Office partitioning is a popular feature in any office or workspace. This is largely because they’re flexible, versatile and can provide privacy as and when needed. But what is office partitioning, how does it work and what types are available? In addition, we’ll also be going through the benefits to be had of choosing office partitioning in Nottingham from FIT Interiors over having permanent walls built. Let’s take a closer look at office partitioning:
What is office partitioning?
Office partitions are internal walls that are used to divide different parts of an office or workplace. There are many different types available. They also vary in colours, materials, transparencies, patterns, shapes and designs. Office partitions are versatile enough to suit any workspace, regardless of the industry or sector you work in. They can be used to section off parts of the office as and when needed and are often more affordable than having office walls constructed by a builder.
How does office partitioning work?
Office partitioning is incredibly versatile. They can be installed on either a permanent or temporary basis, depending on your needs and requirements. They’re often positions within an office to divide and alter the existing floorspace. From the design right through to the installation, FIT Interiors will be with you every step of the way when it comes to office partitioning in Nottingham for your office or other workspace.
What are the different types of office partitioning?
It might sound like a one-size-fits-all product, but there are many different types, materials, patterns, designs and transparencies available. This is because many industries use them for a variety of different reasons. So what are the different types of office partitioning available? Here’s a quick run-through:
Demountable – this can be unmounted, moved and reinstalled elsewhere in the office. It’s great if your business is growing or if you don’t want to relocate.
Drywall/plasterboard – this is great if acoustics are important in your office space. It also has insulative properties and can be used to hang things on (pictures, shelving, artwork etc)
Glass – a modern option that comes in a range of transparencies. It’s great for letting in natural light and for giving the appearance of a larger, more open space
Cubicles/stand-alone office cubicles – this segments different areas of the office, which is great if you have different departments or teams that work on different things
Screen dividers – these are standard, simple-to-install partitions that divide workspaces easily with minimal disruption to the workplace
Hygienic – office partitions can be easily cleaned, making them ideal for areas such as laboratories, hospitals, food preparation areas and more
Sliding – these are movable and slideable. They’re an excellent way of dividing rooms while allowing maximum accessibility. It also enables quick room configuration as and when needed
Fire-rated – designed to slow the spread of fire throughout the workplace. They will comply with UK building regulations and safety standards at the time of installation
Industrial – these are built for warehouses, workshops, production facilities, factories and other industrial workplaces. They’re robust, hardwearing and can withstand heavy use
What are the benefits of office partitions?
Office partitioning is incredibly advantageous to business and office owners for a number of reasons. Not only are they available in different colours, shapes and sizes, but they also have some practical benefits to offer, including:
Affordability
The installation of office partitioning is far more affordable than asking a builder to come and build walls to create a room or a segregated area. With office partitioning, no plastering or painting is needed. Simply ask one of our office fitters to place it where you want, and the job is done.
Flexibility
Office partitioning can be easily lifted and moved elsewhere in the office. This makes for a highly flexible working environment all around. Do you need a meeting room, but the one you have is being used by another team? No problem! Take your office partitioning to form a wall and pull up some chairs. You have a second meeting room ready to go at the drop of a hat. No matter the size of your premises, office partitioning offers maximum flexibility when you need it most.
Increased natural light
An office that has block internal walls can feel dark and gloomy. But by using office partitioning instead, you’ll be able to let in more natural light. Parts of the office that were once shrouded in darkness can be illuminated again, all without having to put the light on. Not only can this increase natural light, but it can also save you money. This is simply because you won’t have to put the lights on during the working day.
Privacy
Office partitions are available in a wealth of different transparencies, from completely transparent to opaque. This means that you’ll be able to dictate the privacy of your workplace with office partitioning. Gone are the days of having segregated rooms, which can be costly. Instead, you can choose the level of transparency for your office partitioning and go from there. No matter the industry you work in, office partitioning is useful for this side of things, in addition to everything else detailed above.
