What are Partitions?
Partitions are a quick, easy and cost-effective way to divide space. From simple partition ‘walls’ to glass meeting rooms or sliding walls, partitions come in many different styles and materials.
Benefits of Partitioning Systems
Fast
Installing partitions does not cause the disruption that putting up a solid drywall would, they are quick to put up and just as fast to relocate if needed. Partitions are great for growing businesses as you can quickly create a whole new department or meeting room within your current premises, allowing your business to expand without having to move to a new building.
Flexible
If you have a small space and need a way to break it up at certain times without committing to a solid wall then sliding partitions are perfect. Glass or solid partitions also offer more flexibility than permanent plaster walls as you can easily change the layout of your office in the future without having to knock down walls. There are so many design options available including partitions with windows, glass doors, full glass partitions and solid full-height partitions, from a design point of view there is a partition to suit any vision.
Practical
Privacy is important especially in offices, schools and healthcare environments. Partitions offer a practical solution where meeting rooms, wards and classrooms can be installed quickly and efficiently. Both glass and solid partitions offer acoustic options which help to increase privacy within the partition walls. For fit-out and construction sites, hoarding is a type of partition that can be erected quickly to create offices within building sites where there is limited space outside for office cabins. Recently, partitioning has had another practical advantage. During the coronavirus pandemic installing partitions has become a quick and affordable way to protect staff members and create one way systems and private workstations within workplaces.
Affordable
Partitioning systems can be easily relocated meaning they are an investment that will last, even if you have to move premises. Installing partitioning is considerably more cost-effective than dividing an office with solid, permanent walls.
Attractive
Installing glass partitions, in particular, creates a sleek and modern look whilst allowing more natural light to flow through the workspace. Partitions are becoming increasingly popular as design features within workplaces, it is easy to create a bold design feature and partitions provide a new space within the office for decoration and branding. Manifestations on glass partitions are a great way to create a professional look by adding a brand logo.
Types of Partitioning System
Aluminium Framed
Also known as demountable partitions, aluminium framed partitions can be moved or upgraded as business needs change. These partitioning systems are made up of an aluminium framework that s available in a choice of colours with honeycomb plasterboard which can be decorated with vinyl wall covering in a choice of colours, or painted. Aluminium framed partitioning is extremely versatile as different modules can be mixed and matched, modules range from solid, fully glazed, centre glazed and everything in between. Aluminium framed partitioning is available in low-cost solutions as well as high-end specifications, there is an option to suit any budget.
Frameless Glass Partitioning
Glass partitions are no load-bearing panes of glass that help to divide up workspaces and control noise levels. Glass partitions are usually full height, floor to ceiling glass panes. Glass partitioning creates a sleek and modern look without compromising on natural light flow. Using glass creates an open and airy feel and is great for offices that want to remain ‘open plan’ but need privacy. There are many different design options when it comes to glass partitioning systems such as banded glass partitions and even curved glass partitions. Glass partitions can be single or double glazed with acoustic options for added privacy.
Movable Walls
Moveable walls are the ultimate solution for a flexible and versatile space, options include sliding and folding walls in glass, vinyl or wood finishes. These moveable walls are perfect when you have a space such as a lecture theatre that needs to be split into two smaller spaces most of the time but occasionally needs to be opened up so that the entire space can be used.
Industrial Partitioning
Industrial partitioning is great for factory offices, warehouses, production areas, storage areas and clean rooms. Industrial partitioning is easy to install and affordable. We supply a range of single skin, double skin, and mesh steel partitioning systems from leading suppliers. Our expert team can help you source the best product for you project and provide a bespoke quote depending on your room dimensions. If needed, fit out of industrial partitioning can also be arranged.
Fire Rated Partitioning
Fire-rated partitioning systems are manufactured to meet particular fire safety criteria such as integrity, insulation and in some cases, load-bearing capacity. Building Regulation requirements for applications such as offices and factories, generally require a 30-minute fire-resistance rating to any partitioning within the area. We have many different fire rated partitioning systems available at Workplace Interior Shop.
Blinds
While they may not seem like the obvious choice for partitioning, blinds are a versatile product that can be used for both light control and partitioning. When paired with glass partitions, blinds offer a quick way to transform transparent glass into opaque walls, offering versatile privacy when needed.
