Switch
Our value and quick-ship leader — clean, sharp panels that look well above their price, ready to ship fast.
Overview
When timeline and budget lead, Switch delivers a clean, sharp floor without the wait. It’s Tayco’s monolithic value leader, quick-ship ready — here’s how it works, and when it’s the right choice.
Switch is a monolithic Panel System — the paradigm that still fits the large majority of workstation floors. Its one-piece panels place privacy, power and data where each person needs them, with genuinely sharp fit and finish and glass or acrylic toppers on top that add light and sightlines. Because it’s straightforward to build, Switch can be quick-shipped when a project can’t wait — and its paints and laminates match across the Tayco line, so a mixed Tayco floor reads as one coherent system. At just 2" thick it’s a slim panel — less panel creep, so more stations fit on the same floor — and it’s at its best where panels stay low and the layout is stable, staying sharp for years. Tayco’s fabrics and laminates are genuinely beautiful, and paired with Tayco Union — Tayco’s new quick-ship, value-oriented casegoods line — Switch can furnish a whole facility on one budget and timeline.

Switch is where we go when the clock and the budget are the brief — and it never looks like a compromise. The monolithic panels have a crisp, sharp finish, the glass and acrylic toppers keep sightlines open and light moving, and quick-ship availability means a floor can be in and working fast. Matched Tayco finishes keep it looking intentional across the whole space.
So here’s when we’d specify Switch — and when we’d point you elsewhere.
Specify it when
- Timeline and budget lead — you want a clean, sharp floor without the wait (quick-ship ready).
- You want factory-installed power — no field wiring, fast clean install.
- A slim 2″ panel that fits more stations on the same floor.
- You want to furnish the whole facility fast — Switch pairs with Tayco Union quick-ship casegoods.
- You value a manufacturer that shares our standards and backs us up when a project needs it.
Consider something else when
- You need deep configurability and any-material tiles — a full frame-and-tile system goes further.
- Top acoustic performance is the priority — a dense frame-and-tile acoustic panel absorbs more.
- The plan will reconfigure constantly — an agile beam reconfigures faster.
- You want maximum open density and daylight — benching opens the plan up.
- You want a warmer, residential feel — a desking system gets there more easily.
