Planted Office Displays for Different Environmental Conditions
Author:
• Monday, December 12th, 2011

When considering which office plant displays you want to use throughout your business it is important to think about the environmental conditions within the chosen areas. Office plants will only do well if they are kept in conditions that are suitable in both light and temperature, therefore getting it right, or indeed wrong can dramatically affect whether or not they survive.

 

Many offices and businesses are closed during weekends but any office plant displays inside those premises need to be able to survive during these periods, therefore acceptable climate levels need to be maintained 24/7 in order for office plants to flourish. Conditions during the winter months may also cause problems, as not only do temperatures drop, but light levels may also become much darker. Office plants that can tolerate lower environmental levels may be advantageous if constant temperatures and luminance cannot be maintained.

 

It must be remembered however that some plants are incredibly tolerant to changes in light and can adapt between the light levels found outdoors to those indoors. The level of light a plant needs to survive is based on Lux, which essentially is the amount of light, or luminance it needs to survive. For instance, a tree that might normally be found outdoors or in a field may normally require 40,000 Lux may well adapt to tolerate as little as 1500 Lux when moved indoors.

 

There are many different types of businesses, all with their own environmental conditions. So whether you are looking for office plants for atria or large open spaces such as a showroom, narrow and dimly lit corridors, a shopping centre, a regular office building or even a swimming pool it is important to understand which plants or office plant display will be best suited to these incredibly different environments

]]>

 

When choosing office plants for an atrium or other large open areas it is important to ensure that there are sufficient levels of light. It is a common misconception that all atria are light and airy spaces, which is not necessarily the case. In many cases, the many roof beams and walls absorb a lot of the incoming light therefore a lot of unnatural lights may be needed to keep the area bright. Temperature is another point for consideration too. Seasonal changes as well as variations between day and night play a part in any office plant choice.

 

Office Buildings are probably one of the most popular areas for planted office displays. Obviously, in these areas constant light and temperature levels need to be maintained in order for humans to survive therefore correct plant choices are essential. Some office environments have luminance issues especially where artificial light is relied on. In these instances, extra lighting or perhaps even artificial plants may be the solution.

 

Planting in shopping centres can often lead to office plants suffering because of the dry air lacking humidity. This provides an ideal environment for both insects and diseases, which can be harmful to office planted displays. Another problem with shopping centres is that they can quite often lack suitable Lux levels for the wellbeing of plants; therefore, additional lighting may well be needed.

 

Show Rooms often consist of large open spaces, which are needed to showcase the product range in question. Fronted by large glass windows, showrooms can tend to suffer from high temperatures and unless the windows are tinted, high luminance levels. During working hours, air conditioning devices may regulate the temperature but when not in use, office plants may suffer from large changes in temperature, for instance, a showroom will retain heat and therefore be hot during summer months but will seem very cold during winter.

 

Swimming Pools, with their high humidity levels may seem ideal when it comes to planted displays. However, when you take into consideration chemicals such as chlorine and standing water in the planted displays, it is easy to see why in many cases, artificial plants and displays are favoured.

 

One universal factor across all of these areas is that modern innovations in artificial plants have led to them becoming a real alternative to live office planted displays. Technological advancements in the look and feel of artificial plants have dramatically enhanced their appeal to a wider audience and are gaining in popularity.

 

In conclusion, live-planted office displays offer a multitude of health and visual benefits to both customers and workforce alike. However, in sectors or areas where live plants are simply not a viable option, artificial plants may well provide the answer.

Choose the best Office Furniture Design in 3 easy steps
Author:
• Sunday, December 04th, 2011

There are various websites which offer office furniture designs all over the world. But have you ever thought how to choose the best office furniture design available online? Following are some guidelines which will help you figure out how to choose best furniture designs for your office:

 


Be specific about what you need to buy – Don’t just waste your time browsing eye catching images.

 

With numerous of office furniture websites, I would personally recommend you to first decide upon what exactly you would want to buy for your office. Lets say you want to buy <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/1393128']);” href=”http://www.officefurnitureindia.com/Office-Storage-Racks.php”>Office Storage Racks</a> for your office. Then you must search specifically for Office Storage Racks rather than searching for Office Furniture. The reason being that when you would search for Office Furniture, you would also get results for Office Chairs, Office Bookshelves, Office Almirahs, Office Cabinets, Office Lockers etc. which is not your focus right now. So be specific whenever you search for a keyword. You don’t want to spend your time viewing good pictures of <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/1393128']);” href=” http://www.officefurnitureindia.com/Office-Lockers-Cabinets.php”>office lockers and cabinets </a> when you don’t want to buy them.

 


Checkout multiple websites for good bargains.

 

While choosing furniture online, you must checkout at least 10 websites and see what all products they have to offer. All the websites must be different in designs but they would offer more or less similar products. Its very important to choose your design and then compare it on different websites for product features and maintenance features. Checking out other websites might also help you to discover some special offers which might not be available on a single website.

 


Don’t hesitate in requesting a quote.

 

Often online visitors don’t request for a price quote. I think this is high time that they should understand that not all products which are sold online have a price tag attached with them. It is perfectly normal and often suggested for an online customer to ask for a price quote and a good bargain on a price that the seller is offering. It just takes less than 30 seconds to fill a small contact/request quote form and ask for a good bargain on the price. Alternately, it doesn’t even take 5 seconds to make a call to the vendor and negotiate on the prices. So if you need a good bargain on a product, do fill that small form and/or negotiate with the vendor.

 

I am sure all the aforesaid points will help you choose the right furniture for your office.

Improve Office Morale and Productivity with Indoor Plant Hire
Author:
• Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Running a business can often be demanding and providing the right ambiance for your staff can play a crucial part to your eventual success. It is a given that maintaining a high morale amongst employees is one way to boost chances for success. Recent studies have shown that the use of office plants has proven benefits when it comes to improving morale and productivity within the workforce. Indoor plants provide aesthetic value while improving air quality and reducing stress thereby maximizing business profits.

Hiring indoor plants brings additional benefits. An indoor plant specialist will be able to give sound advice regarding the types of plants that would best complement the environment in the workplace. There are basically three types of indoor plant hires – low light, moderate light and high light plants. As the names suggest the type of plant is highly dependent on the office’s lighting. For instance, those belonging to the low light plant hire category are excellent for dark areas and for corners of small offices or meeting rooms.

Among the plants that belong to the low light category are the Cordatum, Devil’s Ivy, Peace Lilly, Philodendron Panda, Snake Plant, Umbrella Tree, and the ZZ Plant. In case of moderate lightning, the indoor plants that can be used include the Bamboo Palm, Gold Dust Dracaena, Happy Plant, Kentia Palm, Philo Xanadu, or the Lady Palm. Finally, for high light environments, the plants that are normally used include the Century plant, Golden Cane Palm, Ponytail Palm, Ficus Sabre, and the Yucca.

Another benefit of hiring indoor plants is that there is an assurance that the plants will constantly be well maintained. Most leading specialists in indoor plant hire usually have a well trained crew who will regularly attend to the plants and ensure that they are kept healthy. This is particularly important as researchers found out that indoor plants in poor health have a detrimental effect on morale and productivity.

In terms of the aesthetics and the design of your offices, hiring indoor plants can be very constructive. In fact, a study by Engelbert Kötter in collaboration with the Bavarian State Ministry of Nourishment, Agriculture and Forestry, found that plants in offices enhanced employees’ perception of well-being and improved the comfort factor of the offices. The finding only proves that people tend to react positively to plants and perceive the use of indoor plants as a sign of success.

Nowadays, offices are constructed to be effective energy saving spaces. This presents a problem because modern buildings are increasingly becoming so well sealed in an attempt to keep the elements out while retaining indoor pollutants. A number of businesses tried to solve the problem by investing on expensive air conditioning and ventilation systems. However, indoor plants are much cheaper and can be strategically placed without any structural changes to the office.

Finally, hiring indoor plants will enable key personnel to deal with more pressing issues as they know that the plants are well cared for and helping them keep their employees motivated. It is therefore fitting to invest in indoor plant hire services since it is well worth the money due to potential benefits that can be acquired from hiring indoor plants
