Plasterboard Partitions
When it comes to commercial office fitouts or any work space for that matter, it’s important to understand the role plasterboard partitions play in both the function and design of your office. These types of partitions or walls are permanent structures made up of layers of fibreboard that is bonded to gypsum plaster board.
Why choose Plasterboard Partitions?
Plasterboard walls also known as partitions are some of the most versatile ways to create a fresher, more modern and effective working environment in an otherwise old, outdated space. The nature of plasterboard partitions is such that they offer a number of unique benefits. For example, they are very useful when needing to conceal or hide electrical wiring, plumbing, and even minor design flaws.
What makes plasterboard partitions a popular choice in commercial office fitouts is their flexibility. Depending on what you need for your particular space, plasterboard walls offer a variety of solutions to help you achieve the right look and feel.
Let’s take a look at some of the features and benefits offered by Plasterboard Walls.
Water Resistant
If your fit out includes areas where water is present like bathrooms, laundry areas or kitchens you’ll want to go with plasterboard partitions that are water resistant to prevent water damage. Water resistant plasterboard walls are designed with a low absorption core which can be a major factor in preventing water wicking. That means you could significantly lower the possibility of severe structural damage to your interior walls.
Fire Resistant
For your safety and the safety of others, fire resistant plasterboard partitions are often required to be installed in certain situations.
Your office fitout contractor will be guided by the local council or your architect (if you choose to engage one) as to what the requirements are with regards to fire rated walls and other fixtures for your office.
Sound Proofing (Acoustics)
In situations where sound transmission needs to be contained, for instance in studios or for privacy, plasterboard partitions can be reinforced to provide a solid layer of insulation to keep unwanted noise under control.
To achieve this effect several layers of plasterboard must be added. The Weighted Sound Reduction Index rating determines how well a plasterboard wall keeps sounds like music, speech and other noises to a minimum.
Fibre Glass
Occasionally, when specified by the architect, plasterboard partitions or walls reinforced with fibre glass particles are used instead of the standard paper lining described above. These materials allow the partitions to be used in areas of your fitout that have rounded or curved designs.
Aesthetics
These partitions and walls are also versatile in terms of appearance. You have no limitations to put up with when it comes to colours. Plasterboard walls can be painted in any colour, or combination of colours to suit your brand. A simple change of colour can be transformational in the right circumstances.
