Partitions Buyers Guide

Dividing open-plan offices into separate spaces to improve productivity and collaboration. Breakout areas or dedicated team zones provide flexible workspaces that cater to different needs. Additionally, displaying important information on these walls ensures that essential updates or announcements are easily accessible to employees.

Schools and nurseries can benefit from creating designated areas like reading nooks, quiet spaces, or play zones, fostering environments for learning and creativity. Partitions can also be used for displaying students' work during events like parents’ evenings or open days.

Universities can enhance their study environments by zoning specific areas for focused work or group projects. Additionally, partitions can be used on open days or project exhibitions to showcase students’ work, attracting prospective students and engaging the visitors.

Health service providers can use dividers in reception areas to display important posters and flyers, raising awareness about available services or health campaigns. They can also create welcoming and informative waiting areas keeping visitors comfortable.

Hotels can enhance their event rooms and receptions by displaying essential information on partitions. This might include showcasing posters and flyers for upcoming events or providing helpful guides for guests.

Exhibitions, recruitment days, and trade fairs are ideal places for using partitions to showcase information. Providing clear and well-organised displays can draw attention to key messages and help participants engage with the business.

There are many different features that partitions can have. These features are not always available on every model so you should consider your needs and the partitions placement to determine which screen you should invest in. 

On certain models, screens can be linked together with screen link strips to provide a seamless wall. This allows for maximum privacy by ensuring there are no gaps between panels.

Some models are available with rollable wheels and locking castors. This allows them to be easily moved around and reconfigured for different uses. A great addition for those who need a versatile screen. 

Glazed window screens are ideal for low-light spaces that do not want to compromise on light levels. They allow spaces to be sectioned off whilst permitting light to flow through the room. They are also a great choice for those spaces that benefit from sectioning but do not need maximum privacy.

Partitions can also have multiple panels with hinges that allow them to fold. The clever design of these screens means there is freedom in the shapes that can be created, for example U-shaped, L-shaped or wave configurations. Folding screens are also easier to store and transport as long panel lengths can be folded to be a fraction of their full-length size.

Dividers with a sound-absorbing material allow sound to be absorbed through its carcass construction. This feature is ideal for use in busy offices or classrooms to reduce sound travel.

For added safety, rounded corners can be chosen. These corners are less likely to cause accidents making them a great choice for environments with children or low-height partition walls.

Our partitions are available in a range of sizes from 1 to 4m widths, and 900 to 1800mm height. The size you’ll need will depend on your desired application. For example, for creating a small children's reading nook a smaller height panel would be best, whereas in an office breakout space, a tall panel would provide more privacy. Our panels also come in a variety of colours, from bright to neutral, to suit a variety of environments or business branding.
