T-SLOT OFFICE & BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
Shipping, Warehouse, and Office Solutions
Parco can provide workspace solutions to fit various applications using t-slotted extrusions from the front office to the assembly floor. With smooth profiles, t-slotted aluminum will produce an aesthetically pleasing solution, whether it’s a desk, communication board, or divider. Whether you are starting out and need to purchase brand new furniture for employees and clients, need a few whiteboards for your conference room, or are in need of one highly customized piece, Parco can help!
Furniture from office supply stores can be very limited by size and current design features. Another issue with finding the right office furniture is most of it is not as functional or ergonomic as it may seem. One of the advantages of T-Slot furniture is that it can be made to your specific dimensions and altered to fit whatever needs you may have.
At Parco, we can custom build t-slotted office solutions to fit any environment. Here is a sampling of a few of the products we can create for you:
- Desks: Executive, corner, L-shaped, U-shaped, or computer
- Dry-Erase cabinets
- Office dividers
- Whiteboard displays
- Computer enclosures
- Conference tables
- Workstation with cabinets
T-slot office solutions are easy to create with a wide range of accessories and panel material. We have hinges, handles, casters, locks, profile covers, leveling feet, lift systems, and more to build precisely what you need for your workspace. Before purchasing office furniture of any kind, there are several considerations to keep in mind.
3 Considerations Before Purchasing Office Furniture
Ergonomics
One of the first things to consider when selecting office furniture, especially in tables and desks, is ergonomics. Ergonomics is defined as the design of something with comfort and efficiency in mind. Whether it is an adjustable monitor arm or a table with lift capabilities, ergonomics is a top priority, especially in the workplace.
Our tables or workbenches can be raised or lowered to suit a range of employee heights. Utilizing the Dyna-Lift System, a fixed height table can be lifted with a 0-16 in range of height adjustment.
Multi-Functional
Another consideration when purchasing office furniture is its ability to serve multiple purposes. Most office furniture is designed for one task and doesn’t offer multi-functional capabilities. T-slotted aluminum profiles, fasteners, and hardware can create multi-functional pieces that can solve numerous issues. T-slot office solutions can help with:
- Storage issues
- Mobility
- Small spaces
- Monitor and keyboard placement
Longevity
The life of a piece will depend on the wear and tear it faces daily. Office furniture that can withstand daily use and cleaning in the workspace is essential. Furniture that does not easily scratch and stays aesthetically pleasing through heavy use is hard to find.
The longevity of off-the-shelf products for the office is generally short. T-slotted office solutions are made from aluminum profiles that are corrosion resistant, modular, and easily sanitized. Panel materials and tabletops surfaces are also easy to maintain and keep clean. Panel materials to choose from include:
- Polycarbonate
- Twin wall polycarbonate
- Acrylic
- Aluminum composite
- Expanded PVC
- HDPE
- ESD Polycarbonate
- Phenolic resin
- Aluminum plate
- ABS hair cell
Helpful Tips Before Ordering T-Slotted Office Furniture
Measure the Office Space
Measuring the office space will be needed to ensure the furniture you want will fit. With the room measured, you can then measure out the pieces you want, ensuring there is room for everything. When measuring, be aware of distances from doors and leave room for walkways.
When building custom furniture with t-slot with Parco, we offer a free design quoter that allows you to design and see a realistic model of the piece of furniture you want. The design quoter is easy and interactive, with a complete library of fasteners and hardware.
Think About Storage
While designing your furniture, think about your storage needs. Look for ways to have excess storage, either hidden or visible. Storage space can come in many forms, such as:
- Bookcases
- Cabinets
- Side tables
- Tops of desks
As mentioned above, consider a piece’s ability to serve multiple purposes. Maybe you have a small conference room; think about a table that chairs or stools will easily slide under.
Plan for the Future
With t-slot aluminum furniture, your future needs can be met without issue. T-slot offers a level of modularity that regular office furniture pieces can’t meet. T-slot can be modified if and when your needs change. Since it assembles and dissembles with no special tools, it can be changed with little to no issue.
For example, dividers can be turned into full-length communication boards by changing out the panel material. From swapping panels to connecting pieces together (desk to a cabinet), t-slot can save you money down the road when change occurs.
