There can be many reasons for designing a new floorplan of an office; you might be changing the way you work or need to accommodate more staff as your company expands. You may be changing premises and moving to a brand-new space; this can benefit from a blank canvas on which your ideas can create a perfect workspace for both you and your staff.
A Superb Option Available
One popular medium employers use when creating unique workspaces in both new and existing spaces in the different office glass partitioning systems. Easily and quickly installed by a good supplier, it allows natural light to flow through an office, bringing many benefits such as staff well-being and productivity. It is a flexible type of business system that can be used in numerous ways, from a simple single wall to individual glass partitions in a larger room to a full stand-alone meeting room with all four walls being glass.
Types Of Glass Partitions
There are several different types of glass partitions, from the simple single glazed or more involved double-glazed partitions, which have a decent level of acoustic performance. There are then several specialised types of glass partition which offer increased performance in some other areas, these include –
- Acoustic glass – specially coated for higher acoustic sound insulation, suited to more private areas such as HR meeting rooms.
- Fire-rated glass – treated to provide further protection in exposed to fire, can be used for routes for fire evacuation.
- Smart glass – uses a chemical between two layers of glass that can be switched from clear to opaque glass at the touch of a button.

It is also possible to have various blinds and shutters installed in double-glazed partitions to add a further option if privacy is required but only at certain specific times.
