I’m looking into dividing our office space. What are the three main types of partition walls I should consider?
The three most common categories of office partition walls are defined by how they're built and how permanent they are:
- Demountable Partitions: These are modular walls that can be reconfigured without major construction. They offer great flexibility for changing office layouts and are common in modern offices.
- Operable Partitions (or Movable Walls): These are large, sound-resistant panels that slide or fold to open or close a space, like in hotel ballrooms or conference centers.
- Fixed Partitions: These are built like traditional walls (with studs and drywall) but are non-load-bearing. They are permanent, offer the best soundproofing, and provide a solid, finished look.
