Plastic sliding partitions for rooms - types of partitions, self-installation

In modern realities, no one would even think of dividing an office space using brick walls. This problem is successfully solved by installing plastic partitions, which have gained immense popularity. With the help of these convenient barriers, it has become simple and effective to separate the corridor from the working office space in any possible way, seamlessly fitting into the existing design of the room.

Plastic partitions with doors also reliably isolate and replace a wall, but leave the opportunity to move along the corridors from one area to another. In addition, the door leaf can have several filling options: glass, double-glazed windows, regular panels or with decor.

Why are sliding partitions needed?

Plastic partitions of this type are radically different from others in their mobility. The symbolic division of the open office is easily modulated with sliding structures. Open partitions unite the workspace and contribute to:

1. Effective employee communication;
2. Free movement of visitors;
3. Creating a unified atmosphere.

OpenSpace's democratic policy does not exclude responsible moments “behind closed doors.” A sliding partition allows you to quickly:

1. Isolate part of the space from unwanted visitors;
2. Get a separate room for a meeting or conference;
3. Maintain the confidentiality of what is happening.

Transparent partitions are often equipped with blinds to control the visual accessibility of what is happening “behind closed doors.” Movable walls allow you to combine office space by removing the partition into a specially designated area.

Lightweight partitions made of transparent plastic are especially popular. Their presence does not negatively affect the visual perception of space. This allows for maximum density of jobs. Good visual accessibility is in demand among management. This makes it easier to control the work environment and be aware of what is happening.

Advantages and disadvantages of plastic partitions

Sliding interior partitions made of transparent plastic are widely used in social and public institutions, shopping and entertainment centers, museums, and exhibition pavilions. They are advisable to use in rooms with high requirements for heat and sound insulation parameters.

This is explained by the unique properties of the modules:

• Transparent plastic does not interfere with natural light, which is important when dividing space transversely;
• A partition with a transparent panel has a positive effect on the visual perception of space, which is important in a small area;
• High degree of sound insulation (up to 45dB), which is difficult to achieve in open offices;
• High hygiene. Plastic is easy to clean. It is not damaged by bacteria and pathogenic fungi;
• Limiting space is a prerequisite for security in banking institutions. Plastic panels are covered with tinting film for visual insulation;
• Mobility, allowing you to change the design of partitions depending on the intended use of the room;
• Do not interfere with electrical wiring and telecommunications;
• Low cost due to ease of installation and use of available materials.

The use of light walls for redevelopment of space does not require special approval from the relevant departments. The installation process is clean and neat. All components are pre-fitted according to measurements. Installation does not require stopping office work or changing the visiting schedule. The work area remains accessible and clean.

Despite many advantages, plastic partitions have some disadvantages:

• Sockets, switches and other electrical installation devices must not be placed on the same line with the partition;
• Light weight and mechanical fragility exclude the placement of wall cabinets, shelves, and interior design items;
• Low fire resistance. Plastic is not a fire barrier during a fire;
• The size cannot be adjusted, as this would require a complete change in the design of the lightweight partition.

Partitions of this type remain relevant due to their budget cost and wide range of color solutions.

Types of sliding partitions

Sliding plastic interior partitions

They belong to the transformable partitions, since they can easily be transformed from a solid wall into separate segments. Some sections are used as doors. There is a classification according to the type of construction:

• Multi-rail;
• Double rail;
• Single rail.

The panels move in opposite or one direction. The degree of fit of the movable segments also varies. They can fit tightly or “run over” on top of fixed parts or each other.

Sliding plastic partitions also come in different shapes:

• Straight;
• Radial.

The latter are modeled from bent plastic. They are installed so that the movable segments fit closely to the remaining elements of the partition.

Partitions are distinguished by the type of fabric:

• Frame;
• Whole.

Solid walls support their own weight and do not have a reinforcing frame. Their stability depends on the ceiling and bottom mounts. Frame partitions have frames and lintels made of plastic or metal. This significantly increases resistance to mechanical damage. They are recommended to be installed in places with large concentrations of visitors: bus stations, airports, cinemas.

REHAU BRILLANT-Design

The BRILLANT-Design profile belongs to the premium segment and has increased heat and sound insulation.

1. Main characteristics:
2. system depth – 70 (80) mm.
3. number of cameras – 5 (6) cameras.
4. glass unit thickness – up to 41 mm.
5. thermal insulation - Rodef = 0.79 m2 °C/W.
6. reinforced locking devices for increased burglary safety
7. two independent sealing circuits ensuring water and air tightness
8. you can choose roundings, bevels on boxes and glazing beads

External design of sliding partitions

The type and shape of light walls with sliding sections depends on the personal preferences of the customer and the style of the interior. The design of partitions varies widely:

• Fully transparent are the ideal choice for a small room with one window;
• Toning using film improves the decorative effect of the wall and zoning of space;
• Fully painted partitions blend into the background of load-bearing walls as much as possible;
• Zoned painting obscures only a certain level of visibility;
• Applique application is very popular in shopping centers. Often used for advertising purposes.

Democratic partitions fit perfectly into any interior style.

The impact of sliding partitions on office work

Frame or solid, they do not distract from the work process. Modern competitive conditions call for the use of non-standard solutions to obtain effective solutions. Sliding partitions fully meet modern market trends.

The work of a modern office requires rapid response. Sliding partitions allow you to quickly transform:

• Two small offices into a spacious meeting room;
• Combine brainstorming space;
• Spacious room with several separate offices;
• Work office in a banquet hall or recreation area.

Mobile walls quickly pay for themselves, given the savings on renting additional space.

What programs can you use?

Most often, such opportunities are provided by sites that are directly involved in the manufacture and installation of partitions. Each program, of course, has its own individual functionality; different information is requested for calculations and calculations.

Rockwool program

The program is designed for calculating beams, heights of structures, thickness of products and other proportions of partitions for remodeling a house, apartment or office. The resource has two functionalities: “for those in the know” and “for dummies.” Regardless of the level of knowledge in line with calculations, everyone can carry out the mission. To do this you need:

1. Choose what type of partition is needed: floor covering, wall.
2. Indicate which sound factors the overlap should eliminate: music, production mechanisms, conversations.

3. And also, you should choose what type of structure needs to be installed: thin, multi-layer, with or without insulation.

After entering the above data, the program will provide information about which type of partition is most suitable for existing requirements.

Resource TechnoNIKOL

This program calculates beams, fencing diameter, level of required sound insulation and quality indicators of the required structure. There is also a professional filling structure designed for inexperienced customers. In order to determine how the sections should be located, as well as the need to place statically indeterminate beams (additional fastening elements for structural stability), the following information must be indicated:

1. In the room for what purpose installation is required (office, entertainment, residential or industrial).
