Essential for the layout of interior spaces, partition installation is a strategic element in the fit-out of your offices. There is a wide variety of partitions, varying by material, opacity, function, acoustic properties, and more. If you’re struggling to choose partitions for your offices, this article will help you make sense of it all.
Installing removable partitions for a flexible layout
As the name suggests, this type of partitioning offers great freedom in the separation of offices. Partition installation starts with fixing a frame to the floor, walls and ceiling. Glass panels or solid panels can then be integrated into this frame.
Removable partitions have the advantage of being easy to dismantle, so you can quickly change the design of your premises.
It’s also possible to enlarge a room or add a separation to make your premises especially flexible. Removable partitions are a perfect fit for companies that don’t want to be limited by fixed separations and often try out different layouts.
This is all the more useful if your premises’ space is fairly limited.
The different materials of office partitions
To give free rein to your preferences, you can choose between several materials that will best match the design of your interior spaces:
- Clear glazing
- Smoked glazing
- Thick or double glazing
- Wood panels
- Melamine
- Leather-look finishes
- Fabric-look finishes
This choice should also be made based on the sound and thermal insulation you want in your premises. Partitions around a meeting room should logically offer strong acoustic control.
Clear glass partitions for greater brightness
Installing glass partitions is a natural choice for companies that prefer to let light flow between rooms. Light travels easily from one room to another when clear glass partitions are used.
This type of partition also conveys an image of transparency within the company. It reinforces a sense of accessibility between offices and often supports exchanges and team cohesion.
Installing opaque partitions for more privacy
When it comes to opaque partitions, they are generally placed in areas where privacy matters.
This way, you can use opaque partitions to separate sensitive meeting rooms (such as the executive committee) or the finance department.
Opaque partitions also offer a wide range of colours and materials. This lets you give free rein to your imagination to bring a unique character to your premises.
