Panels made from metal or metal mesh can be constructed in various sizes, which are easy to move and be taken down if necessary. Double skin partitioning allows for the addition of insulation glass creating a fully enclosed space that will offer improved acoustics and heat retention.
- Glass Partition Walls
This is an ideal solution for more design lead spaces and is perfect for allowing natural light to flow through your office, increasing employee morale, and keeping the costs of artificial lighting down. They offer the feeling of an open plan space, whilst also providing employees or teams a more private or quite working are to limit disruptions.

The Main Benefits of Partition Walls
The different types of partition walls can offer a wide range of benefits. Let’s break down the key features:
- Practicality – An amazing thing about these partition walls is the practicality and functionality. Who doesn’t like the idea of customisation? The beauty of these different designs is that they can be as permanent as you want. Offices can change layout without huge upheaval; the ease of removal when needed, as well as dismantling and reassembly should it be required.
- Aesthetics – A stylish office drastically influences your team’s performance and morale. If they enter the office with aesthetically pleasing walls and good natural light, then they can channel that energy into their work. The designs you choose from the materials, styles, and coatings that we can supply, will leave your office looking like it’s always ready for business.
- Cost-Effective – One of the things you as a business owner may be worried about is the cost of setting up your office space. We are able to create designs to fit your budget, and a refurbishment of your office with partition walls is definitely cheaper than a costly relocation.
- Light – While not all partition wall designs offer natural light, glass partition walls allow your office to be filled with natural, healthy light creating an airy atmosphere that will have a positive effect on your employees.
- Privacy – You may be frustrated at not being able to filter out noise when conducting an important meeting, or perhaps your team needs some way of reducing the noise from adjoining departments or other business activities being carried out. There are plenty of choices when it comes to setting up permanent or temporary partition walls to reduce loud acoustics and stop distracting background noise.
