In recent years, glass partitions in offices have become a popular trend. Many businesses and organisations are opting to install them thanks to their sleek look and versatility. Glass partitions can be used to create meeting rooms, break rooms and private offices. This blog explores some of the main benefits.
- Maximise natural light
A key benefit of having office glass partitions is their ability to maximise natural light. Solid walls and partitions darken office space and result in needing to install artificial lighting, which can be costly and is also not conducive to a healthy working environment.
According to a recent survey by the Department of Design and Environmental Analysis, 87% reported a decrease in eyestrain, headaches and blurred vision when sitting within 10 feet of a window. The office environment can dramatically impact the way our team works and even your ability to appeal to candidates when hiring, as nobody wants to work in dull, dark environments.
- Stylish and smart
Glass partitions give a high-quality appearance and create light, open workspaces. More and more offices and corporate buildings are opting to incorporate more glass features into their workspaces to create sleek, spacious environments. There is no doubt that glass partitions look the part. Having a smart, modern office helps to reinforce the impression of a well-established company to customers and prospects that are visiting.
- Versatile
You can achieve different looks with glass partitions. You can opt for frosted glass to enhance privacy or you might choose to have a printed design. Many companies chose to have their branding and logos incorporated into the design.
- They are economical
Glass partitions can help keep your energy bills down, thanks to their ability to let in natural light. They can also be taken down and re-arranged easily meaning there is no need for expensive structural work if you want to change the office layout.
- They offer privacy
Acoustic glass can be used to help minimise office noise. This is ideal for staff needing to have confidential conversations and meetings, while not making others feel cut off and excluded. They can help to reinforce a friendly, transparent work environment.
Sound reduction can also increase the productivity of employees, as the hustle and bustle of a busy, open-plan office can be distracting. Employees who prefer to work in quiet environments can really benefit.
