Refurbish Top Cubicle Brands – San Diego Style

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Aqua cubeAre you scoping out refurbished cubicles? It makes sense to select top names like Herman Miller or Steelcase. Why? High quality structural components (and a full warranty) are always assured with these well known cubicle brands. San Diego business owners need cubes that can take the daily wear and tear of a busy office environment.

Of course, the way your office furnishings look is important too. You want to create a workplace aesthetic that diverges from the typical boring cube environment. Fortunately, the refurbishing process involves selecting a whole new look (paint, fabric, etc). Here are a few ideas to consider for a colorful California style motif.

White – White brightens up the work area by reflecting light. It also offers the perfect backdrop for decorative accents. Consider this color for upper panels and other areas where the material isn’t likely to get smudged.

Mango – This up and coming golden, pinkish, orange color is difficult to describe. Blocks of this tropical hue scattered throughout the workplace keep things visually interesting.

Sea Foam Green or Aqua – Pair these colors with sandy beige for a beachside feel. Don’t forget that textures and patterns are another way to add interest to cubicle panel fabrics.

Plum – Here’s another rich fruit color you can try. Combine plum with wood or metal finishes for a sophisticated look.

Refurbished Cubicles – San Diego Clients Get Custom Options

Refurbished CubiclesThe popularity of refurbished cubicles is rising as businesses continue to look for affordable ways to furnish their work environments. Office furniture suppliers are rising to meet this demand with remanufactured items that look and function like new. Some vendors, like ROF in Florida, make this process extra gentle on the environment by using fabrics like Terratex – a textile made from 100% recycled soft drink bottles and corn.

However, not all companies offer their clients everything they really need when it comes to refurbished cubicles. San Diego Office Furniture customers are fortunate to get more than just great discounts when it comes to buying remanufactured workspaces. Rather than simply choosing from an existing stock of refurbished items, you get involved early in the process by selecting the laminates, fabrics, and paint. That way, you receive fully customized furniture at a deeply discounted price. However, there is one thing that doesn’t change along with the color of your cubicles – the warranty. It’s still the same as if you just bought the furniture brand new!

Ventilate Your Cubicles: Vista Climate Offers Fresh Air for Worker Health

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to pop open the windows at work? It sure would be nice to let a breath of fresh air waft through the office and along the rows of cubicles. Vista, California is actually not a bad place to try this. With daytime temps averaging between 68 and 84 degrees, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a balmy breeze.

Higher insulation requirements implemented in the 1970s and a simultaneous reduction in ventilation standards are closely linked to the current epidemic of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Unacceptably high levels of pollutants accumulate in many office buildings causing headaches, allergic reactions, fatigue, and lots of other problems.

You need to balance your energy costs against the health and comfort of your workers. Cutting the A/C on moderate days in favor of open windows is one way to reduce your electric bill. Continue running the system on ‘fan only’ mode to increase air circulation and reduce the incidence of SBS symptoms. It’s a win/win situation.

How to Make This Work

Directing outside airflow into your office space effectively has a lot to do with how you arrange the furniture. Keep areas around windows clear of obstructions. Angle the open side of each cubicle slightly toward the incoming breeze. Once employees get used to natural variations in temperature throughout the day, they will enjoy not having to breathe stale air all the time.

To keep things from getting out of hand when the wind picks up, add paperweights to your office cubicles. Vista does have some high pollution days, so keep an eye on the forecast. Close the windows when there is an ozone alert. Finally, install sturdy screens so your open windows don’t create a safety or security hazard.
