What To Know About Office Screens
Office screens are available in many guises. They can provide a practical solution for separating today’s open plan offices. Modern office screens are an attractive and inexpensive way to offer privacy for both group working areas and for the individual employee.
There are various shaped desk mounted screens including straight, curved or wave panels. They may be finished with a fabric covering in a choice of colours and complementing trim of either metal or PVC, with or without a ‘pinnable’ surface.
Glass or polycarbonate panels in a choice of finish are also available.
Floor Standing Screens – offer a range of options including:
Straight or curved panels, fabric covered, part glazed or of polycarbonate construction, with or without a ‘pinnable’ surface, mounted safely on purpose built, stabilising feet. They may be used to direct the flow of office traffic or the queuing public when placed next to each other, either in a straight line or curved to suit.
General office noise and machine generated noise may be reduced by using floor standing Acoustic Screens which have proven sound reduction incorporated within their construction by the application of an insulated central core. These are available in a selection of fabric colour ways and complementing trims. They may be used singularly or in multiples when joined with hinges in a variety of layouts
Selecting the correct screen height can reduce glare from ceiling lighting or sunlight proving beneficial to all users.
A range of practical accessories such as hinges, stabilising feet and multi-way hinges are available to help facilitate many different office layouts

WOODEN IT BE LOVELY?… CLIENT: ErgoFurn – a leading QLD manufacturer of commercial furniture, seating and office screens, offering custom designs as well as an express stock range. PROBLEM: Take apart any typical office work station or boardroom cupboard and you’ll find yourself with a pile of wood panels in groups of similar sizes & thicknesses, and with various patterns of drilled holes. It’s a crucial need for each panel to be accurately drilled – securing the flush joins between panels that give the final unit its strength and quality in workmanship and appearance. Despite a skills shortage reducing the availability of cabinet makers, the industry has continued to grow and achieve greater efficiency through automation. You don’t need to be IKEA* before you’re producing enough units to make automation viable. To produce a reasonable quantity of completed furniture units (say twenty desk stations) it’s quickly apparent that this will require an exponential amount of operator and machining time. CNC machines such as the SKIPPER 100 from Biesse have delivered substantial time savings while assuring accuracy in drilling, while other such machines can even include gluing, dowel insertion and more in the same process. This reduces errors and strain on the operator while improving quality and consistency in the final unit. However, there is still a need for each panel to be carefully picked, loaded onto the machine, which then needs to be activated, then panel unloaded again …
