There’s an old adage that says “People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”. The saying goes all the way back to the 1300s, and is a bit silly if you think about it in a literal sense, but it’s an idiom that’s still used today.
To showcase our glass wall installations, we’re going to start our own idioms:
Glass modular office partitions are actually made from high-strength glass capable of withstanding considerably more abuse than your traditional window. They are mounted on light-weight, high-strength aluminum frames. While they aren’t indestructible, they’re more than sturdy enough to handle the wear and tear of everyday use.
Glass walls are a great way to let natural light shine through the entire office, as well as make more of the ambient lighting from the rest of the office. The result is a more cheery, brightly-lit office where you might otherwise find a dark cave.
Nothing looks sleeker than the sheen of glass office walls. The trend is a common sight in cutting-edge office spaces and used by industry-leading designers the world over—and once you’ve seen the result, you’re certain to understand why.
It might go without saying, but having transparent office walls can make it more easier for supervisors to keep an eye on their workers. Soundproofing options also allow managers to focus on their work with the door closed, while still allowing them to glance up and survey the floor.
While glass office wall installations are excellent at letting in outside light and promoting an ‘open concept’ feel, there are also a number of options to promote privacy. After all, most managers require a ‘closed door’ from time to time to hold sensitive meetings, to intensely focus on challenging work, or to simply ‘lock the door’ to avoid interruptions during break periods.
Modular wall installations have a number of built-in privacy options such as frosted glass and opaque partitions, as well as a whole range of elegant privacy accessories such as venetian-style blinds.
In short, there are a number of reasons why you might want to invest in glass walls for your office. If you decide to ‘go clear’ with your office layout, give us a call to start a plan to set up your new glass office.
