Effectiveness of Glass Partitions

Glass partitions are used to break up the space in the work place to make small but spacious rooms. A large room can easily be divided up to make small areas which can be used as individual offices or private areas. There are many reasons why glass partitions are a very good option for partitioning .
Glass partitions are fitted by mounting small brackets onto a supportive wall and simply putting the partition in place. This means you have almost total freedom when deciding which areas you want to fit your partitions. Also because of this easy method of installing the partitions, you can divide up your work space in a very short space of time. If you were to build brick and plaster walls, this would involve taking up flooring, bringing in cement, plaster and paint, and would generally cause a lot of mess and disruption. It would also put the room out of use for a couple of weeks. These partitions are also movable, so you can change the layout of your office anytime you wish. Fireproof glass is used to make these partitions, making them safe for use in most buildings.
Glass partitions help create spacious and bright areas, as they are no more than a few centimetres thick, and being glass, they allow a large amount of natural light into the workplace. Trying to work in a cramped and dingy room can be very unpleasant, but bright and airy surrounding promote a better overall performance.
It is advisable to have your glass partitions fitted by a professional company. This will ensure that health and safety standards are met, and that your partitions are properly installed. A professional company will be able to advise you on where to place your partitions, and on which partitions to choose to fit in with your office surroundings.

Office Partitions

When working in an office, noise can sometimes be a considerable distraction to a worker, ultimately resulting in the overall productive output of a workforce being lower than its potential. The installation of Office Partitioning can be a cost effective and efficient means of eliminating distractions which may affect a worker’s productivity and because such partitions are available in a wide range of styles from glass partitioning to frameless glazing as well as demountable partitioning, they can be easily incorporated into any office location without ruining the overall aesthetic.

 Glass partitions are extremely versatile and can almost be individually tailored to any requirements. For example, they are available in both single- and double glazed glass, with the option of having aluminium frames (which can be painted or anodised in any RAL/BS colour) or being frameless. Such partitions also have the option of incorporating framed glass or solid doors and can also use either toughened or laminated glass, both of which give the single and double glazed framed partitions a fire integrity rating of 30 minutes. Framed partitions made from single or double glazed glass are also fully demountable and can be easily relocated to correspond with any changes made in the workplace.

 Solid partitions are also cost effective ways of dividing any office space and come in a wide range of styles such as full height, low height and curved so as to meet any requirement and, just like the glass ones, these solid partitions have a 30 minute fire integrity rating. These dividers are factory finished, thereby allowing quick and easy installation as well as making it easy to dismount and relocate them elsewhere in the office if required. However, it is also possible to install permanent drywall partitions if a long-term partition is needed.

Glass Partitions Are An Attractive Room Divider

Glass partitions are steadily becoming a highly popular option when it comes to dividing up office space. They are stylish, clean and light and fit in with both traditional and modern office environments. The other obvious alternative to glass partitions is hard wall partitions. For as number of reasons these hard wall partitions have declined in popularity.
Hard wall partitions are obviously not see through, and a space with little natural light can very soon feel cramped, claustrophobic and dingy. Glass partitions let the maximum amount of natural light circulate in the office area, making the fresh bright atmosphere which is essential for good work performance.
Glass partitions look clean and modern, and generally create a fashionable modern atmosphere in any office building. The partitions can be designed to fit in with the decor and colour scheme of your office. The partitions are popular with a great many designers, and the partitions themselves are advertised in London showrooms.
Hard wall partitions are thicker and more solid than glass partitions, a fact that you might initially think is an advantage. On the contrary a thicker wall means that more space is used up resulting in smaller and more cramped areas. Glass partitions are no more than a couple of centimetres wide, so more spacious areas are a viable option.
Erecting hard walls involves pulling up flooring, installing bricks and cement and plaster and a generally a lot of disruption whereas installing a glass partition takes very little time and creates no mess. Brackets are fixed onto the supporting walls and the partition is put in place. Your whole office can be neatly and stylishly divided in a few hours.
Overall, glass partitions are the ideal option for anyone wishing to create a stylish ambience in their office with the minimum of hassle and fuss.
