If you work in a large, open office, there are times when it can be difficult for your employees to get the privacy they need to work effectively. However, this problem can be solved by creating a glass partition, a small wall or barrier that helps give your employees the privacy they need while still allowing them to communicate with nearby colleagues.
It is quite possible to make your own glass partitions at home with a bit of manual labor, as long as you are a relatively competent carpenter. This guide will help him understand many of the considerations to take into account if he decides to build his own glass partitions at home and will guide him step by step through each stage of glass partition construction.
The first stage you need to think about is how much office space you actually have. You can even avoid building a partition if you’re creative with the space you have. Instead of building a partition, you might consider using a bookcase or other type of shelf. A large picture frame screen can also double as a partition and can have the benefit of attaching a variety of photos, notes or perhaps even some inspirational motivational quote to keep you focused on the work you need to get done.
If you decide on a full blown glass screen, you first have to ask yourself if you need half screens or full screens. If you intend to separate your work space from your living space at home, you’ll need to consider how large you want the partition to be and whether it will be a permanent or removable fixture.
Once everything has been decided, the next step is to create a frame for your partition. To create a basic frame, all you’ll need is about five pieces of wood. Now securely connect four of the pieces of wood together to create a square shape and then place your fifth piece of wood horizontally on the square. This will create a sturdy frame to which you can attach a glass frame to both sides.
From there you need to lay down the glass and then secure the partition to the floor or wall. You can do this by drilling the screws diagonally through the wood frame into a wall or floor. Make sure the partition is secured, otherwise you might collapse if you bump into it.
Congratulations, you’ve managed to make your own partition!
