Uses for Glass within an office

Office spaces can sometimes be rather low on imagination and exuberance. They serve their purpose, but are little in the way of aesthetically pleasing for those who work in them. By using glass as a material, our offices can be reinvigorated. Glass can make an office feel lighter, more contemporary and lift the spirits of those working within the space.
The first way of utilising glass in your office is to use it as part of internal partitions. By doing this, you will actually save money on your energy bills, because more light will penetrate through into your office. The partition glass walls add light and texture to an area, as well as helping to reduce levels of noise from one location to the next.
The glass is also fire resistant and therefore acts as a safety barrier between potentially hazardous materials in your office. Divides like this not only look interesting but will help to create a sense of light and space that your office could probably do with. The divides can be tailor made to suit your need. Different effects can be engraved into the glass and varying levels of translucency applied too, offering more privacy, depending on where the partition is placed.
The choice of glass products for the office is vast. Replacing your windows can be a great energy saving method for the long term, as well as having a dramatic impact on your office aesthetics. You may shudder at the thought of installing brand new windows because the cost is considerable, there’s no denying it. However, the amount you may be losing in energy bills makes it worthwhile over time. Not only that, but if you have old windows, you will probably have to spend money maintaining them or fixing damages. Modern windows will not need as much maintenance and so there is another saving.
By fully utilising the benefits of glass products in the office, you will also feel that the warmth from the sun increases. Because light travels through the glass, so too does the heat, and so you’ll discover that you won’t need to have the heating on as much if your glass facades are placed in tactical zones.
By contacting a professional glass manufacturer who specialises in large spaces such as offices, you will be opened up to a world of creative and inspirational ways to completely change the feeling in your workplace.

Inventive ways to use glass

Gone are the days when Glass was only used in windows and occasionally doors within your home, with interiors becoming more modern by the day many architects and interior designers are now using glass to make a statement and also to make their design stand out from the crowd.

However this isn't limited purely to those in the design trade, many homeowners are looking at ways to improve their home and add a design twist that will really stand out. We get requests from all kinds of people, and we are proud to say that we will consider every request made, and if it can be made then we will make it.

One of the most popular items at the moment are glass wall art panels made from either textured, gilded or coloured glass. These panels can be made to your bespoke design, meaning that you will have a one off piece of art in your home, and they can also be made to the size you request.

Another option is to have a freestanding glass shower cubicle, made from textured and tinted glass. These look beautiful, especially if placed in the middle of a room rather than against a wall, and the fact they can be tinted means they can be made to suit your decor.

If you have an idea for something that you would like added to your home made from glass then please do contact us at our textured glass design studio and we will see what we can do, there really is no job to big or small.
