PARTITIONING

Solid | Stud | Timber | Frameless Glass | Standard Doors | Full Height Glass Doors | Aluminium

We specialise in the following partition systems to suit your needs whether this is in your domestic or commercial properties. All of these meeting the most stringent technical requirements in terms of both acoustic performance and fire resistance & regulations

Partitions are non-load bearing walls that separate spaces in buildings. As well as spatial division, they can provide; privacy, acoustic and fire separation and flexibility of layout.

Partition walls can be solid, typically constructed from brick or block work , or can be a framed construction. Framed partition walls are sometimes referred to as stud walls, and can be constructed from a timber , metal or aluminium frames clad with boarding such as plasterboard, timber , metal or fibreboard. Partition walls may also be glazed & sign written.

They may be purpose-designed and constructed or may be modular systems, and can incorporate openings, windows, doors , ducting, pipework, sockets, wiring, skirting, architraves and so on.

Frame constructions may include insulation to prevent the passage of sound or fire between adjacent spaces. It is important therefore that the top and bottom of the wall are properly sealed against the floor and ceiling, and where a raised floor or suspended ceiling is present, it is important to consider the potential for ‘flanking’ through the voids above and below.

As they are non-load bearing, partition walls can provide good flexibility, particularly if they are lightweight, framed systems, as wall positions can be changed relatively easily and inexpensively without impacting on the overall structure of a building. Depending on the nature of the construction, it may be possible to re-use some, or all of the components of the wall in a different location.

Movable partitions are commonly found in exhibitions spaces, hotels, offices and so on.
