Room dividers, demountable partitions
Here’s a really practical resource for designers needing to make the most of a limited building or room footprint – so everyone basically. Room dividers and demountable partitions have come a long way from the contraptions we all remember from our school days. To see just how far, see below.
Faay Vianen's CPD seminar provides a complete background in understanding the application of partition systems in domestic and commercial buildings. It includes details of the energy saving benefits from the use of partitions, together with specific uses in different sector applications. How partitions can influence the design and maintenance of buildings is incorporated. Important factors such as fire proofing, sound dampening and load bearing capacities are also covered.
Faay Vianen BV, based in the Netherlands, has four decades’ experience in manufacturing innovative partition walls and ceiling systems. The partitions are produced using an inexhaustible source of flax waste, a by-product of linen, paper and linseed oil production. This provides the partitions with exceptional physical features such as impact resistance, fire-resistance and sound-damping, together with high thermal insulation and very easy installation. For every building situation Faay has a suitable partition or ceiling system.
An introduction to various alternatives on how to sub-divide space using acoustic and glass folding wall systems, including a simple guide to acoustic requirements.
Style Moveable Partition Specialists are specialist suppliers of sliding folding room dividing partitioning systems.
The AIS ‘Site guide for glazed partitions’ (part of a series of best practice guides published by AIS) is a guide to good practice for the benefit of main contractors, site managers/supervisors, designers, engineers and others involved in the building process or refurbishment, as an aid to understanding the requirements of the ceilings/partitioning/dry-lining contractor.
AIS represents companies involved in all aspects of interior fit out. With 1,123 offices nationwide and a combined workforce of over 38,000, members carry out over 65 per cent of the work involved in the UK commercial interior fit out, refurbishment and retrofit sector – worth over £4.3bn.
Both Parthos UK’s seminar and online presentation cover design considerations when specifying a movable wall. This starts with an introduction to the different types of movable wall products available. It then looks at the flexibility of movable walls and advantages of managing space, before detailing sound insulation and acoustic properties – including BB93 for schools. Also included are examples of surface finishes, project-specific solutions, case studies and solutions to actual problems encountered.
Parthos UK manufactures, supplies and installs a wide range of movable wall systems ideal for a variety of applications. The diversity and flexibility of these systems enables architects and designers to create a truly unique environment while utilising all the space available.
This CPD seminar aims to provide sufficient familiarisation of the performance characteristics of glass partitions to enable attendees to produce a specification detailed to their needs. The seminar critically reviews the performance requirements of glass partitions, covering acoustics, fire, structural strength, deflection, glass selection and attributes.
