Additional Information and Tips to Consider for Interior Redesign and Renovation

The walls: Walls define spaces in an office. Most offices are enclosed by thick concrete walls but define spaces within by using partitions which could be of glass, wood, fiberglass or any other material. During office remodeling these partitions are replaced with others that are more desirable. The outer or load bearing walls are not touched for obvious reasons unless the electricity or plumbing needs to be worked on. Cosmetic touches such as painting them in different color or changing the texture of their surface is a popular interior redesign option.

The floor: Forming the lowest level in a room, the floor is usually covered with carpets, tile, mosaic or linoleum. The last is most favored in offices for its easy maintenance... You have the option of simply replacing the linoleum covering of your floor or replacing the tiles during your interior redesign project.

The doors and windows: The placement of doors and windows gives your office its defining look. Add that personal touch during your office interior redesign by way of color or type of wood. Large windows to let in light and air will make a huge difference to your office interiors. By using energy efficient fenestration you can bring down your lighting, heating and cooling bills.

Cooling and heating: Cooling and heating consumes 56 per cent of the energy bill. In the first place, make sure that you are installing energy efficient equipment. This will go a long way in saving energy. The most common mistake made is over sizing. This makes the equipment more expensive and inefficient. When you think it’s time for remodeling, decide whether it is enough to supplement existing equipment rather than replacing the entire system. Verify with your contractor that the equipment is correctly installed as this can go a long way in saving energy after your interior redesign.

The lighting: New lighting techniques can considerably reduce the cost of lighting. When redesigning your office make sure you check out the latest lighting appliances on offer. Lighting bills can be considerably reduced by selecting the right lighting and placing them efficiently. Install task lights so that you can reduce the ambient light. Florescent light fixtures are more energy efficient. Use occupancy sensors so that lights are switched off automatically when not needed.

The plumbing: During your office interior redesign take the opportunity to install efficient plumbing equipment that expends less water. Water conservation in your office will considerably reduce your bills. If you are using old flush models that consumer 3.5 gallons of water per flush install latest models that consume only 1.5 gallons per flush. Installing a small water recycling plant will also be a good idea that will work out for you in the long term.
