What wall heights are available?
Wall heights are available as follows:
Low panels range in height from 42" to 48"
High Panels range in height from 53" to 80"
What are the advantages to all-high cubicles?
All-high cubicles offer the following advantages:
Increased workspace privacy
Reduced office noise
Great for developers or others needing to concentrate
Facilitates full use of overhead storage
Provides a place to hang whiteboards, etc. in each cubicle
Allows more freedom to 'personalize' the cubicle environments with pictures
What are the advantages to all-low cubicles?
All-low cubicles offer the following advantages:
Creates a more 'open' office environment
Facilitates communications / creates a 'team' environment
Eases oversight of operations / personnel
Great for Call Centers or other environments needing constant supervision and communication
Allows natural light from windows to permeate work environment
What are the advantages to step-down cubicles?
Step-down cubicles offer the following advantages:
Greatest degree of flexibility in cubicle design
Offers all the benefits of both all-high and all-low cubicles
Allows cubicles to be customized to the needs of the worker
Each cubicle can incorporate combinations of different height panels
What are the disadvantages to all-high cubicles?
All-high cubicles may present the following disadvantages:
More difficult visual supervision of staff
Reduced opportunity for communication between workers
Obstructs natural light from windows
Less of an 'open' office environment
What are the disadvantages to all-low cubicles?
All-low cubicles may present the following disadvantages:
Decreased workspace privacy
Increased office noise in large areas
Reduced opportunity for overhead storage
Little space to hang whiteboards, etc. in each cubicle
Less freedom to 'personalize' the cubicle environments with pictures
What are the disadvantages to step-down cubicles?
Step-down cubicles may present the following disadvantages:
Requires more customization and pre-planning
Lower availability of used systems
Tile panels utilize vertical sections in the panel, rather than a single physical unit from top to bottom. Click here to view an image of a tile panel system.
Monolithic panels are a single physical unit from top to bottom, unlike the sectional tile panel. Click here to view an image of a monolithic panel system.
What are the advantages of tile panels?
Tile panels offer the following advantages:
Multiple colors or fabrics in single panel
High-tech look
Ability to run cabling at or above the work surface
What are the disadvantages of tile panels?
Tile panel may present some of the following disadvantages:
Often more expensive than monolithic panel systems
Panels are thicker (3" to 3 1/2") than monolithic panels (2")
Fewer fabric choices
What are the advantages of monolithic panels?
Monolithic panels offer the following advantages:
Less expensive than tile panel systems
More fabric choices
More space efficient (2" panel thickness) as compared to tile panels (3" to 3 1/2" thickness)
What are the disadvantages of monolithic panels?
Monolithic panels may present some of the following disadvantages:
Power and cabling typically only at the bottom of panel
Single fabric from top to bottom
What are the most common cubicle sizes?
The most common cubicle sizes are 8' x 6', 8' x 8' and 6' x 6'.
A raceway is a trough or conduit build into a modular furniture panel that allows voice, data and/or power cabling to be pulled through the cubicle systems. Different systems have different kinds of raceways. Some systems have a raceway only along the bottom of the panels, where all outlets will be located. Other types of systems have raceways at the top and bottom. Finally, some Tile Panels have raceways available between tiles, allowing outlets to be located just above the worksurface.
A corner worksurface is located at the juncture between two sides of an L-shaped cubicle. The worksurface includes a 45-degree corner that allows more efficient use of the corner, typically used for computer monitors and keyboards. L-shaped cubicles without a corner unit typically have a 90-degree angle in this location, making the corner less usable.
When can overhead storage be used?
Overhead storage can be used with high panels or when a cubicle is situated against an interior wall.
