What is the modern office? Open floor plan, collaborative desks, and social areas are common features of workplaces over the last few years. However, the Coronavirus pandemic has thrown this trend out of the spotlight, meaning social distancing and partitioning is the new normal.
With this in mind, GIA & FIS have collaborated, releasing a guide on how business owners can future-proof their offices with partitioning and ironmongery, coined as ‘re-cellularisation’.
At Workplace Interior Shop, we supply a range of partitioning solutions which can help you shift from open plan to a controlled, ‘cellularised’ workplace.
What is Re-Cellularisation?
Re-cellularisation is the opposite to creating open plan spaces. It is intended to provide cellular space where social distancing can be provided, where teams can collaborate, and individuals can find safe concentrated spaces when they are in the office.
If this is the future of office construction, there are a number of key considerations when renovating or building an office space:
- New build or renovation?
- Will this change building accessibility?
- Will it accommodate the same number of employees?
- What technologies can help antibacterial properties?
- Are building specifications met? (e.g. fire rating, acoustic control).
- Budget?
Once you have established the changes your office requires, we can help you with the next step! At Workplace Interior Shop, we can supply a range of solutions to help you achieve a safe, future-proof environment.
Partitioning
From stud and track walls to stylish glass partitions, we supply attractive and functional walls to help you cellularise your workplace. Our partitions can help you meet safety standards such as fire rating, and minimise noise transfer with acoustic insulation.
Whether you want a permanent change or temporary partitioning system, we have a range of partitions to suit a variety of workplaces and applications.
Ironmongery
Specialist ironmongery is a game changer when it comes to minimising surface contact on doors and handles – the breeding ground of bacteria and viral transmission. With automated solutions on the market, you can ensure reduced transmission in the most important areas.
Cleanable Solutions
Thorough cleaning has never been more important! While most office applications are suitable for standard cleaning regimes, there are a range of products which are specifically designed to withstand heavy duty cleaning and disinfectants.
From flooring to ceiling tiles, interior cladding to cleanable wall coverings, we supply a wide selection of products which will uphold their performance and structural integrity, even when cleaned on a regular basis.
