If you are looking to redecorate your workplace over winter, one of the ways that you can completely transform this space is through office partitioning. London businesses use frosted glass partitions and demountable partitioning in a wide variety of premises, from call centres to factories, offices, workshops and newsrooms, because they are so versatile.
Installing office partitioning can bring a number of benefits to firms based in London and elsewhere. As well as making the most of the space available – by creating work spaces and additional rooms – it also helps reduce noise levels, which in the long run can help to improve productivity.
Essex-based GDL has many years of experience of office interior design services. Here, we will focus on the benefits of installing partitions and how they can help create a more appealing environment to work in.

Beautify the Workspace
Frosted glass partitions are used to create a more attractive work environment, making the most of natural light and helping to make the workplace feel more airy and spacious. Glazed partitioning allows employees to keep visual contact with colleagues in other departments, but it also brings more privacy and helps cut down on noise. Another advantage of glass partitions is that when glass manifestation is applied, it can carry attractive designs, including company logos, which provides a more co-ordinated look to an interior.
Create additional rooms
Installing solid or glazed partitioning will help to make better use of the space within an office, by breaking up large areas to create meeting rooms or conference rooms, as well as managers’ offices. Although open-plan offices have been the norm in many types of business for decades now, they do have some disadvantages, including the lack of privacy in places where confidential meetings are held. Using partitioning to create smaller rooms within an open area is a way to combat this and will ensure that the offices meet the current needs of the workforce.
Reduce Noise Levels
As well as the problems with lack of privacy, open-plan offices can also have difficulties with noise. For instance, a department which holds sales meetings with motivational speeches may be located next to an administration section, where people are doing paperwork that requires silence and concentration. The result of having these two sections near to each other is that productivity may be lost and expensive errors could occur.
Call centres are another type of environment which can benefit from office partitioning with sound reduction qualities. It can cause distraction if workers are forced to listen to the details of other people's phone calls while they try to concentrate on their own conversations with customers. However, if the right type of partitioning is used, such as sound-proof partitions in between desks, it can cut down on this type of problem.
Make the Workplace Safer
By law, fire partitioning needs to be installed in some areas of a building, including corridors. Using fire-rated partitions can help to stop a blaze spreading, and so this type of partitioning offers protection to both employees and customers. Another advantage is that business records will also have an extra safeguard.
There are also other building regulations governing partitioning, including the need for glass manifestation to prevent people walking into glass walls by mistake. You can be confident that all GDL's partitions meet all the regulatory standards and will enhance the safety of the workplace.
Add Flexibility
Demountable partitioning can help to make your workspace more flexible, because you can create conference facilities or meeting rooms as and when they are needed. A demountable partition can easily be taken down and used again elsewhere, so using this type of wall makes it possible to adapt your offices as your business needs change without the need for expensive building work.
Increase Storage
Storage partitioning is another type of installation that can help make an office more adaptable to the current requirements of a business. In many workplaces the lack of storage is a problem, because the space which was adequate when the company first set up may become less so as it expands and launches extra departments and services. Storage walls are a space-saving solution, as they have a two-fold purpose: they serve as partitions and also provide somewhere to store away records and supplies.
