Businesses are always looking for the next big thing to improve efficiency in the workplace. Whether it's an open concept style office plan or shared workspaces, most companies believe that little tweaks to their operations can result in major benefits down the road.

One of the styles that have come into vogue recently is placing large interior windows in place of walls. This is most common around conference rooms and single-occupancy offices as they promote transparency (pun intended). They create an environment where people are encouraged to work together and enjoy collaboration. Below are a few reasons why you should consider using interior glass walls for your next commercial glass installation.

They Look Amazing

For starters, interior glass just looks and feels so much better than walls. Many offices have chosen to incorporate a frosted glass look to areas that they want to keep more private, while others leave all the windows see-through in order to take advantage of natural light. These concepts can take a dark, dreary office space and promote a more productive workplace, making them a favorite for people needing a change in their commercial glass installation.

They Encourage Communication

Most employees feel comfortable behind walls because they promote a sense of privacy, but the opposite is true for people who want to communicate with them. They may not know if the person is busy on a call, hard at work on a specific project, or free to converse for a few minutes. Glass walls allow people to talk more freely as they're able to tell more easily what times are appropriate. They also create a heightened sense of teamwork, as people can see their coworkers easier and feel more like they are all under the same roof.

They Increase Resale Value

One of the biggest costs associated with buying a new piece of commercial real estate is having to retrofit it to your purpose. Companies spend thousands of dollars tearing down walls, adding facilities, or creating new spaces to take advantage of the space. With interior glass walls, those spaces can be redesigned at the drop of a hat, allowing businesses to sell buildings easier. Though the cost of using windows for your commercial glass installation may be higher initially, most businesses make some of that money back in the sale of the building, since they don't have to include as many renovation costs into the sale price.
