DC Velocity - December 2013

As we move into 2014, the creation of competitive advantages is no longer just a need – it is a must. These advantages can’t come solely from the end product, but need to be found in every detail of business operations. Maximizing operational efficiencies is one key to thriving in this business environment and curtain walls can help you do this while offering a positive ROI.

All too often, companies experience a paradox in which increased levels of business don’t equate to increased profitability. Growth often translates into a need for more space, but such space may not exist – forcing facility managers into difficult choices regarding site modification. In addition to costly capital investments, they must weigh the cost of construction time and delays, the disruption to normal operations and even the impact that modification-related dust and debris can have on quality.

Fortunately there is an alternative to conventional construction. Fabric curtain walls provide companies an incredible opportunity to reconfigure their space quickly, easily and economically. Their installation time and cost are a fraction of tradition wall construction and their installation creates no dust. And since they can be reconfigured or moved, they give companies the option to modify a work area again in the future, as needs dictate.

There are also great opportunities to achieve unrealized energy savings through reconfiguring space. Many times companies unnecessarily heat or air condition large areas or an entire facility when only a smaller area requires it. Think of the all the energy saving possibilities this creates.

Maximizing operational efficiencies is essential for businesses today. Anytime you can leverage space currently being used into new ways that add value to your business, you create one additional advantage over your competition. Flexible fabric curtain walls make optimizing your space a quick, easy, and affordable task with a great ROI.
