Partitioning Types - office partitions
These are the types of partitioning we are able to provide:
Composite
Composite partitioning is constructed from solid panels, such as paramount or stramit, which are manufactured with outer layers, normally lightweight plasterboard, bonded to core such as paper egg crate.
This partitioning is mainly used within an aluminium framework, normally 50 mm thick, which can be SAA or colour coated finish.
Glazed windows can be formed, single or double glazed, utilizing clip-in PVC glazing beads.
This type of partition is not fire rated and provides moderate acoustic performance.
Stud Construction
Stud construction partitioning is made with single or double layers of normal plaster wallboard fixed each side of the studwork framing.
Solid panel joints can be covered with clip-on aluminium sections, which can be SAA or colour coated, or taped and filled to give a seamless flush wall. Some systems use timber trims.
Glazed windows can be incorporated into the partitioning, single or double glazed, utilising frames or clip-in PVC glazing beads. These often incorporate Venetian blinds.
Doorframes can be proved to match the system framework and fitted with suitable veneered doors and appropriate ironmongery.
This type of partition is fire rated and be upgraded utilising a mineral fibre or fibreglass infill to provide good acoustic performance.
Plasterboard
Plasterboard partitions and walls are non load bearing, and are constructed using dry techniques. They can be used in all types of buildings including private housing, commercial and industrial buildings. The range covers all applications providing simple space division, through to high performance walls designed to meet the most demanding fire resistance, sound insulation, strength, robustness and height requirements.
Construction: Plasterboard partitions and walls are constructed using lightweight materials which can give rise to significant savings in structural design compared to the masonry alternatives.
Environmental Plasterboard linings are not suitable for use in areas subject to continuously damp or humid conditions. They are also not suitable for use in temperatures above 49°C but can be subjected to freezing conditions without risk of damage.
Plasterboard is designated a 'material of limited combustibility' within the national building regulations. For optimum sound insulation all junctions have to be airtight, this is achieved sealing all gaps between boards with standard sealant materials.
