Elevating BlueFloat Energy’s Edinburgh office space with our high-performance glass partitions
BlueFloat Energy, a pioneering offshore wind technology developer, has recently unveiled its vibrant and contemporary office space in Lochrin Square, Edinburgh. Working alongside architect Form Design Edinburgh and main contractor AKP East Kilbride, we created a colourful, serene and ergonomic working environment that puts the needs of BlueFloat’s employees first. Our glass partitions and door solutions played a pivotal role in transforming the office into a dynamic, sophisticated, and employee-centric environment that reflects BlueFloat’s values and culture. Delivering outstanding acoustics with innovative Glass Partitioning Solutions The office design features a striking combination of our high-performance, low-carbon glass partitioning solutions, creating a space that captures the essence of BlueFloat’s commitment to innovation, employee well-being and sustainability. Revolution 100 double glazed partitions were installed throughout BlueFloat’s new Edinburgh office. This acoustic glass partition creates a selection of private offices and large meeting rooms which seamlessly lead off from the central communal office spaces. This high-performance, low-carbon acoustic glass partitioning solution allows for private meetings, solo work or collaborative brainstorming sessions to thrive without disruption from busy inner office noise. Achieving up to Rw52dB with one layer of 12.8mm and one layer of 16.8mm acoustic laminate glass, Revolution 100 provides the ideal acoustic solution for BlueFloat. As a result, Revolution 100 offers the ideal system to provide outstanding acoustic performance for a comfortable and productive working environment. Adding design flair and performance with Optima 117 Curved glass partition solutions Offering an additional design flair, Optima 117 Plus curved glass partitions add a unique and exquisite design feature to the office. This seamless integration contributes to the ergonomic design of the office, enhancing the overall visual appeal and reflecting BlueFloat’s commitment to innovation and creativity.
