Partitioning
In any building, a partition wall is installed to create rooms within internal spaces. Partitioning is a cost-effective method of turning one large room into separated areas for many different functions. Compared to moving offices or re-building entire floors, a convenient partition function can save you heaps of time, effort and planning. Luckily, Building Materials Nationwide Ltd are here to help make your next partition job go as hassle-free as possible.


We offer partitioning in a variety of depths, and our wide range of partition accessories, including glass partition walls, office doors, and door handles and locks, are all high-quality and competitively priced to help your project go smoothly from start to finish.
Stud partition walls are a framework of timber studs, which plasterboard is laid on top of. These walls are not load bearing, meaning that windows and doors can be installed wherever you desire.
We can supply you with everything you need to ensure your office partitions are fitted to ensure maximum privacy and longevity, whilst reflecting a modern design. Our range of glass office partitions can be bought either framed or non-framed.
All partition systems are compliant with fire and acoustic regulations.
Contemporary office partitions have evolved to include sophisticated systems designed for commercial spaces. Glass partitioning boosts natural light and frameless partition systems deliver clean lines for modern workplaces. For those tight deadlines, you'll find the Rapide 89mm ClipFit system invaluable, offering you swift installation times.
What Are the Fire Safety Features of Intumescent Strips?
Intumescent strips boost the fire resistance of partition systems. When exposed to high temperatures, these strips expand rapidly, sealing gaps and preventing fire spread. The strips are typically installed around door frames, between panels and at junctions with walls and ceilings. They remain dormant under normal conditions, activating only when needed to maintain the integrity of fire-rated partitions.
How Much Time Does it Take to Install Glass Office Partitioning?
For standard office glass partitions, you can expect installation to take 1-2 days. This timeframe assumes you're working with a straightforward layout and readily accessible space. If you're dealing with complex designs or integrating features like doors or electrical components, you might need to allocate 3-5 days for the installation process.
What Are the Load-Bearing Capacities of Aluminium Angles in Partition Walls?
Aluminium angles in partition systems provide structural support while maintaining a lightweight profile. They typically offer load-bearing capacities ranging from 50 to 200 kg per linear metre, depending on the design. An aluminium angle can be reinforced for increased strength in high-stress areas or tall partitions. Their corrosion resistance ensures long-term stability, even in humid environments. Various sizes and thicknesses are available to meet different load needs.
What is the Delivery Process for Partitioning?
For partitioning, delivery times highly depend on order size and the materials you’ve ordered. Standard delivery within 2-3 working days typically applies for materials like drylining partitioning and standard-sized Venetian blinds.
Products such as glass partitioning, cut-to-size partitions and bespoke blinds will likely require longer lead times. Check out our Delivery Options page. We advise you to contact your dedicated trade account manager for precise delivery updates.
