Custom Glass Office Doors: The Upgrade Your Office Is Missing
The modern office was changed forever when Covid struck almost 18 months ago. As millions of workers transitioned from working on-site to in the comfort of their homes. In fact, prior to the pandemic, only about 20% of the workforce operated in-home whereas today it is a staggering 71%. Given this shift in the workforce, we have seen increased demand and inquiries for custom glass, steel, and iron doors. For so many reasons these doors solve major problems created from this shift. This article serves to share why so many people have shopped for this interior door upgrade.
Custom Office Interior Doors Makes Work-From-Home Easier
One of the largest problems we hear repeatedly is the issues created from a work-from-home atmosphere. From kids staying at home to noisy neighbors or roommates, to even our live-in pets it’s understandable to imagine that noise and privacy have been compromised in our workforce shift. Compile this obvious fact with the reality that few home builders today install any type of door that eliminates or greatly reduces exterior sound. Furthermore, if you live in a home not built with an office you have likely opted to convert an extra bedroom or create a workspace in an unused den. Our interior custom doors and style systems can be the perfect solution for many of these problems!
