Aluminium Demountable Partitions

Fully glazed aluminium partition

Generally based on 1200mm modules these types of partitions are fully demountable, re-locatable and multi-purpose. They offer a quick and simple solution to dividing up workspaces.

Comprising of aluminium sections with prefabricated honeycomb panels they can either be solid/glazed or a combination of both.

Aluminium framing sections are available in RAL9010 (White), satin anodised aluminium or BS00A05 Grey as standard although virtually any colour is available.

They can be single or double glazed and can accommodate 15mm and 25mm integral venetian blinds.

Available for heights up to 3000mm, and they can be fitted with door frames and skirting to match the rest of the aluminium sections.

So if your looking for a cost effective and versatile range of partitioning for use in office environments, then aluminium demountable partitions could be your answer.

Partition your office space

Large open office spaces are not always the ideal solution. Sometimes you need privacy, for example business meetings, private offices or simply for separating staff from disrupting others whilst they are on their break.

Installing brick walls can be very expensive and if not on the ground floor consideration would have to be made if the floor can support the weight. That’s where office partitions are the ideal solution.

Not only are office partitions cost effective, they are also much quicker to build than standard brick walls.

There is a huge range of partitions ranging from from solid metal stud partitions which are ideal for acoustics and thermal insulation to glass partitions which are stylish and allow the light to flood in to aluminium demountable partitions which are perfect for relocating at later date as your company expands.

A combination of solid and glazed partitions can be mixed to come up with the best solution for your requirements.

How much do office partitions cost?

Frameless Glazed Partition

There are many different types and configurations of office partitions available but the basic types are metal stud partitions, aluminium partitions and frameless glazed partitions.

Metal stud partitions

As the name suggests this type of partitioning consists of a galvanised metal stud framework clad with plasterboard.

There are literally hundreds of different specifications available for metal stud partitions and these are determined by your requirements.  They have different  acoustic ratings, fire ratings and moisture resistance and sometimes all three together so this guide can only give you a very rough idea.

The cost can vary by a huge margin depending on the specification. For example a basic partition consisting of 50mm metal studs at 600mm centres clad with one layer of 12.5mm plasterboard to both sides could cost in the region of £25 to £35 per square metre.  

At the higher end a 150mm stud partition clad with two layers of 12.5mm plasterboard to both sides could cost in the region of £55 to £65 per square metre.

These costs will increase if a higher specification plasterboard is required or if insulation quilt is fitted in the cavity. There are many different types and thicknesses of plasterboard which all alter the performance of the partition.

Also this type of partition will require the joints and screw holes filling before decoration or alternatively cover strips to hide the joints.

Aluminium Partitions

Sometimes called demountable partitioning this type consists of an aluminium frame with honeycombed plasterboard panels fitted in between. Like the metal stud partitions above there are many different types and thicknesses available.

For a basic solid 50mm thick SAA aluminium partition the cost could be as little as £30 to £40 per square metre.

At the higher end a centre glazed 75mm thick coloured aluminium partition complete with integral venetian blinds could cost in the region of £120 to £160 per square metre depending the type of glass and if it’s double or single glazed.

Frameless Glazed Partitions

This type consists of an aluminium floor and head track with full height glazing fitted in between. The vertical joints are either silicone or dry jointed but in both cases the joints are almost invisible. Again as with the other types of partitions there are many different specifications including single or double glazed, and there are different types of glass available including acoustic and fire rated.

A basic single glazed system costs in the region of £140 to £160 per square metre and this can rise dramatically depending on the type of glass.

 

The above rates should only be used as a very rough guideline as the final cost of partitioning can vary by a huge margin depending on location in the country, type of decoration, height of the partition, and overall acoustic and fire requirements.

For an accurate cost and help with the specification I would suggest contacting a professional partition contractor.
