Design Company Furnishes Ver-Tex Offices

Canton, MA – Office Gallery International, a Norwood-based provider of office furniture and design services for the business community, recently announced that it had been selected by Ver-Tex Construction of Canton to design and furnish its brand new expanded office space earlier this year.

Ver-Tex Construction

Ver-Tex, a company specializing in design and installation of window treatments and construction specialties products, had called a 4,000sf office home for the last 15 years, but as the company has grown it was obvious a bigger space was needed.  Ver-Tex entered in a lease with John Flatley for a new state-of-the-art office space on Dan Road in Canton that more than tripled the size of its previous location.

It was vital to Brianna Goodwin, president and CEO of Ver-Tex Construction, that the new space be furnished in such a way that Ver-Tex employees felt supported and comfortable and could be creative, as well as one that had plenty of spaces with varying levels of privacy needs.

The previous 10-person, thinly-walled conference room was replaced with multiple shared spaces of all sizes and for a variety of uses, including a relaxation room and “phone booth” for private phone conversations. Office Gallery also assisted in the installation of a sound-masking system that not only prevents conversations from carrying but also helps everyone feel less distracted by reducing ambient noise.

Employees were outfitted with cubicles that included comfortable and supportive seating as well as some additional acoustic considerations, while offering a combined modern/retro look by featuring gray wood paneling with aluminum accents and frosted glass as well as colored fabric surfaces.
