The ideal office layout certainly evolves over the years. Many workplaces strive to create layouts that promote practicality and productivity, as well as aesthetics. Glass partitions and doors can help your office evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of your business – and provide a high level of beauty and versatility that is sure to impress clients.

Check out these reasons why glass doors and partitions can transform the aesthetic of your office, open up the natural space and create an impact on all who work in that space.

1.  Impress Staff and Clients

Just like stores and restaurants strive to attract customers and quality staff, your business office also relies on appearances to make an impact. As such, you need a forward-looking, welcoming and efficient space that manages to impress clients as well as attract the best of the best when it comes to your employees.

Organization values are constantly looking ahead, and sustainability is a big part of that. Because glass is 100% recyclable, you’re demonstrating a dedication to sustainability that is applauded in today’s climate.

2.     Do Business Differently

How we physically perform work is always changing, but basic human needs are still the same: we crave environments that allow for confidential discussion, encourage collaboration, and inspire new ideas. Using glass partitions and doors paves the way for more functional, free-flowing spaces. 

In order for your employees to hit peak performance, they need more than a basic space in order to get the creative juices flowing. They need an environment that values flexibility of form and function. So, putting employees in a dull, windowless room and expecting them to come up with the next big idea is not only impossible but stifling as well. Thus, putting them in an expansive, open floor, sunlit space will help them grow, just like plants in nature.

3.  Customized Layouts

The beauty of glass doors and partitions is that you can customize them to your exact specifications. More importantly, those solutions can adapt to your needs in the future, over and over again. You may need a particular layout now, but what about next year or a few years from now when your office evolves and needs to adapt? No costly renovations have to be tackled. Partitions can be reconfigured easily.

In fact, there are hundreds of configurations and there’s really no limit to your visions. Glass doors, too, can be customized in any way you see fit, whether clear glass from top to bottom or solid doors with frosted side panels. Both products can be designed to fit any conceivable office space, representing a long-term cost-effective solution.  

4.     Increases Staff Well-Being

Fluorescent, airless rooms do little to foster well-being. Yet you still need boundaries in your work space. By using glass partitions and doors, you get all the advantages of a wall while at the same time encouraging the natural flow of light.  As said above, humans are like plants and need open, sunlit spaces to thrive. In fact, we need vitamin D to feel good, boost our mood and de-stress.

The International Well Building Institute found that employees’ productivity declines when they sit more than 24 feet from a window. But in the same vein, no one wants to be shut off from other people all day long. After all, we are social beings and crave the presence of others to be productive. 

The best part of glass in the workplace is that it allows us to see yet not necessarily hear everything that’s going on in a busy area. In the end, glass blends transparency without the distractions and confidentiality breaches.
