How To Create More Privacy When You Have An Open Plan Office
Glass partitions started becoming popular in offices towards the end of the 20th century.
They have become more prevalent as businesses have sought to create more open, collaborative work spaces whilst maintaining some privacy and separation between different areas.
Their popularity is also heavily influenced by modern design principles which favour natural light and more flexibility in our office layouts. While exact dates can vary, the widespread adoption of glass partitions can be marked from the 1990s onwards, with their popularity continuing to grow into the present day.
There are so many benefits to introducing glass partitioning to your office.
A gloomy workspace isn’t good for employee morale or productivity. Not only does it create an unpleasant atmosphere, it often makes people feel sleepy and lethargic. You want your staff to feel alert, motivated and ready for anything!
Glass partitions allow natural light to flow freely throughout your office space, reducing the need for artificial lighting. This not only creates a brighter and more pleasant environment but it can even help to reduce your energy bills.
The cost of running a business is higher than ever, and smaller companies in particular want to do everything to maximise their budget.
Create a sleek and seamless look in your office.
Glass partitions can give an office a contemporary and sleek appearance. They can make your office feel more open and airy compared to traditional solid walls, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the office. However, if you do need plaster partitions, this is something we can also provide at In Out Solutions.
Our aluminium framed partitions can be single or double glazed. Designed and developed to enhance the workability of an organisation, the glass used is toughened or acoustic laminated and has a beautiful finish. It also offers an exceptional acoustic performance.
Easily improve levels of privacy in your office.
While glass partitions provide transparency, In Out Solutions can design them so there’s varying levels of privacy through different types of glass (e.g., frosted or tinted glass) or by using blinds or curtains. This allows for both open collaboration and private work areas as needed.
Whatever the needs of your office, our team can customise our partitions to suit your needs. We work with companies throughout Leeds and the surrounding locations.
Improve levels of sound insulation in your office.
Unwanted noise is a massive problem for many employees. If your admin team is distributed by your sales team, and vice versa, this can negatively affect your business in so many different ways. It ruins people’s concentration, leads to stress and frustration, and can ultimately affect your company’s productivity.
Our solutions include sound insulation to reduce noise levels.
Our acoustic panels are great for reducing noise levels between different areas of the office. This helps to create a quieter and more productive work environment by minimising distractions.
These acoustic glass panels offer a number of different advantages, including the fact they’re stylish and attractive. Offering an acoustic performance up to 50db, they can also create the illusion of space and light.
We offer single and double glazed versions available. You will also have the option of industrial or black framed glass walls. In Out Solutions has a wide range of profile colours and logos which can be applied, so they can be personalised for your business.
They accept glass from 6mm to 16mm thick and are easy to dismantle and relocate. That makes it easy to reconfigure the layout of your office if needed.
One of the biggest advantages of glass panels is they can be adjusted to reflect your changing needs. This flexibility allows for quick adjustments to accommodate growth, reorganisation, or new work arrangements.
Another benefit of glass partitions is they can improve collaboration.
Do you find that communication between certain parts of your team is often difficult? This issue can often end up affecting customers or clients, with poor communication leading to all kinds of misunderstandings.
The transparency of glass partitions promotes visibility and encourages collaboration among team members. Employees can see and communicate with each other more easily, fostering teamwork and idea sharing.
In some cases it can contribute towards a safer work environment.
This is because glass panels allow for better air circulation and ventilation compared to enclosed spaces. Additionally, they can be easier to clean and maintain, promoting hygiene and reducing the risk of spreading germs.
To sum up, glass partitioning can improve your productivity and make your workplace a more enjoyable place to work. If you want more details on how we can enhance your office, our experts are always happy to answer your questions. We carry out free site surveys before any work goes ahead.
