Is your office space working for you, your employees, and your business?
Open plan offices are synonymous with inner-city prosperity and innovation, but their layouts can quickly make it difficult for employees to focus. By this logic, office cubicles must be the better choice, but these cramped spaces make it harder than ever to hold meetings or encourage collaborative working.
So, what if the best and most productive layout was a halfway point between the two? Our office partition walls could be exactly what you need to give your offices an overdue upgrade, so let’s take a look at what our office partitions offer you.
Utilise the Entire Space
Whether you currently have an open-plan office or a separate workstation for every employee, our office partitions will make sure that every square foot of the office is utilised with purpose. Instead of cramped workstations or large areas of unused space, our partition walls will divide the office into designated areas for particular activities with a new layout that maximises space.
By dividing the office strategically in this way, we will unlock new areas for collaborative open spaces, private offices, and meeting rooms that all fit around each other and create a productive flow through the space. This focus on making full use of the space can then be carried forward into daily operations by encouraging employees to work in the areas that most suit their preferences and allow them to be as productive as possible.
Balance of Collaboration and Privacy
With the rise of remote and hybrid working, more and more businesses have opted for open plan layouts that encourage employees to interact with each other during the limited times that they are in the office. However, whilst this works well for collaborative projects, it can make it hard for employees to concentrate on individual tasks, particularly if they have become used to the peace and quiet of working from home.
So, make sure the available space is used efficiently by balancing co-working spaces with quiet offices and cubicles, as well as private meeting rooms that can host confidential discussions without disturbing the surrounding offices. Office partition walls, particularly or half-height partitions, are a much better option for this than fixed walls, as they separate large, open spaces into smaller areas without causing the feelings of isolation that can often come with a divided workplace. Even if you don’t opt for partition walls, a half-height partition is a simple yet great way to divide a room, particularly when paired with screen desktop dividers to offer more privacy and help employees to focus.
Easy to Adapt and Reconfigure
Unlike brick walls, office partition wall systems are not permanent fixtures. As non-loadbearing dividers, they are much easier, quicker, and cheaper to install than other walls, and they can be reconfigured as needed to accommodate your changing business needs.
This flexibility allows you to rearrange your layout as needed, so you can choose an open plan that works well for your entire team and then create private modular spaces as needed. Or you can start each day with a team all-hands in a large conference room, which is then divided into smaller rooms for client meetings and Zoom calls throughout the day. This guarantees that your workspace always supports your operations and allows you to try out new layouts without committing to a fixed one, and also provides space for confidential meetings and intensive working without closing areas off from the rest of the team.
Choosing the Right Materials
For most business premises, choosing the materials for internal walls means making the choice between solid bricks or flimsy plasterboard. Neither of these materials will give your office the insulation, privacy, and professional finish that it needs, but our office partition walls will!
We supply and install a wide variety of partitions, including stud walls, glazing walls, glass partitions, and a range of other bespoke solutions, and the right choice for your premises won’t just depend upon the appearance of the materials, but also upon the designated function of each partitioned space.
For example, glass partitions offer an open, collaborative feel with plenty of natural light, whilst solid stud walls provide unrivalled sound insulation and visual privacy for private offices and confidential meeting rooms. Your budget will also factor into all of your design choices, and our options range from cost-effective to premium materials to suit all budgets and minimise refurbishment costs.
