What is the practical difference between a cubicle tile system and a traditional panel system?

Traditional panel systems use full-height panels that run the full height of the cubicle, with worksurfaces and overhead storage hung from the panels. Tile systems use smaller modular tiles that stack to create the panel — each tile can be different (solid, fabric, glass, open) and can be swapped individually for updates without replacing the whole panel. Tile systems are more flexible but typically more expensive. Traditional panel systems are more cost-effective and widely available. For most offices needing a solid, functional cubicle setup, traditional panel systems are the better value. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries both — call 888-719-4960 for the best deals.
