Key Benefits of Using Glass in Your Office
The use of glass to break up spaces is becoming increasingly popular in offices. As well as being able to increase the flow of light into dark spaces, it’s an incredibly elegant and professional material choice that works well with most corporate and modern interior design schemes, whether you’re going with an edgy creative agency look or want to enforce that old-school executive feel.
In this blog, we explore the plenty of benefits of choosing glass over other materials.
Make Space Seem Bigger
If your office is quite small and compact, glass can easily help to make the most of what you have. And even if your office has a decent amount of room to move, glass can help it seem more expansive and airy, reducing the chance of people feeling closed in or trapped.
This can be especially important when hosting visitors, potential clients and business partners. The appearance of more space can give people a more positive impression of a place, and leave them with an overall better impression of your team.
More Natural Light
Closely connected to the above point, more transparency in your walls will allow light to flow through them, improving. No one likes a poorly lit office space where you must rely on artificial light even during bright sunny days.
Additionally, if you employ glass wall art as well, you are allowing more light to transfer around the room through reflection. The luminance and vibrancy of glass wall art can also help to add depth to interior spaces, giving you the impression of more space.
One of the biggest complaints from employees about their working spaces is that they feel too small or enclosed, without enough natural light. Often, smart lighting systems and plenty of indoor plants can help to remedy these feelings, but glass is a perfect way to remove some of the lingering darkness in spaces that are not directly connected to windows or doorways.
You Don’t Need to Sacrifice on Privacy
Despite what some people think, using glass doesn't mean you’re letting everyone see what you’re doing 24/7. Using tinted or frosted glass for spaces that need to be less exposed can offer privacy while still achieving a more light and airy atmosphere.
A Great Opportunity for Branding
Glass engraving, printing and etching methods allow businesses to create incredibly professional, sleek and executive looking brand designs, whether that’s just the name of your company on a glass panel outside of your office, or with more extensive glass customization in other areas of your workspace.
A Modern Look
Everybody wants their work environment to look up-to-date and modern these days. While some organisations can get away with traditional materials like leather or wood everywhere, businesses in most sectors will want to give visitors the impression that they’re “current”.
Cost-Effective
Glass is an affordable material choice. It is also incredibly durable meaning it comes with a long shelf life. Combine that with low maintenance costs and you have yourself a really cost-effective material for the office.
