Office lockers, what advantages do they offer?

By Architecture, Construction, Decoration No Comments

New trends and formats in workplace design have embraced and revalued the idea of office lockers. The idea behind their use is to have places to store and remove from sight papers, documents and work material used on a regular basis. This is the case of the open-space offices. This model proposes an office design with very flexible open spaces, which offer different areas for meetings or interaction according to the needs of each moment and totally replace the traditional private or individual workspaces. Here, office lockers play a key role as storage spaces. For example, it is common for workstations to be used by different people who cannot leave their papers and personal belongings strewn around when they go home. This is when lockers provide a convenient storage space. But even in more classically-structured offices, a clean desk guideline may well be in place, requiring the desk to be left completely clear at the end of each working day. This ensures document confidentiality while facilitating cleaning chores and improving the company’s image. In all these cases, the phenolic lockers are one of the best available options. They are tough and resistant to impact, scratches and daily use by different people. They also have a low-porosity surface that is non-corrosive, anti-bacterial, easy to clean and disinfect, and they are resistant to fire and humidity. The Spigocompac catalogue offers different models with red, black, yellow, white, grey, green or blue finishes, but they can also be made to measure according to client requirements.

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration No Comments

Acoustic ceilings with woo slats are the most technical evolution of solid wood slat ceilings; so widely used in office decoration. They can be found in banks, real estate agencies, insurance companies or at the headquarters of any company. The purpose is always the same: to transmit warmth, confidence and proximity, with modern, clean, bright designs in open spaces, while maintaining good acoustics. The first step to achieve this goal is to make a good selection of materials. At this point, wood always comes ahead. It is warm and versatile in terms of finishes and formats and, being an easily-recyclable, natural material, it conveys the idea that we are environmentally friendly. Here we bring you a good example of the use of acoustic ceilings made with wood slats. This is the work carried out in the offices of the Canary Islands financial institution Cajasiete, in Tenerife, by architect Alicia Pérez Ojeda, of ABpro Arquitectos. The aim was to introduce an element to ensure good acoustics within a design where wood predominates. Some 30 m² of Spigoline T-4_20_90_130 wood strip cladding were installed. This model has a panel size of 2.400×600 mm and a slat section of 20×90 mm, with a separation between wood slats of 130 mm. They chose an oak stained obeche wood finish with a black painted top panel, to which a B-s2,d0 fireproof varnish was applied.   DESCARGAR FICHA MODELO DOWNLOAD SPIGOLINE GRID 5-15-35-55 MODEL SHEET       If you liked this post about acoustic ceilings with wood slats, you may also be interested in:   – Wood ceilings for bank offices: the case of Caja Rural de Navarra – 5 reasons to choose false wood ceiling tiles – Sizes for solid wood slats used in ceiling and wall cladding – 4 Decorating trends for 2022

In addition, it is not an item that is kept out of sight. On the contrary, it is located on walls and ceilings, often occupying a large part of their surface, so it also fulfils an aesthetic role. These are some of the characteristics of good wood acoustic panels that you should consider before selecting one for your acoustical conditioning project:   Sound absorption: Technical specifications should clearly indicate the degree of sound absorption provided so that you can check what you need to ensure the best acoustics. Aesthetic choices and quality perception: choose a brand of acoustic panels, such as Spigotec or Spigoacustic, that offer multiple finishes, whether in natural wood, melamine, lacquer or HPL finishes. It has to be good quality and show it. Easily assembled: it should feature a simple, reliable mounting system. Check with your installer. Good mounting systems, such as the profiles or battens offered by the Spigotec and Spigoacustic brands, save you money and aggravation.
