    Composite partitions are both practical & visually appealing

    One of the most significant characteristics associated with such walls is the aesthetic value they offer, in addition to the practicality of plasterboard. All areas of your business premises including the lobby, conference rooms, office rooms, staff area etc. can benefit from the use of composite partitions. They create a uniform look that combines well with full height Glass Walls as well as floor to ceiling Plasterboard Partitions used elsewhere in your work space.

    Composite partitions allow natural light to come in

    The use of composite partitions allows natural as well as artificial light to freely penetrate throughout all areas of your work premises. This provides you with a number of benefits. For example, the use of natural light can help reduce your energy bills. Also, a well-lit office, especially one filled with natural light, offers a pleasant work place for your staff and positively impacts their productivity.

    They have excellent noise dampening qualities

    Composite partitions can cut down the noise significantly. This is because both glazed and plasterboard sections of these partitions, have excellent sound-proof qualities. As a result, your staff will enjoy a pleasant, calm and private environment to work in. Although less common for the use in Boardrooms, there are often good reasons to consider composite partitions for such rooms as well.

    They are a very flexible option

    Composite partitions can be easily customised to match the exact requirements for your needs. For instance, the plasterboard section can be colour to match your office decor and the glazed section can be made with clear, frosted, tinted or otherwise textured glass depending on your requirements. This way, you won’t be limited in matching the composite partitions to any other elements within your office.

    They offer the best of both worlds

    The beautiful aesthetics of full glass partitions have some disadvantages. One of those are the privacy issues with having full visibility of the workspace behind the partition, unless opaque film is used. The other, is that it may be very difficult and sometimes impossible to run services such as electrical, data, plumbing, etc… as glass walls offer no concealment. As such, composite partitions offer the best compromise. You have the privacy of the pasteboard in the lower part of the wall, as well as a cavity inside that section for running of the various services. While still having the aesthetic and light transmitting qualities of the glazed section above.
