Let me count the ways…………
So your workspace has got to work for you. Most of us have desks. The early adopters might have stand-up desks. Zones are now an increasing layout feature in open plan offices. Zones for meetings, brainstorming or even quiet zones.
But what about walls and partitions ? Have you considered making use of your walls – for productivity ? for interactivity ? for brainstorming ? for design ? just to shake things up ?
Here are some ideas to help you think how you might use the walls around your workspace.
Create entire whiteboard walls
You are more than likely already using a whiteboard. They are not very big so can limit your thinking. What about if you could transform an entire wall into one large write-on wipe-off area ? You can with our simple products. Check out whiteboard paint or whiteboard wallpaper. Within 24 hours, you could have a clean and modern working wall, with no boards or panels.
Whiteboard walls work so well for brainstorming and team meetings. Consider using for both team and client work.
Create entire magnetic walls
Choose from magnetic paint, plaster and now magnetic wallpaper, to create an entire magnetic wall. (You will consider your preferred magnetic strength, time to apply and ease of installation in choosing one of those.)
Once your magnetic base is on the wall, you can keep the naturally mid grey finish (due to magnetite content). Most people change the colour by choosing a paint to go on top. If you prefer a design rather than one colour, you can select a wallcovering or digital print).
Now with your beautiful looking magnetic wall, work away.
Staff photos, events, schedules, plans, actions, customers, trade shows, staff pics when there were babies, favourite pets or even thought of the day.
People use and enjoy magnetic walls in both planned and unplanned ways. Create a fun and engaging working wall with any of our magnetic products.
Create entire projection screen walls
SO we know most projector surfaces are used for powerpoint presentations and training. But we have also heard of some companies where they use their projection surfaces for gaming nights. Wouldn’t you love to work there ?
Simply paint on Smart Projector Paint for a matte projector surface. Use border tape or a dark paint to denote a border if you cannot dedicate the entire wall to projection use.
If you want dry erase functionality as well as a projection surface, choose Smart Projector and Dry Erase Wallcovering. (Consider desired functionality, application method, and finish when making this choice). The wallcovering is glossier than the paint, simply because you need some gloss level to wipe off dry erase markers. The choice is yours.
Create whiteboard and magnetic walls
That’s not all though. Did you know you can layer these products on top of one another to increase your functionality.
Perhaps you want a whiteboard surface, but would also quite like it to be magnetic as well. That’s no problem. Choose to apply magnetic and whiteboard paint to your surface or for a stronger magnetic hold choose Smart Magnetic Plaster. Or why not pair Smart Magnetic Plaster up with Smart Dry Erase Wallcovering instead? This choice is perfect for those looking to create a very strong magnetic surface which is writable and does not ghost.
Once installed you’ll have your very own magnetic whiteboard surface. This will be ideal for brainstorming, project planning and so much more.
Create whiteboard, magnetic and projector walls
Why stop at two functionalities when you can have them all? Magnetic, whiteboard and projection.
Simply layer Smart Projector and Dry Erase Wallcovering on top of Smart Magnetic Plaster. Then you’ll have all three functionalities to use as you please.
We’ve listed all the individual benefits of each functionality above, can you imagine how useful it would be to have them all available for whenever you need them. You’ll be able to draw up product designs one minute and in the next turn on your projector and carry out presentations.
You’ll even be able to incorporate all three functionalities at once. Once of the examples we’ve seen is how people redesign their website. They project the image directly onto the wall and then draw arrows to the areas that need changing and write notes. They also stick up new images they want to use on the wall so they can see how everything looks together.
Ok by now, you get the idea.
The most important thing is choosing the functionality and strength that best suits you and those you work with. How else can you best utilise your workspace?
