Desk accessories: Which accessories support your workplace in a balanced and optimal way?
In order to optimally design a desk or workstation with the right desk accessories, it is necessary to consider a few key aspects.
In any case, the workplace should be safe from tripping hazards. If electrification is required, such as plugs, lamps, monitors or a height-adjustable desk, the cables should always be well and safely stored away, not just for optical purposes. The ergonomic and health aspects should not be ignored when using desk accessories correctly. Optimal workplace design therefore also includes healthy support through footrests or footrests as well as monitor holders. Both aspects promote balanced work and a sustainably ergonomic sitting posture and position.
Below we would like to give you some tips and help on using the right desk accessories so that you can enjoy a long-lasting, happy and safe workplace.
What different types of desk accessories are there?
We'll initially start with everything that can be found around the desk, but in the following we would like to focus specifically on the following accessories for the desk:
- Technical accessories such as cable ducts
- Monitor mounts
- Footrests and footrests
What technically necessary desk accessories are there?
We include the following components as technical accessories:
- Cable duct
- Cable trays
- Cable spirals
- Cable clamps
- Cable flaps
Which version is best suited for a personal or professional desk environment often depends on the local conditions. Basically, it is necessary to check that the desk accessories offered correspond to the dimensions of your own desk.
The cable spiral and cable clamp
There may be a lot of tangled cables, especially with height-adjustable desks, electrification such as power strips or when using lamps and monitors. The cable spiral and the cable clamp offer an elegant solution for routing and storing the cables not only safely, but also in a visually clean manner.
The cable duct and the cable tray
Using a cable tray or cable duct is a great and clean solution, especially for height-adjustable desks. But also for lights, lamps or notebooks that are operated with a charging station. Transformers, power supplies or small electrical components can be stored perfectly and neatly using the cable tray and cable duct. The cable duct is attached under the desk top with clamps or brackets. It is necessary to pay attention to the dimensions of the component and your own desk so that the desk accessories can be used optimally.
Cable flap and power strip
The cable flap is an elegant solution for guiding the cables directly through the table top. We have some table tops and desks where the cable flap can be installed directly. Cable flaps and power strips can also be used and installed on any table top. To do this, it is necessary to cut out an appropriate size from the table top. The cable flaps and power strips we offer refer to a table top thickness of 2.50 cm.
How can monitor mounts positively influence my work?
Nowadays, most professional workplaces and home offices are equipped with monitors. The only exceptions here are those who work with a notebook. It's not just company doctors who are called upon to find the optimal sitting position and posture for a long, busy day at the office. Every person should have an interest in having the correct, balanced and ergonomic posture even when sitting.
The right desk accessories such as monitor arms are a great way to make flexible and individual adjustments. It is important to always find the optimal setting for healthy sitting, especially at workstations that are used by several participants.
What types of monitor mounts are there and what should I pay attention to?
When it comes to monitor arms, we generally speak of flexible, rigid, additionally height-adjustable, one-arm and two-arm brackets.
Which monitor arm best suits your needs also depends somewhat on the working environment and the workplace itself. But it certainly depends on how many monitors are actually used in the workplace.
- Two-arm monitor mounts
- Single arm monitor mounts
- Adapter for monitors without VESA hole pattern
The monitor holder is attached to the outside of the table top. For this reason, it is advisable to clarify in advance to what extent the thickness of the table top allows the monitor arms to be supported. As desk accessories, they offer optimal support for a modern workplace.
Adapter for monitors without VESA hole pattern: VESA is a uniform video standard, especially for the mount. The items we offer comply with this standard and are designed for any monitors of this standard.
For monitors that do not comply with this standard, there is an adapter to securely and optimally attach monitors without VESA standardization.
What types of footrests or footrests are there?
Footrests can contribute to an ergonomic sitting position at high desks, especially for smaller people. They are recommended by doctors and health insurance companies if the optimal sitting posture cannot be achieved without help.
What reasons play a role for this? The desk cannot be adjusted in height or the office chair does not have a height adjustment.
Basically, a footrest or footrest compensates for the right-angled sitting position.
We essentially distinguish between two different forms of footrests. We divide these into fixed, immovable and height-adjustable footrests.
- Fixed, rigid footrests
- Height-adjustable footrests
The decision as to which footrest is optimal for your personal needs at work or in the home office also depends on whether the workstation is alone or shared with colleagues or other family members. Basically, it can be said that an adjustable footrest certainly offers optimal solutions simply through its adjustability. But the space available should also be taken into account.
Adjustable footrests are usually larger in size, i.e. deeper and wider.
A simple footrest used in the home office also weighs less and can easily be taken to other places such as the sofa or the dining table.
For professional and long everyday work, most height-adjustable footrests also offer knobs or structures. These are often used without shoes in the summer and thereby promote blood circulation. They also offer a wonderful massage function.
