Cubicle Panels

There are many manufacturers of cubicles and office panel systems.  Sometimes the choices are so varied that it is difficult to decide which system is right for your office.  If you have a large open space that will require you to put many cubicles in one area,  noise might be one of the concerns you and your employees may have.  Cubicle panel configuration certainly plays a part in the noise of the office, but not as big a role as you might think.

Cubicle panels are a consideration when designing a quality office space.  The height of your office panel systems and the size of your cubicles can have an effect on the noise in your office.  Some companies advertise acoustical panels which claim to play a large part in controlling noise in the office.   In fact, these panels, which are costly, are not the best way to control noise in your office. 

Sound Masking has been proven to have a marked effect on the noise levels in the office.  Covering up noise with an electronic sound masking system works well in every environment.  There are several systems on the market today, ranging from $1-$2.50 per square foot.  All of the sound masking systems available today improve workplace acoustics by adding an ambient background sound, most closely compared to air flow,  to mask unwanted sounds.

Most people who work in an environment with sound masking don’t even notice that the system is operating; until it’s turned off.  If the system is off, every noise from the telephone conversation three cubicles away to the phones ringing becomes immediately apparent. 

The trend in offices today is lower cubicle panels, and open environments.  At Cube Solutions, we want to help you create the best office environment possible.  We don’t sell sound masking but we think it’s a better investment than buying special cubicle panels.  So if you have a need, give us a call.  We may have some ideas that will surprise you.
