How do our removable partitions contribute to reducing stress in open-plan offices?
Years ago, the open-plan office became the standard for office layouts. Designed to foster collaboration and optimize space, this model nevertheless reveals its limitations, particularly in terms of acoustic comfort. Ambient noise, distracting conversations, lack of privacy… These nuisances directly impact employee concentration, productivity, and well-being.
Faced with these challenges, the design of workspaces can no longer come at the expense of well-being. As experts in demountable partitions and acoustic solutions , we offer a technical and design-oriented response to the challenges of open-plan offices.
Noise, a still too often underestimated stress factor
Acoustics in the workplace directly influences health, concentration, and efficiency. Yet, it remains a parameter often relegated to the background in layout projects.
Some key figures:
- 60% of French employees say they are bothered by noise in their workplace (Ifop-JNA, 2021).
- The WHO classifies noise as the 2nd cause of occupational stress , just after mental overload.
- Poor acoustics can lead to a decrease in productivity of up to 66% .
- Ambient noise in open spaces frequently exceeds 55 dB, a critical level for concentration .
Acoustic comfort is therefore not an option, but a real direct lever for performance and engagement at work.

- Aluminium rated A+ for VOC emissions
- Demountable and reusable systems
- HQE, BREEAM, LEED, E+/C- standards
- Product Declarations (EPDs) are available for the components.
- Made in France, in Normandy
Each partition becomes a reusable element in an overall project to reduce the environmental footprint .
Freedom of configuration and finish
SUBLIM'ART® technology , it is possible to enhance the aluminum profiles (wood, marble, brushed metal effects...) and adapt the partition to the identity of the place.
Acoustic comfort is no longer simply a technical parameter. It has become a strategic issue , at the crossroads of well-being, performance, and brand image. Providing a calm, adaptable, and aesthetically pleasing work environment means meeting the new expectations of users and anticipating those of tomorrow.
With its acoustic partitioning solutions, QOVANS® transforms the constraints of open space into spaces of efficiency and serenity .
Investing in acoustic comfort means investing in a sustainably humane work environment.
