I’m planning our office layout and considering “partition walls.” What exactly are they, and how are they different from regular walls?
A partition wall (or office partition) is basically an interior wall used to divide up a larger space. The key thing is that it's not a permanent, structural part of the building.
Think of it like a flexible room divider. Unlike traditional solid walls built with bricks, partition walls are usually modular, demountable, and can be reconfigured. They are essential for creating privacy, defining workspaces like cubicles, or sectioning off meeting areas in an open office.
- Traditional Wall: Permanent, load-bearing, fixed.
- Partition Wall: Non-load-bearing, movable, and flexible.
They come in many styles, from full-height glass partitions that let light through to solid cubicle walls for more privacy or even low desk screens.
