Today, most offices, banks, trade and exhibition halls are equipped with special partitions. Moreover, in residential buildings and modern apartments it has become fashionable to use such “shirma” in the design – this makes the interior stylish and individual.
The first on the domestic construction market appeared partitions from PVC. Their advantages are obvious. Such designs can be all kinds of colors, which allows you to arrange an office in any style. With careful handling, office partitions will serve you a long service – the life of about ten years. The designs are lightweight, which facilitates installation, and also reduces the load on the supporting structures of the office building. They do not need any special care, if you have a wet rag, your partitions will be like new. They are not afraid of a large amount of moisture, but over time, rust appears on them.
As for the shortcomings, of course the plastic is not very durable, moreover, it costs more than drywall partitions. With the wrong design, it can bend, and correct this defect, alas, it will be impossible. Various mechanical defects quickly appear on plastic, such as scratches, dents, which will definitely not raise the prestige of the company. Such partitions have a low level of sound insulation, of course, if we say a whisper about the secret intentions of the company, it is doubtful that you will be heard in the next department, but of course most of the sounds will be heard.
All the same, this century is the time of glass. Glass designs provide comfort and safety. They don’t burn, they are difficult to break. They are not afraid of the effects of water and other chemicals, which allows you to maintain a respectable appearance. And speaking of the advantages of glass, one cannot bypass the aesthetics of these structures. Speaking in the language of eminent designers, in such premises there is a “erasure of borders, withdrawal from closed spaces”.
Such designs are installed within a short period – 1-2 days – quick installation allows employees to return to their native jobs in such a short time. But only experienced experts should do such work, because if non -professionals take up the work, the partitions will have a lot of shortcomings, in particular, the unreliability of the structure. Of course, this pleasure is not cheap, but still the installation of glass walls will cost much cheaper than the construction of brick walls. They have a high level of sound insulation and thermal insulation, so you can gossip not only loudly, but also warm.
The disadvantages of glass partitions fade next to the splendor of their advantages, but still we will talk about them. Firms that work with customers should provide them with proper comfort. People who come there more often want to talk face to face, and this feeling of the “aquarium” in an unfamiliar habitat will give few people a feeling of freedom and endless confidence. In such cases, preferences should be given to tinted glasses.
Glass does not require special care, but nevertheless, cleaning should be carried out thoroughly, because all kinds of stains and stoops create a careless and inaccurate look.
Both builders and designers unanimously say that today glass partitions are the best solution, moreover, reliable and functional.
