Back to the office? Combine a corona-proof workplace with good acoustics

We will be going back to the office more and more in the coming period. A number of work trends, such as location-independent working (often working from home), have gained momentum due to corona, which is why many offices will permanently change their design and function. Office occupancy will be different and many offices will need adjustments to allow employees to work safely in the office. These necessary adjustments are a good opportunity to also address workplace acoustics.

A comfortable and corona-proof office
Plexiglas and/or tempered glass are widely used when making offices corona-proof. These are (hard) materials that are very suitable for making your office corona-proof, but which certainly do not improve acoustics. For this reason, we recommend opting for a combination of acoustic materials and (plexi) glass. This is how you create a safe workplace with a pleasant atmosphere.

Many benefits
Combining acoustic materials and (plexi) glass provides extra peace, well-being and comfort in the workplace. Customization is possible and the systems are flexible and portable. The materials have a long lifespan and remain functional, even after the corona crisis.

Signing also possible
The panels can be provided with upholstery fabric or prints. These can be decorative or contribute to the branding of your office. These prints can also be used for signing. This way, you can make sure that everyone chooses the right (safe) route in a nice way.

Modular stay safe system
With the modular system for Akoesta's stay safe security screens, this is a piece of cake. With this, we create customized solutions for complete workplaces. This includes desk screens, counter screens, partitions and room dividers, combined with our other Stay Safe solutions such as signage, signing, dispensers and door handle hooks.

The corona crisis means that we have to be smart about the design of workplaces. Installing acoustic materials at the same time is the perfect opportunity here, with all the benefits that this entails.
