The Benefits of Borrowed Lites in Office Fronts

Borrowed lites are openings in interior walls fitted with fixed windows. There are a number of reasons to incorporate borrowed lites into office fronts. Frameworks Manufacturing explains the benefits of borrowed lites:

Mental Health and Productivity in Office Fronts

Small, poorly-lit, enclosed spaces can drastically impact one’s mental health/clarity and productivity. Sitting for hours at a time isn’t ideal—and small, enclosed spaces limit one’s mobility. Spaces with no windows offer no natural lighting. 

Spaces like these are not conducive with a healthy work environment. Borrowed lites are the perfect solution for improving occupants’ mental health and increasing productivity.

Borrowed Lites in Office Fronts

Four closed walls make small spaces feel even smaller. With borrowed lites, a wall of fixed windows open up the space and give the illusion of a much larger room. With one less wall, occupants likely feel less isolated as well, as windows provide greater visibility without compromising privacy.

With four closed walls, occupants are limited to their overhead lighting. Windows illuminate rooms better, as they allow for more light to enter and fill the space. With better lighting, occupants are alert and focused on their tasks.
