Aluminium Office Partitions: Advantages

Aluminium partitions are used to zone rooms of various configurations. If you are planning an office renovation and need to organise the workspace well, this type of partition is one of the best solutions. The structure helps save precious square metres and visually expands the office area.

Unlike full-glass partitions, aluminium partition systems are a framed system in which ordinary or tinted glass — or other materials — is set into the frame opening. Thanks to this they can be transparent or opaque. In this guide we look at the advantages of aluminium partitions and suggest where to use them, how to choose the infill and what the installation involves.

What aluminium partitions are

An aluminium partition is a frame of connected aluminium profiles into which an infill is fitted. The infill defines the look and function of the structure: ordinary glass, tinted glass or opaque materials can be set into the frame opening. This makes aluminium systems flexible — from fully transparent to solid.

Such office partitions effectively divide a large room into compact, cosy offices while costing significantly less than building capital walls. On top of that, re-planning with them requires no approval from various authorities.

Advantages of aluminium partitions

The advantages of aluminium structures are hard to overstate:

• space and cost savings — cheaper than capital walls, preserving usable square metres;
• sound absorption — they effectively dampen noise from other work zones and the corridor;
• natural light — thanks to their light-transmitting ability they preserve lighting while creating seclusion for concentration;
• durability — resistant to temperature changes and moisture;
• strength and rigidity — they withstand heavy loads, and the geometry doesn’t deform over time;
• aesthetics and easy care — the material is attractive and undemanding;
• mobility — thanks to their light weight, a partition can be reinstalled.

Aluminium is environmentally safe, looks attractive without additional colouring, doesn’t darken and fits organically into any ready design. In other words, the structure fully meets the practical requirements of modern offices.

Transparent or opaque: how to choose the infill

Since different materials can be set into the frame, an aluminium partition is easy to tailor to a zone’s needs:

• ordinary glass — maximum transparency and daylight, suited to open-plan spaces and zones where visual oversight matters;
• tinted glass — partial privacy while keeping light transmission;
• opaque infill — full seclusion for meeting rooms, management offices or zones needing confidentiality.

Where to use aluminium partitions

Thanks to their versatility, aluminium partitions are appropriate in offices of any size:

• dividing a large open-plan space into offices and work zones;
• setting off meeting rooms, reception or a waiting area;
• organising space in small offices to make use of every metre;
• zoning large rooms while keeping a sense of space.

Comfort in a company — large or small — depends largely on rational planning, and a partition that organises the interior space effectively has a positive effect on staff productivity. The layout is best planned at the design stage.

Installation features

Assembling and mounting a frame of connected aluminium profiles doesn’t take much time. An important advantage is the ability to set up partitions in already functioning offices, without interrupting the work process.

The installation method depends on the type of structure:

• Stationary partitions are fixed to the floor, walls or ceiling. To avoid gaps during mounting, the surfaces must be even — gaps significantly reduce the level of sound insulation.
• Mobile partitions have no rigid fixing, so they can be moved frequently and used for different needs.

Qualified Partner Create specialists will install the structure reliably and quickly.

Aluminium partitions in brief
