Folding Walls for your Workspace

Use Folding Walls to cut through the noise

Open plan offices and workplaces are much more common now than they were 10 years ago, architects and interior designers are drawn to the aesthetic appeal of an airy, light environment whilst employers see the benefit of collaborative and team working that is typically inspired by this approach. However, for those that thrive in a quieter environment, or need more space to focus, folding walls provide a flexible solution to escape the noise when needed without having to leave the office. Clever and subtle placement of folding walls located at the extremities of an open plan office is a smart approach to support employees who might need a quieter space to complete certain elements of work or answer an important call.

Folding Walls fuel creative working environments

But folding walls don’t only shut noise out, they keep it restrained inside when needed too. A growing number of forward-thinking employers are beginning to use folding walls to create group work areas or activity pods – where space can be dedicated to team meetings, creative group work and discussions in a less formal arrangement than an official meeting room. The flexibility of folding wall designs mean that partitions and screen can be laid out to suit a huge range of employer and employee requirements for breaking up workspace including temporary screening and interchangeable personalised branding or graphics.

Maintaining your Folding Walls

Just like many other mechanical products and systems, folding walls are manufactured using a complex series of moving parts and just like with your car, it’s important that each of these moving parts are periodically inspected and serviced to ensure they are properly aligned, affixed, and working harmoniously. Regular maintenance can also be absolutely crucial to aspects of performance like acoustics and the mobility of your folding walls. Most importantly, businesses need to ensure that employees and customers are safe when moving around office spaces and particularly if they are operating folding wall mechanisms, so by organising regular servicing and maintenance they can be assured of the safety of all personnel.
