Transform Your Open Plan Office with Freestanding Screens

While open plan offices boast a number of benefits, they also have their drawbacks. For instance, a lack of privacy and noise distraction are both significant issues that many modern workplaces face. However, there is a simple, cost-effective solution: freestanding screens.

By incorporating freestanding acoustic screens into an open plan office space, it’s possible to create areas that can be used for meeting spaces, breakout areas, collaborative work, and much more. In this blog, we’ll be discussing some of the main advantages that come with freestanding office screens and sharing tips for implementing them in your own office.

Increase Privacy

An open plan office may feel contemporary and stylish, but this is often unsuitable for work environments that deal with sensitive information. What’s more, the lack of privacy can also lead to distractions and reduced productivity. But not so with freestanding acoustic screens.

Freestanding screens give employees a sense of personal space without completely isolating them, and produce the quiet environment needed for optimum productivity. You can easily place these screens in different configurations to suit your office layout, making them perfect for meeting spaces or individual work alike. Wherever an area for privacy is required, freestanding screens provide options without the need for a dedicated area away from the main office.

Noise Reduction

Another benefit of freestanding screens is their excellent noise reduction qualities. Freestanding acoustic screens are built with special sound absorbing materials that reduce the overall noise level in a space. In turn, this creates a quieter work environment that is free of distraction and promotes productivity.

Whenever our experts are conducting office space planning for a client, we always recommend freestanding screens with sound-absorbing materials to minimise noise pollution. This is especially important in open plan offices where noise can easily travel and disrupt work.

Fully Flexible

Freestanding screens are incredibly versatile. They can easily be moved around to adapt to different types of layouts and are perfect for creating simple configurations without the need for solid wall partitions.

We usually recommend opting for customisable freestanding screens that can be adjusted in height, width, and configuration. This ensures they will meet most needs of your office layout and aren’t limited to just one function. This flexibility allows you to tailor solutions to different areas of the workspace, all using the same set of freestanding screens.
