Explore desk screens in glass, acrylic, PET and other panel options for existing or newly planned workstations. Consider how much visual separation you need, where the screen will be mounted and whether it fits the desktop dimensions. Material and acoustic properties vary by model, so check the specifications before selecting.

A desk screen defines the boundary between adjacent workstations and helps reduce visual distractions without fully enclosing employees. Depending on its material, it may also support sound absorption, light transmission, display functions or the organization of desk accessories.
PET or fabric-covered screens are suitable when visual privacy and sound absorption are priorities. Clear acrylic or glass screens preserve light and visual connection, while frosted or colored finishes provide more separation. The right material depends on privacy, acoustics, cleaning, durability and interior design requirements.
No. Sound-absorbing desk screens can reduce some reflected sound around the workstation and may improve acoustic comfort, but they cannot completely block conversations. Office noise also depends on ceiling and floor materials, room density, wall finishes and the distance between employees.
A lower screen creates a clear personal boundary while allowing easier communication across the desk. A higher screen provides greater visual privacy and is better suited to focused work. The selected height should not unnecessarily block natural light, air circulation or communication required by the team.
The width should correspond to the desktop and the area that needs separation. A front screen often covers most of the desk width, while side screens can be shorter depending on the required privacy and equipment placement. Monitor arms, cable openings and shared desk structures must also be considered.
Not automatically. Compatibility depends on the desktop thickness, edge profile, frame position, cable tray and mounting method. Clamp-mounted screens require sufficient clear space beneath the desktop, while drilled or bracket-mounted models require accurate hole positions. These details should be confirmed before ordering.
Yes, provided the screen is securely attached to the moving desktop or to a compatible workstation structure. Its weight, mounting brackets and clearance must not interfere with the lifting columns, cables or nearby furniture. The desk’s load capacity should also be checked when adding screens and accessories.
Many desk screens can be retrofitted to existing desks, especially when suitable clamp or bracket options are available. Before installation, check the desktop dimensions, material, thickness, underside obstructions and required screen position. Some desks may need a custom bracket or drilled installation.
Acrylic and glass screens can normally be cleaned with a soft cloth and a cleaner approved for the material. Abrasive tools and strong solvents may scratch or cloud acrylic. Fabric and PET screens should be vacuumed gently or spot-cleaned according to their care instructions rather than being soaked with water.
Provide the desk width and depth, desktop thickness, required screen width and height, preferred material, color, mounting method and order quantity. Photos or drawings showing the desk frame, cable tray and monitor-arm positions can help M&W confirm compatibility and recommend the correct brackets.
