Get More For Less With Office Partitions

Office partitions are a great way to alter the layout of your working environment and get more from the space you have available, while still providing some privacy for your employees. Adding office partitions has many advantages, not least of which is the low cost – putting up office partitions is always going to be a lot less expensive than building permanent walls. Another advantage with partitions is the fact that they can be moved around to accommodate a different office plan. Quick and easy to install and great for allowing natural light into the working space, office partitions are the way to go in the modern office environment.





Communication is key to the efficiency of any workplace, and physical barriers – such as permanent walls - can serve to cut people or departments off from each other. Walls and doors can be isolating for those inside, and less welcoming – even intimidating – to those on the outside. People find it easier to communicate when they can see each other, or when there is a less formal division of sections or departments. With office partitions, you can create a more fluid and relaxed working atmosphere, which encourages people to interact, while still providing a good level of privacy so that people are able to concentrate and work in peace.

Office space can be expensive to rent or lease, especially in London, so getting the most out of the space you do have is vital. With office partitions, you have a number of options of designs and styles to help you create smaller rooms or sections. Glass partitions are ideal for allowing the maximum amount of natural light into an office plan, as well as having excellent fire retardant and acoustic properties. With glass partitions, employees will feel as if they are working in a more spacious environment. Blinds can be added to glass partitions where more privacy is required, such as in interview rooms, or for meetings.

Cubicle partitions are another popular choice and ideal for getting the most out of a small space. These partitions allow employees to create their own private space and provide adequate room for a desk, computer, filing system, and a few personal items. Floor-to-ceiling partitions create more of a demarcated area but offer the same flexibility as other styles, in that they can be easily rearranged.

It’s possible to have a mixture of partitions styles all within one office – the choice is yours. Another benefit of office partitions that hasn’t been mentioned so far is the fact that you won’t have any walls to paint or paper!
