Because of poor lighting, people get headaches due to the strain it puts on their eyes. That’s why office lighting should be one of the very first things to consider during the office design phase. To help reduce the risk of light-related headaches a glazed door could be an optimal choice. There are many different glazed door options to choose from, if you want to maximise a well-lit bright space then a clear glazed door such as our Slim-Line range is the right fit for you.

Paired doors can offer all the same benefits of a room divider by giving you option of turning two rooms into one, which is great if you want to keep one eye on the kids while you work, You can also then close the doors to create a professional private office space.
