According to environmental psychology (the study of the relationship between individuals and their surroundings) an office can either stress people out or make them creative and happy (1).
Thankfully, offices no longer have to be dull! Modern trends are encouraging innovative designs and concepts to increase both comfort and function.
The following is a list of how window film and wall media can actually play a part in improving office comfort while combating cubicle blues.
1. Privacy from outside in and inside out.
Employers value privacy, but so do employees, so why not provide peace of mind for both.
With dynamic solutions you can not only prevent public onlookers from seeing where they shouldn’t, but can also provide comfort for office workers.
Strategically placed film can tailor a sight line to create the required level of privacy. This can range from decorative solutions, banding strips, or custom designs suited to any need.
Rather than enclosing with a frosted film, embrace new school solutions for office privacy.
Custom printed banding provides a spectrum of varying opacities.
2. Increase comfort and energy efficiency
Solar films not only cut back on utility bills by reducing the transfer of solar energy, but it also creates a more comfortable work environment. Windows are a notorious culprit for energy expenditure and impacting interior climate control.
Our applications can reduce direct heat, cut back on unwanted glare, and increase energy efficiency by decreasing utility expenses, like A/C – that’s a win, win, win situation.
3. Make the office a welcoming environment
Wouldn’t you rather work in a flourishing office space that inspires creativity, uplifts your spirit, and increases your mood than a plain one?
As I type this, I’m sitting with Fenway Park behind me and looking out at the gorgeous Cincinnati waterfront – all in my London office.
Graphic installs not only give customers something to remember you by, they also encourage inspiration for employees through environmental stimulation –whether its glass or walls, we can make your space inviting and exciting.
I hit home runs all day – without leaving my desk
4. Inspire creativity and work flow with colour psychology
Influence work areas with scientifically proven colour psychology.
For instance, exposure to both blue and green has been shown to enhance performance on tasks that require generating new ideas. However, the colour red has been linked with superior performance on tasks involving attention to detail (2).
By implementing coloured films, you can actually improve workflow within designated areas of the office.
5. Create visibility for glass walls.
Prevent glass wall collisions. It’s easier to do then it sounds – picture it, you’re walking, head down reading an email or a file then BANG – head first into a dividing glass wall or meeting room.
Prevent embarrassment and increase safety.
Simply by installing a decorative film or a custom banding strip, you can create visibility and prevent disastrous collisions.
Never walk into a glass wall again
