Creating useful office Space

Posted in Interiors on December 19th, 2011 by Website Administrator

Office partitions are often referred to as room dividers. This can give you the flexibility to create new rooms in your office environment, without modifying existing fixtures. Partitions also act as natural sound barrier to keep you maintain a peaceful office environment. One of the most common ways of using partitions is to create cubicles that divide space up into manageable work stations.

Office partitions can either be bolted in or can stand upright without the need for drilling, screws or bolts. Even without being bolted in place, partitions act exactly the same as walls, allowing you to hang pictures, paintings or mirrors. Office partitions can even be painted to blend in with your office environment.

Office partitions can also be customised to create a comfortable working place tailored to your needs. For example, it’s very easy to add a wide range of doors, to add extra sound insulation or to insert a piece of glass that acts a window. Upon request, closets and storage areas can even be built into the office partitions.

The installation of office partitions by Trent Design Group is convenient, quick and affordable. The typical time it takes to install office partitions varies depending on the size of the company and the number of office partitions required, but it often takes less than a day. Overall, office partitions are an affordable solution when compared to the huge cost of permanently renovating your office. Office partitions can be a permanent or temporary solution, dependent solely on your needs.

We can tailor the partitions to suit your budget, and our systems range from the very basic partitions, to glazed partitions with switch-film glass.

The Importance of Good Office Space

Posted in Company News, Interiors on December 13th, 2011 by Website Administrator

A pleasant working environment is key to getting the most out of your employees, according to a recent survey of over 100 office staff.

Of the people that took part in the survey, Only 21% described their current workspace as modern and functional, while 47% claimed their offices were in need of a revamp.
Almost half (49%) said that an office makeover would increase their productivity and more than half thought a better working environment would make them more organised (64%) and enable greater job satisfaction (62%).

Forty-three percent are embarrassed by the current state of their offices when clients and suppliers visit, and the most important factors contributing to a pleasant working environment were (as ranked in the top three):

• Friendly co-workers (70%)

• Good lighting (40%)

• Comfortable desk chair (38%)

• Flexible working options (38%)

According to employees, the effects of the working environment permeate into other business areas, impacting the ability to win new clients (40%), client / customer relations (36%), staff morale (57%) and staff retention (43%).

Expanding with a Mezzanine…

Posted in Interiors, Mezzanine Flooring on December 13th, 2011 by Website Administrator

A specialist printer in Nottingham wanted to stay in their property but desperately needed more space for 3 extra office staff. So after initial meetings, we designed and installed a Mezzanine floor for them.

This allowed them a separate workspace upstairs and still allowed people to work beneath it. All works were completed in 1 day on a weekend which meant very little disruption was caused to their day to day business.

Mezzanine floor installed.
