4 Benefits of Frameless Glass Partitions in The Workplace
Many employees are returning to work after being fully remote for a good part of 2020. If you’ve got staff coming back to the office, you’re probably familiar with what’s required to create a safe and healthy workspace.
From following physical distancing protocols to accommodating employee requests not to return, employers have a lot to consider when it comes to COVID-19 workplace safety.
Frameless glass partitions can take care of one of the big worries you might have: How can you safely separate employees to prevent the spread of germs while still enabling them to be collaborative and creative?
That’s why we’re sharing the 4 benefits of installing our office dividers in the workplace:
1. You’re providing protection and peace of mind.
People are justifiably nervous about returning to their offices, especially if they live with family members. It can be especially stressful for staff members who live with elderly or immunocompromised people.
Seeing frameless glass partitions in the workplace can remind your employees that you’re taking the necessary steps to safeguard them against COVID-19, and that you care about their well-being.
And, while you can control the number of people in your business or workplace, there are certain instances in which this just isn’t possible. WorkSafeBC recommends that “Where distance cannot be maintained, consider separating people with partitions or plexiglass barriers.”
Office dividers can step in when employees can’t socially distance themselves from other employees or customers.

2. They stylishly separate areas.
I’m sure you’ve seen those flimsy plastic or thick plexiglass partitions in a business. While they do the job, they’re not pretty.
Frameless glass partitions look elegant and flow with the existing design of your space. Whether your space is modern and contemporary or cozy and colourful, our office dividers will offer protection for employees and customers without sacrificing aesthetics. They also let natural light through, which brightens up any space.
3. They’re easy to clean.
A huge part of COVID-19 workplace safety is cleanliness, including:
- Making hand-washing stations and hand sanitizer easily accessible to employees and customers.
- Taking extra care to disinfect shared surfaces and spaces (e.g., washrooms and kitchen areas).
Fortunately, a soft cloth or wet sponge and common household cleaners are all you need to keep your frameless glass partitions sparkling clean!
4. They’re an affordable enhancement.
Many of today’s workplaces are “open concept,” which dates back to the first dot-com boom in the 90s. This puts employees close to other employees in a shared workspace, which is collaborative but not good for COVID-19 workplace safety.
Rather than having to move desks farther apart, put employees into offices or rent more space, adding frameless glass partitions is a cost-effective way to keep staff engaged, productive—and most importantly, protected.
Today’s workspace has changed—are you ready? While it may be challenging trying to stay on top of COVID-19 rules, regulations and best practices, you also have an amazing opportunity right now. It’s the perfect time to create a warm, welcoming space for your employees that’s better than ever!
