Open workspaces for employees have become popular in recent years, as businesses reverse the cubicle trend of the 1990s. But open offices aren’t the best choice for every business. Instead, many companies are installing glass partitions in their spaces.
Read on to find out all the benefits of glass partitions.
What are glass partitions?
Glass partitions allow your business to have both the casual interactions of an open office while offering the solo-work benefits of cubicles. Glass partitions allow for the visual impact needed for today’s workspaces while offering the security and sound control to support worker safety and productivity.
Higher productivity
Any time you’re making a change to the workspace, you want to ensure that it has a high return on investment when it comes to how you do business. One of the leading benefits of glass walls is that they enhance productivity among your employees.
Unlike traditional cubicles, they allow supervisors to casually peer in on what employees are doing in the office, making them less likely to shop online, use social media or otherwise waste company time. There’s a boost in accountability as well as a reduction in noise pollution in the office, as another of the benefits of glass partitions is that they provide a level of soundproofing.
Low maintenance
Glass partitions are simple to clean and maintain. You can use a window-cleaning solution to wipe down the glass panels quickly. For treated-glass panels, it’s recommended to use a microfiber cloth. Other than that, glass partitions should last for many years.
Flexibility
If your office is separated by traditional walls, making any changes to the workspace is going to be costly in terms of time and money, but changing around glass partitions is easy and inexpensive. You can switch the location of partitions depending on the size of your workforce and circumstances with ease, eliminating the need to find additional temporary office space.
Lighting
Natural light is something every workplace needs plenty of. This simple change can make such a difference in the health and well-being of employees. Plus, employees with more energy will be more productive. Glass partitions allow for plenty of natural light and also offer noise-blocking capabilities. Frosted glass lets in just as much light while offering more privacy for employees.
Aesthetics
Every employer is facing a crunch in this market in the scramble to attract quality workers. You want to impress potential employees and potential clients. Glass partitions create a slick, corporate feel and are right at home with today’s office aesthetic. Plus, there are a wide range of treatments available to fit your workspace’s style, including etching, frosting and more.
