For example, a high ceiling can make a room feel more spacious, encouraging abstract thinking, creativity and collaboration.  Whereas low ceilings can make an office feel far more snug, aiding detail-orientated concentration.

Commercial ceilings help create an enclosure and separation between spaces, controlling the diffusion of light and sound around a room.  Choosing the right style of ceiling is more important than you might think, not least because it protects and conceals any electrical and plumbing systems above, but it can be fire resistant rated too.

Here at Cubex, we specialise in two types of commercial ceilings, metal frame (MF) plasterboard and suspended ceilings.  Suspended ceilings in particular have proven extremely popular time and time again in commercial buildings such as offices, hospitals, schools, retail stores and even industrial units.  They are ‘‘false’’ ceilings that are constructed below an existing soffit, creating a smooth surface and offering a number of benefits listed below:

Conceal the Chaos
Also known as dropped ceilings, suspended ceilings are a cost-effective way of giving your premises a clean and smooth finish to the internal ceiling of a room, hiding messy cables and pipework which, in turn, enhances the rooms overall aesthetics.  Keep in mind that just because your HVAC systems are neatly tucked away in the ceiling void above, you can still access them.  Suspended ceilings provide easy access into the ceiling void as you can simply lift the tiles up through the gridwork and lower them back down again – much easier than removing the entire ceiling!

Sound Absorption
Sound reduction is a common concern within the workplace, particularly within open plan office spaces, so we thought you might like to know how suspended ceilings also enhance acoustics.  The tiles used for your commercial suspended ceiling may be manufactured from materials such as mineral fibre, metal, plasterboard or laminates, and can be perforated to provide specific levels of acoustic absorption that can be used to control the reverberation time in the space below.  By absorbing energy into the tiles rather than reflecting them back into the room, you can reduce echoing noise.  In turn, a suspended acoustic ceiling helps to improve speech clarity and makes for better communication and collaboration across your departments.

Sound Insulation
Sound absorption and sound insulation are not the same.  Sound absorption occurs by absorbing some of the energy instead of transmitting it.  Sound insulation is a technique that is used to restrict sound from travelling between separate spaces through walls, ceilings and flooring.

Sound insulating ceiling tiles are another option for the make-up of your commercial suspended ceiling.  This type of panel combats sound attenuation which, in turn, reduces room-to-room noise transfer and therefore improves confidentiality, keeping private conversations private.

Fire Safety
Did you know suspended ceilings can also be fire rated?  The ceiling tiles are tested and given a Euroclass (combustibility) rating on their reaction to fire (based on their structural integrity) for a set period of time (usually 30 or 60 minutes).  This indicates how effectively the ceiling can prevent a fire spreading from room to room.  Because of this, suspended ceilings are the go-to choice for new mezzanine floor installations.  Installing fire rated ceiling tiles along with column casements and bulkheads will ensure your mezzanine complies with building regulations regarding fire protection.

Thermal Insulation
Installing a suspended ceiling system will reduce the height of the room and subsequently act as an effective method to ‘‘trap’’ warm air in the room.  This prevents heat energy from escaping through a ceiling void and helps to reduce your heating bills.  Pretty cost-effective, eh!

Light and Energy Efficiency
The quality of light in a room will contribute to its overall appearance and function. Poor lighting in any environment can lead to eye strain, fatigue and headaches which can reduce the productivity and comfort of your staff while at work.

With better insulation and lighting, a suspended ceiling can reduce your overall energy expenditure. Not only does this have a huge impact on day-to-day expenses, but it can also reduce your business’s carbon footprint too.

Moisture Resistance and Hygiene
Leisure centres, washrooms and kitchens are just three examples of businesses working in high humidity.  These companies will need a ceiling tile solution that does not warp or house mould and isn’t prone to staining either (water rings).  Thankfully, suspended ceilings are versatile and by changing the specification of the tile they can be moisture resistant too, meaning they can tolerate humid workspaces.  They can also be wipeable (easy to clean), helping to maintain a sanitary workspace – perfect for hospitals!

Maintenance
In the unlikely event one of your suspended ceiling tiles becomes faultyor damaged, they’re easy to replace.  They can be individually removed from the grid without having to remove the entire ceiling, making repairs and replacements quick, easy and inexpensive.

Time and Money
This is the part you’re really interested in, right?  You’ll be pleased to know that the installation of a commercial suspended ceiling is by no means timely!  In fact, of all the workplace ceiling options, suspended ceilings are the quickest to install.  And in even better news, suspended ceilings promise longevity and great value for money, proving to be a worthwhile investment.  What’s more, the materials used in the make-up of your suspended ceiling can be customised to meet your design requirements too.

We mentioned earlier that suspended ceilings were a popular choice among business owners, and we bet you can now see why!  If you’re looking to start your next workplace refurbishment project and are looking for a contractor to design and deliver a bespoke, functional and aesthetic workspace, get in touch with Cubex today – we can even act as your Principal Contractor!

Cubex recommends a double glazed acoustic partition with a framed door (take a look at the picture to the right for a visual example of what this looks like).  Double glazed acoustic glass office partitions have a sound attenuation of up to 46 decibels (in laboratory conditions).  Plus, there won’t be a gap with a framed acoustic door.   With a double glazed acoustic partition and framed acoustic door you can block out the day-to-day distractions and feel assured that you’re conversations will be much more private and noise from outside will be drastically reduced too.   

But what does a reduction of 39 or 46 decibels actually sound like?  Hear for yourself by listening to the before and after sound attenuation clips below:

The post How Partitioning can Reduce Sound in your Office appeared first on Cubex Contracts.

With a stud partition you can create a variety of new and separate workspaces including individual offices, meeting rooms, conference areas, break-out zones, and communal and collaborative spaces too.  This will help to ensure your staff continue to feel part of the team while they’re working separately, avoiding distraction from the hustle and bustle of the main office.

What is a Stud Partition?
A stud partition wall can be built with timber, metal, glass, brick, plaster or even concrete.  Here at Cubex Contracts we tend to use a galvanized steel stud fame with plasterboard either side (great for moisture resistance and vapour control), and rockwool infill for sound attenuation.  This is then taped and jointed before being decorated to resemble a standard plasterboard wall.  It can then be decorated to give a seamless and solid wall appearance, or it can be finished with aluminium trims and vinyl.

We have over 25 years of experience in designing and installing stud partitions, In that time we have seen no end of configurations including solid full height, glazed full height and partially glazed modules. We also recommend incorporating a glazed element to help natural light through!

Commonly used in commercial refurbishment projects, stud office partition walls are rarely constructed as load-bearing structures (load bearing walls are usually made from sturdier materials such as concrete, steel and brick).  Stud partition walls are quick and easy to install, and are a great cost-effective way of dividing a large room into smaller sections.

Stud Partitioning: How it Comes Together
A stud wall consists of lengths of stud to form the main supporting elements of the frame system, creating a modern office partition.  Although there are multiple parts to the frame, we call it a ‘‘stud’’ wall as these are the most important components within the wall’s structural integrity.  The other main parts of a stud wall include the following:

• Floor plates (also known as ‘‘soleplates’’). This is the piece that runs along the floor, fixing the frame to the floor.
• Ceiling plate (also called the ‘‘head’’ or ‘‘top plate’’). This part of the stud wall fixes the frame to the ceiling.
• These are the small parts between the studs and are a key part of the frame (they brace the structure and support the studs… and we love the name!).

Why Stud Partitioning is a Popular Choice for Commercial Offices
Stud partitioning is commonly used in offices due to its flexibility and relatively inexpensive construction process.  Stud partition walls are also incredibly popular because of the following performance features:

• Fire resistance: Fire resistance is a key element to consider, particularly when constructing new areas such as a communal kitchen, helping to meet your health and safety requirements.
• Sound insulation: Sound insulation is a common issue for many commercial offices.  We can incorporate specialist acoustic boards into your new stud partition wall to lessen the sound of meetings, music and other annoyances within the space.

Stud office partition systems require simple maintenance and can be easily repaired if damaged, plus it’s economical too.  Suitable for both commercial and warehouse spaces, these soundproof partitions are strong, compact and lightweight… all great structural qualities to have when creating additional workspaces within your office environment.  What’s more, skirting boards are added to protect the partition, whilst also giving the impression of a solid wall too.

Installing a Stud Partition in Your Office:
We’ve got great news… providing your stud partition design is not load bearing, you don’t need to seek planning permission and there isn’t much to do in terms of Building Regulations either (but Cubex can take care of all that on your behalf… that’s one thing less for you to worry about!).

Office partitioning systems are a great way to increase privacy without the loss of an open space feel, so if you’d like to know how a stud partition could benefit both your premises and your team, get in touch with the experts at Cubex Contracts today.

We have ample experience designing and installing partitioning systems within offices, retail stores and industrial warehouses.  Our Project Managers will visit your premises and design a bespoke partitioning system adhering to your unique requirements and budgets.  At Cubex, we’re not in the habit of quoting a price to a customer and then producing a list of extra’s at the invoice stage. We try to cover every eventuality when producing a quotation so there are no nasty surprises at the end.  We like our customers to be dazzled not disappointed!

Psst!  There’s more…
Here at Cubex Contracts we love stud partitioning and it’s one of our best sellers – so it’s a firm favourite among our customers too!  But did you know that we also design and install jumbo stud partitioning solutions too? Perfect for dividing space within busy industrial warehouses and factories.  Jumbo stud is stronger, more durable and more secure than most other partitioning systems (not surprising – the clue is in the name!) because of its metal framework, and it can be finished to resemble a plasterboard wall.  Using 150mm galvanised steel sections at its core, jumbo stud partition walls can be built up to 11m high and are fire resistant and sound absorbing too.  Plus, if you later need to carry out dilapidations to return your leased building back to its original state, jumbo stud partitioning can be removed. Another brilliantly flexible solution!

The post Divide a Large Office into Smaller, Functional Areas with Stud Partitioning appeared first on Cubex Contracts.

Here at Cubex Contracts we have over 25 years of experience designing and installing partitioning systems within offices, retail stores and industrial warehouses; In that time, we have seen no end of uses and configurations – we’ve even been asked to build partitioning in a wind tunnel… yes, really!

We understand that every customer has different requirements, design specifications and budget considerations which is why it is vital they understand what office partitions are available to them and which of them will work best within their workspace.  To help you choose the right partitioning system for your office, we’ve put together this blog to highlight the many concerns commercial partitioning systems can solve.  So pop the kettle on, sit back and let’s find your ideal partitioning solution together:

Composite Partitioning
A firm favourite among Cubex customers is composite partitioning – and not just because it comes with an entry level price tag to support your budget!  Composite partitioning systems are cost effective and can be dismantled and moved to a new location should the need ever arise (that’s handy, don’t you think?).  Composite partitions are a great choice for general workspace requirements including individual offices, meeting rooms and industrial canteen areas, and they don’t take long to install either.  With a large selection of frameworks and finishes to choose from, Cubex Contracts can design and install your new composite partition walls with encapsulated blinds and door frames (painted or finished with a wood veneer of your choosing).  Here are a few more benefits of commercial composite partition walls we think you should know:

• You can choose between single or double-glazed panels
• Suitable for any commercial or warehouse space
• Easy maintenance (scuff marks can be wiped clean)
• Re-usable and flexible (portable)
• Fire rated (maximum 30 minutes with solid panels)

When you partner with Cubex Contracts, we will design and construct your composite partitioning system from solid plasterboard, ensuring it is finished in high-quality vinyl wall coverings, powder coats or paint finishes.  We can also incorporate fully or part glazed glass panels too if you wish – the choice is yours!

Glass Partitioning
Another popular choice among customers of Cubex Contracts is glass office partitioning because it creates a light and superior look, separating workspaces in style.  We have another blog where we review how glass partitioning offers a modern twist to traditional office spaces. You can read it here, but the key benefits we want to highlight are:

• Stylish, clean and optimises natural light
• Sound attenuated options available
• Low energy costs
• Quick assembly (minimum disruption to your business)
• Toughened glass partition
• Choose from single or double-glazed glass panels

Commercial glass partitions work well within reception areas, conference rooms and meeting spaces, making a positive visual impact to your customers.  They’re also a great way to implement privacy without losing the open space feel.  And speaking of privacy, manifestations* can be added to internal glass partitions to prevent others from looking in while you’re sharing confidential data or hosting 1:1 meetings; In fact, manifestations can incorporate company designs or logos that echo your corporate branding… how great would your company logo look on your new internal glass wall?  You can choose from floor to ceiling glass partitioning, and half/part glazed, incorporating internal blinds and doors to your design too.  Although they are more expensive than other commercial partitioning systems, a frosted glass partition is great for any space in need of a modern transformation!

*Manifestation is a treatment that can be applied to glass windows, doors and partitions (and any other large expanses of clear glass for that matter) in order to make the glass visible, preventing injury through collisions.

Stud Partitioning
Adding commercial partitioning into your office design is a great way to make use of every inch of space, and stud partitioning has numerous additional benefits including:

• Fire protection
• Appearance of traditional plastered walls
• Sound attenuating qualities
• Economical and lightweight
• Strong and compact
• Suitable for both commercial and warehouse spaces
• Simple maintenance and easily repairable if damaged
• Doors can be added in a range of finishes to match any existing furnishings
• Skirting boards are added to protect the partition, whilst giving the impression of a solid wall

Generally speaking, stud partitioning is a galvanized steel stud frame with plasterboard either side and rockwool infill for sound attenuation.  This is then taped and jointed before being decorated to give a seamless and solid wall appearance. Alternatively, it can be finished with aluminium trims and vinyl (available in an array of designs and colours).  Here at Cubex Contracts we love stud partitioning and it’s one of our best sellers.  We recommend incorporating a glazed element into your new commercial stud partition to help natural light through to your new workspace as it helps to create a more spacious environment.

Did you know that we also design and install jumbo stud partitioning solutions too; perfect for dividing space within industrial warehouses and factories!  You can learn more about jumbo stud partitioning here.

The post Composite, Glass or Stud: Choosing the right partitioning system for your office appeared first on Cubex Contracts.

We’ve reviewed the popular choices of sliding partitioning below – a functional, strong and statement feature for any workplace.  We’ve also reviewed stud, glass and other materials used for modern office partitioning separately which can be found on our blogs page.

Sliding Partitioning
Operating on a track instead of swinging open like a hinged door, sliding partitioning allows businesses to transform open working areas into separate, private and enclosed spaces effortlessly.

Saving space is crucial for businesses with ample staff, furniture, stock or equipment, and a sliding office partition door can be a great solution for smaller offices looking to make the most of space.  In fact, sliding office partitions (also known as sliding walls), offer multiple benefits including:

• Aesthetics: Incorporating a sliding feature into any room, particularly a sliding glass partition, provides a sophisticated appearance and enhances the interior design of a space.
• Sound attenuation: Acoustic membranes are incorporated into the material of your sliding partition to prevent outside noise coming through (and vice versa), keeping private meetings private.
• To aid privacy, manifestations* can be added to internal glass partition walls to prevent others from looking in while you’re sharing confidential data or hosting a one-on-one meeting.
• Boost employee focus and productivity: With a smaller and private working area readily available with low sound transmissions, your team can improve their focus to hit deadlines and achieve more in the working day.
• Cost effective: If your office is entirely open plan, there’s no need to relocate or invest in solid walls; Simply install a modern partitioning system with a sliding element instead and keep the open plan feel whilst satisfying the need for a private room as and when required.
• Maximise space: Without compromising on style, quality or square feet, you can transform the workspace to suit changing business demands. For example, a small meeting room for a confidential one-on-one discussion can soon be opened up into a larger space shared by several colleagues for collaborative working.
• Increased ventilation: A sliding glass partition allows for natural light flow. Exposure to natural light, including through a transparent sliding partition door, can improve not just productivity among the workforce, but morale too).  Is there enough natural light throughout your office?

*Manifestation is a treatment that can be applied to glass windows, doors and partitions (and any other large expanses of clear glass for that matter) in order to make the glass visible, preventing injury through collisions.

Combining elegance and strength, a sliding office partition design can be paired with many architectural and interior design styles.  Choosing the right partitioning system for your office is no mean feat, but we think it’s worth mentioning that the surface of a sliding glass partition can also be used as presentation space for practical meetings or war rooms… Pens and post-it notes at the ready!

Sliding Folding Partitioning
Guess what?!  There’s another design option when it comes to your new commercial sliding partition!  Sliding folding partitions are also extremely popular for businesses looking to maximise the use of their office space.

With a range of custom-built hinged panel walls, sliding folding partitioning systems offer a combination of simplicity of movement and high-level acoustic integrity.  They can either be hung from a ceiling track or supported by a low-profile surface mounted floor track.  Either way, the partition slides along the track, folding into sections at each hinge (think of a panelled room divider you might have at home… they fold in a similar way).  The folding walls can be single parting and stacked at one end, or bi-parting and stacked at both ends… The choice is yours!

Sliding folding partitioning is a fantastic solution for hotels, conference centres, lecture theatres, large meeting rooms and other office environments looking to maximise the use of a space; The area can be divided up into two smaller rooms effortlessly, and then quickly and easily opened up into one big room for those Monday morning mingles or monthly Townhalls.  It’s no secret that commercial space is often at a premium therefore it makes financial sense to maximise the use of what’s already available, right?  Plus, modern office buildings also need to cater for an increasing range of activities and the subsequent demand for multi-functional workspaces.  Thankfully, a commercial sliding folding partition wall can be a cost-effective solution for both.

Similarly to sliding partitioning, sliding folding partitioning shares many of the multiple workspace benefits including sound attenuation, privacy and use of space.  Plus they look pretty great too!  Versatility is another important aspect to consider for the workplace; Being able to create a private space by simply pulling across a folding partition wall could be a beneficial addition to any office.  What’s more, the design of your new sliding folding partition can also incorporate a glazed element and access doors.

Sliding and sliding folding partitioning systems can create a well organised office that encourages collaboration, promotes productivity and ultimately enhances style.  If you are looking for ways to make better use of space within your busy office, a new sliding partitioning installation could be the answer you’ve been looking for.  Regardless of the shape and layout of your workspace, Cubex are here to help!  We have over 25 years of experience designing and installing commercial partitioning systems in a variety of offices, retail stores and industrial warehouses.  So what are you waiting for?  Get in touch today and we’ll work with you to transform unused, impractical and, dare we say, gloomy spaces into bespoke, bright, stylish and functional working areas, whilst adhering to your specific requirements and budget too.

The post Bespoke Office Solutions: Sliding Partitioning appeared first on Cubex Contracts.

As business demand changes so do our requirements and expectations for our workplace – perhaps you really need additional meeting rooms or collaborative spaces to introduce and encourage hybrid working. Maybe privacy and sound reduction is becoming more of a concern, or perhaps your team could benefit from a new communal area away from the business operations?  Whatever you need, Cubex has the solution.

We specialise in commercial fit out and refurbishment solutions including mezzanine floors, ceiling and flooring installations, space planning and commercial partitioning systems which, in particular, are increasingly popular among commercial businesses because of their versatility, flexibility and aesthetics.

Office Partitioning Systems
Open plan office spaces have proven very popular for businesses in recent years as they remove barriers and improve aesthetics whilst enabling flexible ways of working. This of course increases communication among the workforce.  But what we see all too often is when groups working within the same open space struggle to focus as they battle through the many distractions that an open area can bring. That’s why we recommend giving your traditional office a modern twist with partitioning systems – and there are many different types to choose from. They can be used to transform large, open and, sometimes (dare we say) unproductive areas into smaller, practical spaces the whole team can benefit from.  Plus, they are a great way to introduce increased privacy without the loss of an open space feel.

Glass Partitioning Systems
When it comes to office partitioning, a firm favourite for us here at Cubex HQ (and our clients) is a glass partitioning system.  If you’re thinking that glass isn’t strong or tough enough to create additional meeting rooms, increase privacy or give some acoustic barriers, you’d be very wrong indeed.

In fact, glass partitioning is fantastic for improving acoustics, adding a degree of privacy into your office and maximising light. It’s also incredibly versatile (which you wouldn’t have thought, would you?). Plus – it looks great.

How a Glass Partition can Improve Acoustics in the Office
Open plan office spaces aren’t for everyone – some of us struggle to concentrate as there is always something going on or a conversation to be heard. Plus confidentiality is extremely important and private conversations simply cannot take place in the middle of an open office. So for those businesses who appreciate an open plan feel, but not the open plan hustle and bustle, the solution here is a glass partition.

A glass partitioning system is durable enough to cut out outside noise whilst letting light filter through. This also helps towards low energy costs (something to consider more now than ever before!).  With glass partitioning you can create working areas and meeting rooms for your team to utilise throughout the working day, whilst still feeling as though they are included, but not distracted by, the ongoings of the main office.

At Cubex, we’ll visit your business premises prior to installation to design a bespoke glass partitioning system that fits perfectly within your four walls.  Interested? Let us know!

Increase Privacy with Glass Partitioning
Whether it’s to host an interview, partake in a conference call or perhaps the next half year team appraisals are coming up, confidentiality is paramount and so it is vital to have a degree of privacy within the office.

Dividing an open space into smaller working areas with glass partitioning is a great way to implement privacy.  You could create meeting rooms or section off parts of the workspace for independent, agile or collaborative working for smaller groups… the choice is yours, there is no ‘‘one size fits all.’’ That’s why when you partner with Cubex, your glass partition design will be created specifically to your requirements (and budget) so you can be sure you’ll be creating practical spaces that work.

Plus, manifestations* can not only contribute towards additional visual privacy, but they’re decorative too; you can add a frosted section on the glass divider to incorporate company designs or logos that echo your corporate branding.

*Manifestation is a treatment that can be applied to glass windows, doors and partitions (and any other large expanses of clear glass for that matter) in order to make the glass visible, preventing injury through collisions.

Maximise Light in your Office with Glass Partition Walls
Lighting can dramatically affect the overall look and feel of a space… nobody wants to be working in a dark and dingey room for 8 hours a day, do they?  With a transparent partitioning system such as glass, the amount of natural light able to enter a room is maximised, helping to enhance the mood of your team and, in turn, increasing their productivity levels.  Plus, having natural light in an office helps with visibility and reduces the energy usage of a building… that’s a win-win for us!

A Glass Partitioning System is Really Versatile… Yes, really!
If you think about glass as a material, you might think about how easy it is to smash and break. But believe it or not, the glass used for partitioning is toughened glass so not only is it far more durable that what you might think, it’s also incredibly versatile as it can be assembled and dismantled again quickly without the need for any structural modifications – great for growing businesses!  And in even better news, no stud walls required… bonus!

Glass Partitioning – A Modern Feature within the Modern Office
The beauty of a glass wall partition is that it is such a simple design and, unlike other commercial partitioning systems, glass is a sleek, stylish and practical feature for businesses looking to utilise more of their workspace. It’s no wonder more and more corporate offices are opting to incorporate glass partitions into their premises as they create modern, bright and spacious environments.  Plus, as we mentioned earlier, you can add frosted sections to the glass to incorporate company designs or logos… how great would that look in your office?

Based in Northamptonshire, we provide a wide range of commercial partitioning systems to suit all requirements and budgets including stud, jumbo stud, composite, sliding and, of course, glazed glass office partitions, helping to bridge the gap between open concept and traditional office spaces.  Find out more about these great commercial partitioning solutions here, and for any other information or to arrange for a quotation, get in touch with Cubex today – we’d love to hear from you.

In recent years, open plan office spaces have proven to be a popular choice for businesses as they remove barriers and improve aesthetics, whilst enabling flexible ways of working. This, in turn, increases communication among the workforce.  Sounds great, right?  We’re afraid not! The team here at Cubex Contracts have seen all too often how groups that work regularly within the same open space can struggle to focus as they battle through the many distractions and lack of privacy that an open plan workspace can bring.  In fact, research has found that open office spaces can in fact reduce employee productivity by up to 20% – that’s staggering!  So, what’s the solution here?  Yep, you guessed it – office partitioning systems!

When it comes to maximising the use of commercial space with partitioning, there’s no ‘‘one size fits all’’. The most important factor is to determine your requirements. So you’ll need to ask yourself some very important questions, such as:

• What do I want from our new office partition i.e. soundproof office partitions or portable office partitions?
• What materials, colours and designs do I want to incorporate into the office with commercial partitioning?
• How will the workspace flow with new commercial office partitions?

Once you’ve got an idea of what you want to achieve within your office space, our specialists will get to work on designing a bespoke modern office partition system that adheres to your unique needs and budget.

Innovative Office Partition Solutions with Cubex Contracts
Office partitioning is available in a variety of materials and styles and may be known by different names including office dividers, desk partitions or even office divider partitions.  Here at Cubex Contracts, we design and install a comprehensive range of commercial office partitioning, including:

• Composite office partitioning: a versatile and fully relocatable partition with an entry-level price tag to support your budget. When you partner with Cubex Contracts, we will design and construct your composite partitioning walls from solid plasterboard, incorporate fully or part glazed glass panels (with blinds!) and aluminium doors too – if that’s what you want of course!  What’s great about composite office partitioning systems is that they can be utilised in a number of ways within the workspace including meeting rooms, break-out zones and communal areas –whatever the need for space might be, composite partitioning can be a great solution!
• Sliding office partitioning: being able to create a private and enclosed space by simply pulling across a sliding folding office partition wall could be a beneficial addition to any commercial workspace. Incorporating sliding office partitioning into your working area is a great way to maintain space as they require less room than hinged doors. They’re incredibly versatile too meaning they can support changing daily business demands (you can have a private meeting room which can then be quickly and easily folded away after use, opening up the space again).  Sliding modern office partitions allow natural light flow whilst improving employee productivity and focus due to their sound reduction technology – perfect for mitigating distractions within busy working environments with high levels of noise.
• Glass office partitioning (also known as glazed office partitions): we’ve written everything you need to know about commercial glass partitioning in a separate blog: Give your traditional office a modern twist with glass partitioning. But to summarise, glass office partitions favour excellent light flow whilst providing a sleek and modern look, ideal for contemporary offices.  They are great for hosting interviews, weekly 1:1 meetings and to accommodate conference calls in peace!  Dividing an open space into smaller working areas with glass partitioning is a great way to implement privacy, sound reduction and confidentiality. Plus, did you know that you can add manifestations (a frosted design treatment) to your glass partition walls?  They’re a real eye-catcher and can echo company branding with your logo on the glass walls… just think how great they would look in your working area!
• Stud office partitioning: a very popular choice among Cubex clients is commercial stud partitioning for offices. You can read about how stud partitioning is erected here, but two major benefits of stud partition walls are fire resistance and sound insulation.  Fire resistance is a key element to consider, particularly when constructing new areas such as communal kitchens, as this helps to meet your health and safety requirements.  Sound insulation is a common issue within commercial offices and is a key reason why stud partition walls are often chosen (they include specialist acoustic boards to lessen the sound of meetings, music and other daily annoyances).

As business demand changes so do the requirements and expectations of our workplaces. As a business owner, perhaps you really need additional meeting rooms or collaborative spaces to introduce and encourage hybrid working? Maybe privacy and sound attenuation is becoming more of a concern? Or perhaps your team could benefit from a new communal area away from the day-to-day business operations?  Whatever you need, Cubex has the solution.

Partitions are an integral part of office design and one that our designers will introduce seamlessly and stylishly into your office.  Whether you want to create a visual impact or implement additional privacy and sound reduction with commercial partitioning, our experts will work closely with you to understand how your business works, ensuring we find the best solution tailored to your unique requirements and budget.  And in more good news, you do not usually need planning permission or building regulation approval to construct an internal non-load-bearing partition wall.

If you’re considering enhancing your workplace with innovative office partitioning solutions, contact Cubex today – we will be with you from the design stage right through to installation, providing a thorough end-to-end solution. You’ll have your very own bespoke partition system that not only looks great, but is practical too.  So what are you waiting for?  Give us a call on 01933 460422 or email us at sales@cubexcontracts.com.
