How To Choose The Best Power Solutions For Your Office?

February 17, 2016

When designing your new office space and its power supply, you may find yourself wondering how to best decide between the number, types and locations of your power outlets. With multiple outlet options that can be installed above and/or below desk, Krost has got your power needs covered:

  • Above desk power solutions

With an increasing number of devices needing to be charged throughout the day, it is important to access you power outlets easily. Nobody wants to be crawling uncomfortably under their desk to charge their smartphone or tablet. Above desk power solutions will be used for anything that needs to be plugged in on a regular basis. We offer various power box options built directly into your desk for a sleek visual with a variety of connection inputs and configurations available such as General Purpose Outlets (GPOs), USB and/or Data. And if you are always on the go, why not try our brand new wireless charging device.

  • Below Desk Power Solution

It is wise to have a number of below desk power outlets for all your more permanent devices, such as your PC, monitors, printer and any other permanent peripheral devices. Your permanent data ports should also be in this location.

  • Cable management

All those cables can quickly create an unsightly mess and a tripping hazard. At Krost, we provide a range of solutions to help you eliminate the clutter. From our wire mesh cable tray that attaches to the under side of the desk and runs your cables neatly under your desktop, to our umbilical cord that can run from desk to floor, ceiling to desk or even ceiling to floor, we will get your cables under control.  Not to mention our Keywork, Benchwork, Framework, Vast and Axis systems which all feature integrated cable management systems. All our power solutions can be configured to suit your needs and the connections you require at work such as USB charging, Data plates, HDMI, VGA, DVI or even a stereo port. For more information on our power solutions, come visit us and talk to one of our friendly sales consultants that will help you get connected.

July 2, 2015

Compact laminate is the go to product for the most demanding environments. Perfect for use in many applications, the material is extremely durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Differentiating compact laminate from other material is not only its distinctive black core which makes for a unique design feature, but rather the process of manufacture which consists of thermosetting resins which are repeatedly reinforced with cellulose fibres and placed under extreme pressure and heat.

The manufacturing process ensures that the panels are self supporting, stain, wear and moisture resistant. The materials extreme durability means the material is perfectly suited for use in high traffic and commercial applications such as schools, laboratories, shopping centres, hotels, universities, swimming pools, cafes, shopping centres, bars and healthcare facilities.

Making compact laminate even more popular is the flexibility with edge profiles and the wide variety of colours and wood grain pattern options.
