Cubicles are the centerpieces of many offices. They’re a wonderful way to add privacy and block out noise within an open office space, and they’re extremely cost-effective.
Office Pros has a massive selection of both new and used office furniture, including cubicles. Here’s what to consider before investing in new “cubes” for your office space.
1. Space
The space you have will dictate the layout of your cubicles. The more open your space, the more cubes you’ll be able to fit in. Cubicles work best when “clustered” in groups of about four or six.
2. Number of Employees
How many cubes will you need? That depends on your number of employees. A lot of offices like to set up one or two space cubicles, too, to accommodate visitors, guests, or special meetings. Remember cubes don’t have to feature a desk!
3. Height
Do you want your cubicles to block out noise or encourage employee interaction? Low cubicles offer segmentation while still allowing employees to cooperate without leaving their seats. High cubes provide a lot of privacy and usually make ideal additions to offices where employees are always on the phone.
4. Material
Cubes come in all shapes and sizes, but they come in different materials too. Fabric-lined cubicles are popular for their acoustic insulating capabilities. Some offices prefer the cleaner, more modern look of plastic or fiberglass cubes.
5. Add-Ons
A cubicle can be as simple as a square fabric vestibule or as elaborate as any corner office. Consider incorporating filing cabinets, shelving, and even a corner desk into your office cubes for ultimate functionality.
