Office partitions are a cost effective way to create office space within a larger area without the need for costly restructuring. If you need a space to hold meetings, complete paperwork or for your staff to relax then a partition can be the perfect solution to your problems.
In order to foster the growth of their business, many organisations will choose to uproot their business and move elsewhere, feeling that they have outgrown their current premises. What they don’t realise is that there are many ways in which you can expand the capacity of your current operations base without the expensive ordeal of relocation.
As well as other storage solutions, like shelving, racking and mezzanine floors – office partitions can provide you with a logical way to stylishly improve your existing workspace.
Partitions can be constructed in a variety of ways and can include both sound proofing and fire proofing, dependent on your requirements. They can be colour coded to match corporate branding and can include frameless glass or coloured blinds.
It might be that you require a space to do paperwork in which case a sound proofed partition can give you the distraction free space you require, or perhaps your staff need somewhere to eat their lunches in peace.
A secluded area is also sometimes needed for client meetings. You may need a space that is quiet, relaxing and shows your business in its best, most professional light. A partition adorned with your company colours can offer a touch of sophistication to a busy work area.
Based in the Midlands, Logical Storage Solutions create solutions for businesses with an emphasis focussed on quality, attention to detail and customer satisfaction.

If your office or work environment has seen better days then it might be time to think about a refurbishment. By improving the space that you and your team work in, you could increase productivity, motivate your staff and create a long lasting impression with your clients and prospects.
If your office area, shop floor or other workspace is cluttered and messy then it can be difficult for workers to perform to the best of their abilities and having a disorganised work space can be off putting to clients. If you want to make the most of your space, organising your inventory is a good start but how else can you improve your operation?
Mezzanine floors
If you have a high ceiling then you could use mezzanine flooring to utilize space that might currently be wasted. In a warehouse situation, this would enable a more even spread of stock throughout your warehouse and may also help to speed up your operations. If you run a retail business then a mezzanine floor could allow you to hold more stock on the shop floor and maximise potential profit.
Office partitions
If you work in an open plan area, the installation of an office partition can make a great addition to your layout, especially if you are in need of a space to hold meetings with clients or a staff room for your workers to relax. You can also consider soundproofing, which would help eliminate any external noise from a busy warehouse and ensure that your meetings remain confidential. Racking systems may also be beneficial to certain kinds of businesses.

Businesses up and down the country are struggling with a big problem: space. As the economy has come out of recession and has been slowly growing and heading back towards the level they were at before the economic crash, businesses are facing a dilemma. They are doing more trade as the economy improves, and so want to expand, but the recovery isn’t strong enough for businesses to feel they can take a risk on new premises. So what should they do?
To grow with the economy and not get left behind, they need more space. But to move to bigger premises at such a delicate time would be for many businesses a leap of faith too far. Fortunately, there are lots of ways businesses can capitalise on their existing space to make sure they use every inch of what they already have, allowing them to grow without having to move. Here are five key ways:
- Consider a mezzanine floor. If your warehouse, offices, retail store or any other commercial building has lots of space above the ground floor, then it is currently being wasted. A mezzanine floor could double the amount of space you have for selling products, storing products, distribution or could even be used for offices.
- Make sure you are using the most efficient type and size of racking and shelving for your business needs – discuss the options with professionals to make sure the storage you have is right for you.
- Repair any damaged shelves or racking. If you have racking which cannot be used because it is unsafe then it is a waste of resources. Get it repaired or replaced.
- Have regular racking inspections to prevent any future problems before it’s too late.
- Use office partitions and space planning to make the best use of your office space, so that way you can fit more people into the space and work in a more efficient and effective manner.
Here at Logical Storage, we know that no two businesses are the same, and may need to consider one, all, or a combination of some of these solutions to help create more space for their company to flourish. Give us a call on 0845 689 1300 to see how we can help you.
Whether it’s a setting for your employees to work hard on their daily tasks or an area for your clients and customers to visit, the layout of your office can be incredibly important.
Clients, customers and prospects will not be impressed by somewhere that is dark, dingy, badly lit, cluttered, and altogether unwelcoming. Chances are that they will feel that a badly laid out office is a reflection of the standard of your work. They will most probably be right. And with employees spending around eight hours a day in the office, this dark and cluttered environment will make for rather a depressing place to work, which will most likely be reflected in their productivity.
A bright, well lit and well laid out office, with a modern looking interior will make your employees feel happier at work. It will make your staff feel valued and inspired to work in your offices. If your office is laid out well it will be easier for them to find their way around, and makes work more efficient and productive.
Improving your office layout is probably quicker, easier and cheaper than you think. Logical Storage have experienced space planners who can help you to get the most out of your existing offices without having to move premises. There are a wide range of office partition systems available which include bespoke doors, frames, ironmongery, manifestation to glass partitions, and integrated or stand alone window blinds. They are incredibly flexible, and can be installed and moved quickly and easily, with minimum disruption to your business.
A well laid out, friendly, modern looking, welcoming office can therefore have a big impact on your staff and your clients, and can make your business more efficient and more productive.

For many businesses, space is incredibly valuable. Many of us need more of it, yet we don’t want to take the step of moving to bigger premises in times of economic uncertainty. Therefore, the logical alternative is to utilise the space we already have in the best way possible. Logical Storage can help with this in a number of ways.
One major option would be for us to design and install a mezzanine floor in your warehouse or building, if you have the space for it. This option can double your floor space, allowing you to use the wasted space in your building for offices, storage, retail, production or other uses.
Alternatively, we can look at the type of racking you are using for storage, and assess whether there is a type of racking that is more suited to your needs that you might not know about. You may find that your racking could go higher, or the space between it could be narrower, thus allowing you more storage space. There is a wide range of different types of racking available, such as wide aisle racking, very narrow aisle racking, drive-in racking, cantilever racking and dynamic push back racking. As well as racking, we also have a wide range of shelving.
You might also be losing storage space because the racking that you do have is damaged and not in a fit state to be used. We can make sure that your racking is functioning at optimum efficiency, carry out repairs to damaged racking to ensure it is fit for purpose, and can conduct Preventative Maintenance to make sure that you can continue to use all of the storage space you have available to you.
Out of the warehouse, you may feel that you need more office space, perhaps on your new mezzanine floor. We have experienced space planners that can help you to get the very best out of your office design, with a wide range of partitions.
So, there are lots of different methods that we can employ to make sure you’re using the space you currently have to maximum efficiency. To discuss these options further, please give us a call on 0845 689 1300.
Logical Storage Solutions was formed in 2011 by an industry professional with many years of experience in the storage industry, and provides a number of services to businesses, with a particular focus on warehouses. We aim to be a “one stop shop” providing all the solutions to your storage, workspace and maintenance needs. We can offer a full warehouse fit out and refurbishment, or just specific services depending on the needs of your business.
A key part of Logical Storage’s business is providing a fit out service for warehouses. This includes installing the most appropriate type of racking systems or shelving systems for a warehouse to suit a business’s needs. Logical Storage uses a wide range of different pallet racking systems in warehouses, which includes wide aisle, narrow aisle, double deep, drive through, dynamic push back, dynamic pallet flow, mobile and shuttle. We also offer different types of shelving, including carbon flow, office, industrial, longspan and mobile. We will be profiling some of these in future blogposts, but the key point is that every business is different and has different storage needs, and these different types of racking and shelving systems provide solutions for a wide range of different needs.
Once you have the most appropriate racking solution for your business installed, it is vital that it receives regular annual inspections and maintenance. If not, companies and organisations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 because of a gross breach of a duty of care. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) demands that work equipment such as warehouse racking must meet relevant standards. What may appear as minor damage could reduce the load bearing capacity of your racking by up to 40%, exposing your workers to great risk. This is why Logical Storage offers rack inspections and a full racking repair service, to ensure that companies meet their Health & Safety obligations, protecting themselves from the law and their employees from danger. With our online shop offering everything from stepladders to storage bins, you’ll find everything you need on our site for your warehouse storage needs.
Logical Storage also designs and installs mezzanine floors, creating a huge amount of extra space for businesses, whether that is for offices, retail, production space or storage space. Often in a warehouse there is a huge amount of wasted space above the warehouse floor. Installing a mezzanine floor allows a business to double its floor space without having to extend the building or move premises.
Finally, your warehouse probably doesn’t just consist of storage space, but is also likely to contain offices. We offer a full office partition service, including space planning, to allow you to get the very best out of your office space.
If you think we can help you, please get in touch today!
Logical Storage offer many services to help you with your storage needs. Here’s a look at some of the main solutions we offer.
Mezzanine Flooring
The mezzanine floor is a flooring level that is installed within an area to make use of the wasted space above you within a warehouse or retail store. Sometimes extending a building outwards is not an option due to land or budget restrictions. Mezzanine flooring is a cheaper alternative that will create a new floor level within your existing premises. There are many instances where this could be useful such as storage in a warehouse or offices within retail buildings. Since adding in a mezzanine level is also very flexible, you can have complete control on its size, design and location.
An Office Partition
If your company is based within an open plan office but you require some quieter areas such as for a meeting room or managers office, an office partition is an ideal solution. Either glass or normal walls can be used depending on your privacy requirements. Partitions can be created that are permanent as well as temporary structures where the partition may need to be moved.
Warehouse Refurbishment
Running a large warehouse or industrial property can be hard work so a complete warehouse refurbishment could help you in organising and maintaining your premises. A refurbishment could involve dismantling current structures, moving them or adding to them with new racking systems.
There are several reasons why a company has requirements for an office partition. One of these is the benefit of sound proofing or noise control within the office. Offices that have HR departments based within the main office would need sound proofing for confidential reasons. Meetings associated with staff as well as phone calls need to be conducted in the strictest confidence.
The other reason for sound proofing is that you may have office machinery that is running throughout the day. This can get noisy, especially if you have printers running. Even if they are in a separate space, they can be noisy and distracting for employees.
Meeting rooms are also important to be sound proofed.Often meetings might be internal or external with customers or potential clients. If you are holding a meeting on office premises, there is nothing worse than external guests able to hear the day to day office conversations and noise. It can be distracting for the guest, but also from a confidential perspective.
Kitchens are also another room which ideally needs to be separate from the office. In situations where this is not always an option, the noise from a kitchen can be distracting as often it includes kettles boiling, washing up and the general noise from plates and cups being used. Office partitions with sound proofing within them, or as additional partitions would reduce background noise and contribute towards a better working environment.
There are many different work environments that people spend their day working in; from a construction site, to driving a bus and from a supermarket checkout to at a desk in an office. The office is a common workplace for millions of people but even the office can come in a diverse range of environments.
Some offices consist of a number of different rooms linked by corridors. Staff may not have much interaction between rooms but if they are located in an office with their team then this isn’t a problem. The mangers of the company can also have their privacy in their own offices. The opposite of this is an open planned office which will have all employees in the same large sized room. This is a great working environment for when ideas need to be shared between people and communication is often required. This kind of office environment can be a problem though if privacy is required.
A solution to this problem could be to use an office partition to divide the room up into different areas and have different departments within a larger floor space. This can be taking even further and an office partition can be used to create completely spate rooms within the space. This is a great way to have management offices and meeting rooms.
If you have an open plan office then it can help with work atmosphere and creativity as people are allowed to talk, discuss and contribute ideas openly throughout the working day. This is very beneficial for industries where the discussion of ideas and interaction between different departments happens during the day. A good example of this is a web design agency. There may be different departments to the agency, for example the design department responsible for the look and appearance of the website, the development team who do the building and coding of a site and the SEO team who work to get the site ranking within Google. Since all these elements have to come together to form one website, it makes sense for an open office as this allows the teams to talk easily and openly.
