Design of frameless glass panels in office spaces is rapidly gaining the credence it deserves considering flexibility the product offers when it comes to aesthetical appeal writes George Irungu.
Today, there are so many options for office partitioning. Re-locatable, aluminium, stud and composite partitions are just some of the options in the market.
However, if you are really after top notch quality and elegant style, you might want to consider using glass panels. Glass is a building material indispensable in modern offices. If you visit some of the most sophisticated offices today, some sort of glass partitions and office accessories are incorporated. They are a reflection of the true meaning of aesthetics.
There is always something about glass that screams elegance and style. If only for sheer aesthetic benefits, you should consider using glass as partition walls particularly in office spaces.
Great in giving
Frameless glass panels are great in giving an illusion of more space. Closed board panels can be a bit constricting. It does its work in ensuring privacy in cubicles but does not promote the usually preferred airy and light in the room.
Quite a number of people are against the idea of having glass partition since they believe such a partition will put employees in full view of everyone else. If that is your predicament, then opting for well-designed frosted glass partitions will allow maximum privacy that employees prefer. Such glass partitioning shall at the same time allow ample light that’s definitely desired in a room.
Natural lighting
Another benefit to using glass office partition is the way it literally lights up the whole space. A lot of offices are located in areas where tall buildings tend to cast a dark shadow over them. This can make the room look dark even during the day. These offices resort to using their lighting fixtures during the day. This kind of work ambience is really not conducive. It increases office space temperature and gives a depressing vibe.
Natural light is the best way to go. You cannot imagine how beneficial natural lighting can be when it comes to promoting productivity. It energizes workers and keeps them motivated ensuring that they do not feel alienated.
Every style and décor
Glass is also a suitable material. If you are going for natural and eco-friendly building methods, this material should work well. Frosted glass office partitions are fortunate enough to suit almost every style and décor that could be found in your workplace. Whether your office is leaning towards the old and outdated or has just been renovated with the most up to date fittings, frosted glass partition will be able to really tie the look together.
It is also possible to have the frosting precut with designs, logos and signs, helping to add that extra creative flair to your workplace. Thola Glass Company located in Nairobi along Mombasa Road is one such organization that provides a solvent-based protective coating for clear and frosted glass. This special coating is a water and oil-repellent layer on the glass surface, which also acts as a barrier against lime-scale. It protects glass surfaces that are regularly exposed to water, prevents the build-up of limescale and keeps glass in brilliant condition, looking like new.
