Cantilever
A triangular or "L" shaped bracket which supports (by
attachment to) one or both ends of a worksurface to a panel. Cantilevers provide
more support than do other types of bracketry. Greater support can be achieved with
end panels or floor to surface components.
Credenza (Systems)
Combination worksurface and storage unit located behind a main
worksurface.
End Panel / Back Panel
These are unlike the panels used to construct workstations. Commonly
thinner than the panels that are for workstation construction, they are neither
acoustical nor tackable, and are only utilized in the support of worksurfaces or
to create a freestanding desk.
Grommets
Holes within the worksurface that allow wiring to pass through
to power source (cable management).
Modular Worksurface
In low height panel systems cantilevers and end panels are exactly
at worksurface height, adding dimension to the worksurface length. For various reasons
it is sometimes necessary to eliminate these support elements.
When elimination of the support elements occur, these worksurfaces are manufactured
with added dimensions in order to match the seams of the panel.
Return
A supplementary work surface, added to provide additional working
space, that when attached to a main worksurface and/or credenza forms an "L"
or "U" configuration.
When used in a "U" configuration, the surface is supported entirely by
the adjacent worksurfaces and is referred to as a bridge.
Transaction Worksurface
Any panel mounted worksurface above the main worksurfaces that
allows the user to interact with standing guests. Commonly utilized in reception
areas, these worksurfaces are generally no more than 20" deep and come in a
variety of lengths.
Worksurface
Any flat surface which provides a workspace within a workstation.
The top of a desk, freestanding or modular, is considered a worksurface.
Worksurfaces made of laminate come in a variety of shapes and sizes, the most prevalent
being rectangular. They can be concave or convex, "P" shaped, "L"
shaped, bulleted, or in a triangular shape for a corner position.
Edge options include squared, bullnoses, traditional routing, notched, and even
rubberized.
There are now adjustable height worksurfaces that encourage workers to add standing
to their daily routines, which decreases lower back stress.
