The days of cubicles and rows of closed doors with endless gray rooms are over. On the other hand, many new office spaces are open and breezy, encouraging collaboration and a one-team feel. The downside? Lack of privacy and design options.
Glass walls and partitions have become a popular option to marry the modern open concept with the need for divides that don’t feel like a division. Here’s what you need to know about design choices that maximize natural light and optimize connection with the rest of the company.
5 Perks of Glass Walls For The Office
If you’re on the fence about whether it’s worth investing in glass walls in your office, let’s take a look at what these see-through walls bring to the table.
Natural Light Brightens the Workday
Sunshine energizes us, and as any photographer will tell you, natural light looks best. A better look in the office and sunlight coming in means better staff moods, translating into easier workdays for everyone. From a cost standpoint, it’s cheaper to have the sun brighten your office than dozens of fluorescent lights that drain the energy from your employees and raise your energy bill.
Space Saving
Walls take up space—a lot of it. On average, office walls range between four and six inches, while glass walls range between ten and twelve millimeters. That’s saving around five inches with the added benefit of appearing to have more space than you actually do. Between the sunlight and open feel, your office would feel much larger than the square footage would tell you.
Flexibility
The material isn’t flexible, but where you put it is. Unlike traditional walls that take a great deal of labor to take down and put up, custom glass wall installations can be moved as a whole pane. You can adjust the layout of your office as needed without calling in a construction crew, dealing with permits, and cornering off a section.
Lower Maintenance
Painted or wallpapered walls easily show signs of wear and tear, while glass walls just require a spray and wipe. It seems counterintuitive, but they’re also highly durable and more resistant to damage than your typical wall.
Greater Resale Value
Whether you own the office space or are renting it out to another company, glass walls are an investment that pays off in spades. They’re highly durable, timelessly fashionable, can be adjusted to suit the space user’s needs, and are easily customizable to meet the company’s branding.
