise and talking, but people need to hear each other and talk, partitions or barriers can be used to provide sound insulation.Double Glazed Acoustic Glass Partitions Manchester

A lot of office buildings combine larger areas with smaller offices outside. These "solid" offices are useful for specific functions and can be used to indicate the hierarchy of the office. An office can be associated with a high-ranking position and could be considered a status symbol.

The Symbolic Office

One could argue that the company is displaying a more open, transparent and visually pleasing office space as a symbol of its attitudes to staff and values, and how it views communication within and outside the company.

The Flexible Office

Glass office partitions, especially glass, offer a lot of flexibility for businesses. They can make a company feel more open and friendly, which can lead to better communication and collaboration within the company. High quality glass partitions, for example, can:

Allow for more light to spread around the office, despite certain areas being physically separated.

Facilitate visual communication which can be of benefit to the business.

A pleasant, modern appearance will help to strengthen the company's image and reputation and increase morale.

You can make a single space open-plan or private, depending on your needs. Use blinds in conjunction with the glass.

Other Flexible Options

Modern materials and finishes allow for many options when it comes to office partitions. You can use both sliding and folding structures. You can also make solid partitions in a range of heights and with different glazing options. You can colour or coat the panels and support frames of partitions to meet your company's needs. Film can be used to add images, logos, and words to glass partitions.
