If you think your employees deserve more than a makeshift break space (i.e., a table and a fridge), then it may be time for a change. To give your employees what they deserve, you don’t have to subject your workplace to months of construction and noise. Modular break rooms can be installed within days and adapt when your business does, all while giving your team the quality break space they deserve. In this article, we’ll cover what modular break rooms are, some of their main benefits, and some common questions about them.
What Are Modular Break Rooms?
They are enclosed rooms built inside warehouses, factories, or office buildings to give employees a clean and quiet place to take breaks, eat meals, or relax.
They are “modular” in that they are mostly built off-site in a factory, and the parts (called modules) are then shipped to the job site where they are assembled.
The system is flexible, and break rooms can be installed quickly, often with little or no interruptions to your day-to-day work.
Benefits of Modular Break Rooms
As we’ve said already, modular break rooms are created through a flexible system. As a result, you can choose the layout, size, and features of your building, and even move or expand the rooms later should you so choose. This kind of flexibility can bring a wide range of benefits.
Built Fast
Because of the modular method, “construction” takes a fraction of the time that traditional methods require. Specifically, the systems at Allied Modular are designed to be installed while your operations continue. This means no extended shutdowns or long cleanup after the work is done. Our teams move in and out quickly to get the job done.
Flexibility & Possibility for Future Adjustments
One of the great parts about modular is that break rooms can be placed just about anywhere, whether that’s on the factory floor, inside a warehouse, or within a large open-style office.
In the future, if you want to play around with your layout, or your space needs to change, the break room can be readjusted or even moved entirely to a new location. This would be impossible with traditional construction.
Easy to Keep Clean
Though you can choose from many materials, many of our surfaces are made from FRP (fiberglass-reinforced plastic), melamine, aluminum, and other materials that are easy to clean, especially for a messy place like a lunch room.
Looks That Match Your Space
Finally, we provide our customers with many interior options and colors. Your break room can be minimalist, a colorful retro design, or whatever you need to match your branding and surrounding architecture. One of the biggest benefits of choosing Allied Modular for your break room is our extensive selection of colors and architectural finishes that we offer.
Cost Efficiency and ROI of Modular Break Rooms
With traditional construction, building out a new space usually means months of downtime and high labor costs. Our break rooms can help your business cut those problems down to size. Here’s how they can save you both time and money.
Lower Construction Costs
Because much of the work is done off-site in a factory, you save a lot of time on labor. And since the rooms arrive ready to assemble, you avoid the surprises that tend to increase costs significantly for regular buildings.
Less Downtime = More Value
Also, since they can be installed quickly (often while your team keeps working), it results in no lost productivity, no interruptions, and far less cleanups.
A Flexible Investment
Finally, as we’ve pointed out already, if you need to relocate or readjust your layout, your modular break room can be adjusted to meet your needs, which gives them an excellent return on investment. In other words, you’re never locked into a permanent change that’s difficult to undo.
The Bottom Line
If your current break space is little more than a table and a fridge, it might be time to put in some modular break rooms. Without the messiness, noise, or long delays of traditional construction, they give your employees a clean and quiet place to recharge. With flexibility, custom design options, and long-term value, modular break rooms are a simple upgrade that shows your team you care.
