Noise and visual distractions are usually the number one reason for buying room dividers. Room dividers can help by decreasing noise and cutting out annoying visual distractions almost completely. Room dividers can be used in school, dorm room, church, restaurants, almost anywhere you want to cut distractions.

Less Distraction With Room Dividers

Lets say you have a classroom of 22 students and it’s test day. You can simply set up a small section for reading with just one room divider. Set up a wall that will allow kids to sit on the other side of the divider and read quietly when they finish taking their test. No visible distractions to upset the students who are still taking their tests. Works much better than fighting with kids who start to fidget and talk in their seats while others are trying to concentrate.

Another example, is when two classes, students & teachers have to share the same space. We get a lot of calls from schools that require two classes that share the same room. Think of how incredibly distracting that could be. Portable Room Dividers are a great solution to cut those distractions. Teachers and students love the privacy of their own space.  Teachers don’t find themselves talking louder to be heard. The portability of room dividers will allow you to open up and close dividers with ease.  Combining two classes will be just as easy as it was to separate them, only taking seconds to do it.

Room Dividers Improve Classroom Learning

Room Dividers can also improve the acoustics in your room and increase your learning environment. That’s right! You can actually learn more efficiently in room with “good” acoustics.

According to an article written by the Acoustical Society of America, creating rooms with proper listening conditions can really make a difference in students’ education.

Classrooms with “bad” classroom acoustics such as the acoustics in a gymnasium, which usually has very poor sound absorbing qualities can decrease learning in the classroom. In a room with “bad” acoustics, sound bounces around resulting in reverberation and echo resulting in difficulty hearing.

What Screenflex Room Dividers can do for your room, is absorb up to 65% of the sound that hits it. Room Dividers include sound absorbing acoustical panels that absorb sound. When sound is absorbed, the sound quality in the room increases. It’s easier to hear, learn and focus in a room with better sound quality. Room dividers also provide a block against visual distractions decreasing disruptions and increasing learning.

The next time your kids ask for a nice juicy hamburger for dinner, go for it! Did you know that eating meat can actually make kids smarter? It’s true! Researchers say that meat is a crucial part of a child’s diet. According to a two-year study in Kenya, kids who did not eat meat were smaller, not as strong and less intelligent than the kids who ate meat.

Scientists believe that when man discovered meat, our brains started to grow. Modern day man is bigger brained and smaller toothed than our early ancestors. Scientists suggest that eating meat is the cause for mans advancements.

These studies do not negate the fact that too much red meat can play a role in contributing to heart disease and early death. Like everything else, moderation is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Not all red meats are high in saturated fat which can cause heart disease.  Meat offers valuable nutrients that your body needs to build strong muscles, bones, skin and of course brain power!

Red meat is not only good for kids, researchers say that women who eat beef a few times a week run a much smaller risk of depression. Yes! Red meat can help us mentally. Researchers found that women who ate less than the recommended 2.2-3.5 ounces of meat 3-4 times a week were twice as likely diagnosed with depression than those who ate beef regularly. Oddly, the study did not find the same results for those who supplemented chicken or fish instead of red meat.

The fact is, your brain loves calories!  For the brain power you need to stay happy and sharp, reach for some red meat. For those who are vegetarians, there are other brain nourishing foods that will give a boost to your brain power. Try including avocado, wild salmon, blueberries, nuts, seeds, oatmeal, beans, olive oil, tuna, tomatoes, cacao nibs and coffee. These are some of the top brain nutritious foods that will activate your brain.

Portable furniture is becoming the wave of the future which is now! With the rise of student population or perhaps the limited amount of classroom space, whether it be in a church or school, the need for portable furniture is necessary and  frankly convenient.

What is portable furniture? Portable furniture is exactly what it sounds like, furniture you can move from place to place quickly and easily and can store easily when not in use. Portable furniture allows you to set up your room creatively and as needed.

So why are we becoming a portable society? Flexibility that’s why. Kids are very active in sports and other activities even more than ever before. Even various adults groups are offered more than in the past. Schools and churches need the flexibility to create the space for many activities whether it be a women’s group, religious education, girl scout troop, prayer group, yoga class and the list goes on.  A local church in our town shares their space with over 50 different ministries. That’s a lot of flexible space needed to conform to every size and type of group.

Just a few portable products and you’ll be on your way to a new and flexible space.

Folding Chairs

You can get folding chairs for a reasonable price. Since you will be using these often moving them and storing them, make sure you buy chairs for every day use. Metal chairs can withstand heavy use and requires little maintenance.  Plastic chairs are light and can be less expensive than metal chairs however plastic may hold less weight than a metal chair. Plastic is also maintenance free and can be used outdoors without worry.  There are many styles and several materials to choose from depending on your specific use.

Folding Tables

Folding tables are either constructed of plywood, particle board, plastic or aluminum. Quality is most often the number one reason for selecting a specific table top material. Depending on the type use, you might consider how often you will be setting up and moving your tables so you can choose the best portable table for your space.

Portable Room Dividers

The ability to divide space temporarily is an important part of having a flexible and temporary space.  Portable room dividers can provide the privacy you need during group functions. Create one, two or ten rooms or more. The choice is yours. You can even use your room dividers to store your portable furniture!

Quality is key when selecting your portable furniture. We all want furniture that can last for many years. A light weight product might be easier to move and store however be careful not to skimp on quality. Many quality products have carts with wheels so you can have a product that will last and allow easy movement, set up and storage. Portable furniture will allow you to keep within your budget.

Becoming a portable society is one that is flexible and cost conscious and does not lack in quality!

Portability for home use is something that is quite interesting. I stumbled upon this article that shows a portable living space in one box. Take a look it really is quite remarkable!

One 6′ room divider divides this class in half to reduce unwanted distractions from the other group. Teachers love room dividers to provide divisions in the classroom for other reasons such as test taking or to create a quiet spot for reading.
