When you go to a hockey arena, a department store, office, or any other commercial space, you’re going to see glass. The versatile material can be utilized in various ways. That revolving door at the last hotel you stayed in: glass. Those room dividers in your office building: glass. The display tables at your favorite clothing store: glass. The list goes on and on.
There are several reasons glass remains a popular commercial construction component. This transparent material not only looks great, but also possesses other significant qualities that make it ideal within corporate office settings. Specifically, its use as an interior door—whether for an individual office or conference room—holds several advantages.
The versatility of glass makes it ideal for a wide range of commercial applications, both interior and exterior. Between its ecological advantages and stunning appearance, it's no surprise glass is consistently in high demand within the construction industry. One such use is as painted panels for commercial interiors.
Interior doors can be constructed of a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, vinyl, fiberboard, and glass—with the latter ever-growing in popularity. Recent statistics anticipate interior glass door utilization—whether swinging, sliding, panel, bi-fold or multi-slide doors—will increase considerably throughout the next several years.
Michael Moore, president of Nashville, Tenn.-based Synergy Business Environments, has been working in the officefurniture industry for years, gravitating toward it following college.

For a retail store to be successful, more money needs to come in than go out. This requires consistent sales and a healthy profit margin.

Research companies are increasingly evaluating the workplace environment, determining how it may help or hinder productivity, inspire or discourage creativity, and boost or harm employee morale. This includes taking a close look at its design and overall atmosphere, too.
With all the changes that continually take place within the construction, architectural and design industries, one consistent component in many commercial applications is glass.
Why? Its beauty, versatility, and safety, of course.
For Brian Crawmer, partner at architectural construction and design company Agile Interiors, establishing a professional partnership with DIRTT Environmental Solutions back in 2005 proved to be extremely beneficial. DIRTT—a customized interiors manufacturer that utilizes modern technology to provide its distribution partners pre-fabricated modular solutions, and design and configuration software—originally caught his attention due to its one-of-a-kind business model, which is currently reshaping the construction industry.
While some people are more logical and analytical, others thrive in an environment that embraces and inspires creativity. For Raymond Caliendo, the latter is true, and he credits his creative side with leading him toward his professional calling.
