Offices and classrooms are often set up in an open format that allows everyone to see and hear everything that is happening. That’s not always a bad thing, but, certain activities are better done in a semi-private setting. From testing students to training employees and dealing with clients, there are many reasons to consider temporary walls for cubicles. Here are five reasons to consider installing cubicle panel mount extenders for your students or employees.

1. Individual Spaces – Although there are many times when group-work and collaboration are beneficial, that isn’t always the case. Special projects in the office or testing in schools require a quiet, individual space to work. By using cubicle panel mount extenders, small, semi-private offices can be created in just a couple of minutes.
2. Sound Absorption – Telephones ringing, conversations being had and typing can all be extremely distracting, especially when combined. It may not always be possible for employees or students to use headphones or other means to block out the noise. Cubicle panel mount extenders with sound-deadening fabrics all but eliminate ambient noises and help create quiet areas for study and employees to work.
3. Ease Of Installation – It literally takes less than five minutes to install cubicle panel mounts and it only requires a small allen wrench to get the job done. That means you won’t have to call in a carpenter to make sure the installation is done correctly. It also means that there are no lengthy disruptions during classes or working hours.
4. Easily Changed – Perhaps your students or staff only need the added privacy for a short time. These types of panels are just as easy to remove as they are to install. This is excellent news should you decide to change the overall look of the space as well. Additionally, there are several fabric and polycarbonate options that will suit your needs.
5. Cost-Effective – While it may be tempting to order new furniture that will accommodate your needs, it’s not always possible. For most businesses and schools, finding room in the budget to upgrade the furniture is impossible. Rather than purchasing all new cubicles, simply adding to your existing furniture is a much more cost-effective and eco-friendly choice.

Modesty panels allow you to transform your workplace. Panels can be added to create a separation between desks and provide each employee with their own space. Adding modesty panels to a workplace can be an alternative to cubicles and transform an open space into a workplace with a spot for each employee.

Modesty panels can be added on top of existing panels or placed on a desk or table to create separate spaces. Panels come in a wide variety of colors and materials. Adding modesty panels to your workplace does not have to make things dull since you can choose panels with lively colors or prints.

Investing in panels allows for more flexibility than installing cubicles in your workplace. Modesty panels can be easily removed and re-arranged as your needs change. Investing in sturdy panels is definitely worth it since these items will last for years as you re-arrange your workplace.

The main advantage of modesty panels is to provide employees with more privacy. People will probably feel more comfortable and relaxed at work if they do not get the feeling that their desk and activities are visible to everyone.

Providing employees with their own workstation isolated with modesty panels will help them concentrate. Productivity should go up if employees are not tempted to keep an eye on what someone else is doing. Modesty panels are also an excellent way to reduce the noise levels employees are exposed to.

Giving each employee their own work space should help them stay organized. They will consider their work station as their own space and develop their own system to organize documents and items.

Modesty panels are a great place to pin important papers and reminders. They also provide employees with a space where they can pin family pictures and other personal items. This is a great way to help employees feel more at home without giving them their own cubicle or office.
