Partitioning forms one of the most significant elements of a fit-out.  It creates the working space in which all other elements fit and within which all working activities have to take place. The choice and installation of the partitioning system has to take account of the strict requirements of sound attenuation, light, aesthetics, privacy and fire compartmentation.

 

The partitioning requirements may range from the simple, functional subdivision of space to high-end glazing installations.  At its most basic, partitions may be created as permanent structures from simple studwork and plasterboard through to a broad range of proprietary demountable systems which can be adapted and re-cycled for future use. At its most advanced, operable walls can be designed and installed to offer great flexibility in the sub-division and use of space.
