Hey there! As a supplier of Office Sound Screens, I often get asked about how to measure for these nifty products. It might seem a bit daunting at first, but with the right approach, it's actually quite straightforward. In this blog, I'll walk you through the whole process step by step.
Why Measuring Matters
Before we dive into the measuring process, let's quickly talk about why it's so important. Office Sound Screens are designed to reduce noise and create a more private and focused work environment. If you don't measure correctly, you might end up with screens that are too small to do the job effectively or too large, which can be a waste of money and space. So, getting the measurements right is crucial for getting the most out of your Office Sound Screens.
Tools You'll Need
First things first, you'll need a few tools to help you with the measuring. Here's what I recommend:
- A tape measure: This is the most basic tool, but it's essential. Make sure it's long enough to measure the areas you need.
- A notepad and pen: You'll want to write down your measurements as you go to avoid forgetting them.
- A level: This can be helpful if you're measuring for a hanging screen to ensure it's straight.
Measuring the Space
The first step is to measure the space where you want to install the Office Sound Screens. This will give you an idea of how big the screens need to be.
Width
Start by measuring the width of the area. For example, if you're putting the screens between two desks, measure the distance between the outer edges of the desks. Make sure to measure at several points along the width, especially if the area isn't perfectly straight. Write down the smallest measurement. This is important because you want the screens to fit snugly without any gaps.
Height
Next, measure the height. If the screens are going to be floor-to-ceiling, measure from the floor to the ceiling. If they're going to be hung at a certain height, measure from the point where you'll be hanging them to the floor or to the desired end point. Again, measure at a few different points to account for any unevenness.
Depth
If you're using the screens as room dividers or in a more three - dimensional space, you might also need to measure the depth. This is the distance from the front to the back of the area where the screens will be placed.
Considering the Layout
Once you have the basic measurements of the space, you need to think about the layout. Here are some things to consider:
Placement
Where exactly do you want to place the Office Sound Screens? Do you want them to be against a wall, in the middle of a room, or between workstations? This will affect the size and shape of the screens you need. For example, if you're placing the screens against a wall, you might be able to get away with a smaller width.
Number of Screens
How many screens do you need? If you're covering a large area, you might need multiple screens. You'll need to decide if you want them to be connected or separate. If they're connected, you'll need to account for the overlapping or joining parts when measuring.
Special Considerations
There are a few special considerations that might come up depending on your situation.
Irregular Shapes
If the area where you're installing the screens has an irregular shape, you'll need to get a bit more creative with your measurements. Break the area down into smaller, regular shapes (like rectangles and triangles) and measure each part separately. Then, add up the measurements to get the total area.
Obstacles
Look out for any obstacles in the area, such as pipes, electrical outlets, or furniture. You'll need to make sure the screens can be installed without blocking these things. Measure the distance from the obstacles to the edges of the area and factor this into your screen size.
Choosing the Right Screen Size
Based on your measurements and layout considerations, you can now choose the right size of Office Sound Screens.
Standard Sizes
Most Office Sound Screens come in standard sizes. Check the product catalog of the screens you're interested in to see what sizes are available. You might be able to find a size that matches your measurements exactly, or you might need to choose the closest size and make some adjustments.
Custom Sizes
If the standard sizes don't work for you, many suppliers, including us, offer custom - sized Office Sound Screens. This is a great option if you have a unique space or specific requirements. Just provide us with your measurements, and we'll be able to create screens that fit perfectly.
Different Types of Office Sound Screens
There are different types of Office Sound Screens, and each might require a slightly different measuring approach.
Felt Hanging Room Divider
The Felt Hanging Room Divider is a popular option. When measuring for this type of screen, you need to pay special attention to the hanging mechanism. Measure the height from the hanging point to the desired length of the screen. Also, consider the width of the area you want to divide and make sure the screen is wide enough to provide the privacy and noise reduction you need.
High Density Polyester Sound Absorber
The High Density Polyester Sound Absorber is another great choice. These screens are often used in larger open - plan offices. When measuring for them, you'll want to focus on the overall area you want to cover. If you're using multiple panels, think about how they'll be arranged and measure accordingly.
Double - Checking Your Measurements
Before you place your order for the Office Sound Screens, it's a good idea to double - check your measurements. Measure the area again to make sure you didn't make any mistakes. You can also have someone else measure the area to confirm your results.
