Meeting the Challenges of Glass-Walled Conference Rooms 

It’s not hard to see why glass-walled conference rooms are popular, especially in modern office spaces. They're stylish, sleek, and open up the floor for a collaborative, transparent environment. 

But there’s one downside to glass rooms that all business owners realize eventually: glass walls produce such strong echoes that you might feel like you’re working inside a cave. 

Not only do glass rooms echo, but as your voices bounce off the walls, the rest of the office will hear your conversations. This is not only distracting but may make your staff feel they have little privacy when in the conference room.

If you recently moved into or built a glass conference room, acoustic treatments go a long way to reduce echo and loud voices. Here are three glass conference rooms solutions that will vastly improve sound quality in your Dallas, TX, office.

Conference Room AV for the Modern Workspace 

People like to complain about meetings—that they’re boring, too long and accomplish little. But meetings and conferences should be where your team sets goals, raises questions, and comes together to share their strengths toward a common objective. 

Every business owner likes to imagine that their company’s conference room will inspire hours of productivity with the walls and table covered in new ideas. But more often than not, teams aren’t focused, and the technology won’t cooperate. 

In today’s business landscape, you need conferencing technology that’s up to speed with both in-person and remote work. The best conference rooms use technology not only as a tool but to create the ideal work environment. 

As a commercial AV integrator based in the McKinney, TX, area, we help Texas businesses create collaborative and inspiring office spaces. Below, we’ll share how the right conference room AV and automation can help you make the most of your meetings. You can also learn more in our blog and monthly newsletter. 

Create a Comfortable & Private Environment to Help Your Team Thrive 

What is sound masking? Unlike soundproofing (which uses wall panels to contain noises), a sound masking installation involves loudspeakers that emit soft, ambient background noises across your office. The white noise will sound like a constant airflow that muffles human speech and makes rooms feel quieter and more comfortable. 

When we install sound masking systems, we recommend in-ceiling or wall-mounted speakers positioned just outside of conference rooms and break rooms. That way, conversations remain private inside without distracting the rest of the office. 

If you’re wondering if a sound masking installation is right for you, read on to discover the several benefits they offer modern businesses. If you’re interested in sound masking for your Dallas/Fort Worth, TX company, contact Texadia Systems to learn more.
