Why have Industrial Style Glazed Partitions become so popular in the workspace?
In recent years, there has been a significant shift in the design aesthetics of modern workplaces. Glass partitions have been the trend for the last twenty years, but one noticeable drift that has gained immense popularity is the use of industrial style banded glazed partitions. These sleek and sophisticated partitions are revolutionizing traditional office spaces, offering a blend of functional aesthetics and practicality.
So, what exactly is driving this trend, and why are more businesses opting for banded style partitions?
Firstly, let's delve into what banded industrial style glazed partitions entail. The industrial style is not a new thing. The look was synonymous with windows produced in the early nineteenth century. The look was industrial and gritty, but it wasn’t until the UK Governments post World War I Building Programme that the look really took off.
The utilitarian design feature was functional maximising ceiling heights with full height framed steel windows to let light in while, embracing the minimal decoration with exposed columns.
So why now?
Today’s surge in popularity is driven by the partition’s ‘wow’ factor and the industrial looks ability to complement all sorts of interior styles from Art Deco to Mid-20th Century Brutalist Modern, to the more recent influence of Scandi-style.
