Open floor plans are making a lot of noise in the office world – literally. That’s why many businesses are opting for the flexibility and reconfigurability of movable wall partitions.

Movable partitions can be rearranged, reinstalled, and moved to a different location, as often as you require. Here at AEG Partitions, we supply movable walls in an assortment of styles and colourways. Yet – aside from breaking up the open floor plan, improving privacy and enhancing the look of your space – these partition walls will ensure that you get the most out of even the smallest of spaces.

Here we look at three of the best, most common, uses of movable walls, and how they can benefit you:

Space management

Struggling to fit everything in the office? Perhaps your budget won’t stretch to extending your space or moving to bigger premises. The good news is, you’re not alone, and installing movable wall partitions could be the way around it.

Our movable partitions provide an effective solution for various environments (i.e. offices, educational establishments, sports facilities, hotels, retail, etc.). Each panel can be stored at one side when not in use to maximise available floor space, and drawn across when you want to split a room up. These movable walls also work wonders for pop-up meeting rooms and conferences – when you need a little extra privacy – allowing you to utilise the space you’ve already got.

Acoustic control

Although movable wall partitions allow you to take what little space you have and make it your own, their benefits extend way beyond their beauty. The panels we supply offer the highest level of noise reduction – and are great for schools, colleges, and universities.

Our acoustic movable walls can be used during the exam season to ensure amicable exam conditions and to help students to concentrate on their important test papers, without any distractions. For when different tests are being held in the same hall, at the same time, it can also help invigilators to establish when to tell students to put their pens down and leave quietly – without disturbing ongoing examinations.

The acoustic movable walls, we supply, have an acoustic rating of 37-58dB, while sliding walls provide 45-50dB and concertina (folding) walls: 15-35dB.

Room division

In recent months, there has been a lot of speculation about offices and the impact COVID-19 will have on open-plan spaces. With government guidelines in mind, we all must make sure that we are utilising space in the best way possible – creating division but ensuring staff don’t feel isolated from the rest of their team.

Movable partition walls are the perfect solution and enable staff to keep a safe 2 metres apart, but can still communicate with other members of staff should they need to discuss anything. Movable walls can also help to separate workstations from meeting areas, visitor spaces, and breakout areas – allowing workers to take 5 minutes away from their desk without having to venture off-site.
