The Significance Of Office Partitions In A Modern Office.
Office partitions play an integral part in a modern office. In addition to optimizing the available space, partitions can also provide various levels of privacy depending on the type of partition you choose.
Choosing Partitions for Your Office Fit out
The type of partition you should use in your fit-out depends on your needs and preferences. Different types of businesses will have different requirements. For example, a medical fit out will require partitions that provide a higher level of security throughout the area.. While a general office environment may only require security in a specific area and not in others.
Fit-out design and branding are important to every business. If you want to create a certain kind of look and feel, your choice of the type of partitions to use, could potentially have a strong visual impact.
If you’re just looking to update your current fit-out, adding some walls can help give your space a total makeover.
Office Partitions Are Available In Several Different Types
No matter what kind of look you’re trying to achieve for your fit-out, there are types of partition walls that will do that job perfectly! Plasterboard, glass, composite, timber veneer, acoustic, fire-rated and water resistant walls are the most common partitions used in office fit-outs.
Here’s a quick look at some of the types of partitions mentioned above.

Here’s a quick look at some of the types of partitions mentioned above.
1. Plasterboard Partitions:
This kind of partition is a permanent structure that is often used to provide privacy as well as hide things like plumbing and wiring. These partitions are essentially interior walls of your fit-out.
Most Common Benefits:
Privacy
Uniform look
Allowing for distribution of Services (plumbing, electrical, data, etc…)
Provide support for Joinery Items or other Fixtures that are required to be affixed to a particular wall
Ability to be painted as Feature Walls
2. Glass Partitions:
The most obvious benefit of Glass Partitions is the distribution of natural light. The “open” look such walls provide is particularly useful in smaller spaces. If your fit-out is being done in a minimalist style, you may find glass partitions to be an excellent way to go.
With Glass Walls, your space gets the best of both worlds in terms of dividing it for most efficient use as well as providing an airy, modern look. You can create small offices within your space or outfit your entire floor with wall to wall glass partitions.

Most Common Benefits:
Light Distribution
Modern, attractive look that combined with decorative elements on other, non-glass walls can be easily molded to convey a strong image of your company’s brand
Easy to add elements such as your company logo which can be visually impressive.
Although somewhat more expensive than Plasterboard, Glass Partitions are quicker to install.
3. Acoustic Partitions:
For commercial fit-outs where sound containment or blocking is required, acoustic partitions are a great solution. These types of partitions are created to absorb sound and provide both privacy and the necessary level of comfort for adjoining spaces. Use of these partitions is just as flexible in terms of installation as it is with regular plasterboard.
Most Common Benefits:
Soundproofing
Privacy
The same advantages as offered by standard Plasterboard walls.
