Partitioning your home or office area is a practical solution to dividing your space. In addition, it is possible to install movable partitions, thus allowing you to separate or open up your space whenever you need to.
Alternatively, if you are certain that you do not need movable partitions, you can install fixed drywall partitions or glass partitions. Drywall partitions are budget-friendly, can insulate noise, and can be taken down easily as well if you no longer use the space. Meanwhile, glass partitions give an open plan feel to both homes and offices, making it a stylish choice.
Surveying site & knowing your requirements
Unless there are 3D visuals already prepared, we might request first for a survey of your premises. This is because we want to avoid installing any partitions that might interfere with where the vital wiring devices are at (e.g., socket, switch, circuit box).
We also get to know your requirements and the purpose that you require the partition for. Because apart from separating spaces, partitions can also be soundproof or fireproof. Thus, depending on your requirements, we need to plan ahead the required materials and set up.
Partition installation
Mark ups will first be done on the floor, walls and ceiling to indicate the location. Then, the frame will be mounted. Rack profiles are installed perpendicular to the rails, while the guides are mounted to the floor and ceiling.
​
After preparation of the frame, the plasterboard is mounted onto one side of the frame. If there were specific requirements, we may add the required insultation (e.g. sound insulation, heat insultation) into the frame. The plasterboard will then be mounted onto the other side of the frame to complete the look of a wall.
Inspiration + Function
Example 01
If you think wall partitioning is for big areas only, you might reconsider that.
​
One of our clients is a single who lives in a small condo unit. She does not want to feel cramped in her unit, so our ID recommended her to hack away a wall between the bedroom and the living room, and use glass partitioning for her bedroom.
The glass partitioning gives an open plan effect where the space seems visually bigger. Moreover, it allows for light to pass through so the room is bright and uplifts the mood of the homeowner. And, with curtains installed, she could simply draw the curtains to block out the view of the other room whenever she needs to.
