Demountable Partitioning

The product chosen was a 50mm demountable partitioning system manufactured by Komfort systems, with cherry veneered doors and three vision panels cut into each door. The 50mm wide demountable partitioning system offers good value for the performance versus price. The important thing for this customer was that a visual separator was needed from the Sales office and another located at the other end of the office. The building had cherry veneered doors elsewhere so it made sense to try and match them.

The plasterboard panels were decorated in a neutral colour commercial wall covering to match the rest of the building. The vinyl wall covering is tougher than a painted panel and the vinyl can be wiped clean so it is very durable. There are many different shades, colours and patterns and a wide choice of costs as well, and choice really depends on how brave you are in chosen the right design. Most people just chose the basic colours and put the colour in the furniture screens, carpets and chairs.

The difficulty with this project was that the partitions had to be cut around the beams that were strung across the office space.  The glazed fronts to the offices therefore had to be door head height so that the plasterboard above the windows could be cut out. The building also had a floor that was uneven, the important factor being that visually the glazed panels looked straight and so the line was put in with a laser. The window had a film design which at the current time of entering this project on the website had not been fitted.

Drawing work

In this case we needed to work out exactly the materials were needed first in order to cost it, but secondly to check with the customer what they wanted. This meant we had to produce a drawing. Sometimes we do not show this to the client, just in case they take all of our work and give it to someone else to price which some customers do. There is no appreciation that sometimes it can be actually quite difficult to work things out and they do not put a value on this, and we do not charge for smaller drawing work. There is a subtle difference between drawing work, space planning and visuals, we have a separate page if you want to find out more by clicking this link.

We ensured that the customer was aware that with a 50mm wide system there are compromises on the sound performance of the system. In fact, the enclosed area worked out well for them. The other side of the glass was a main walkway, the desks inside the rooms were not right up against the glass so noise transference was quite small. Our main concern was matching the positions of the vision panels on the doors. In the end the doors matched fine and the customer was pleased with the final result.

Why Demountable Partitions?

  1. They look much better than conventional stud and plasterboard partitions. Glass can be introduced greatly improving the way light gets into an office space.
  2. Using demountable partitioning is tax efficient in that they are seen as movable items. They can be treated differently in writing down allowances in the accounts. Please click on this link for a bit more information.
  3. We can also lease Demountable Partitions as they are movable. This spreads the costs of having the work done as Demountable Partitions always cost more than customers think.
  4. Leasing of demountable partitions is very tax efficient and Cre8tive can provide illustrations, please contact us for further information.
  5. Most landlords insist on demountable partitions being used for offices. It is much easier to take them out should the tenant renting the space leave for any reason. Another benefit is that it saves making a huge amount of mess and destruction that would be need with a conventional stud and plasterboard constructed wall.

Office Refurbishment in Chippenham

Redlynch Leisure wanted to have a new open plan space to have an office design and fit out carried out. The initial space was completely empty and required a complete design with fitting out work, consisting of Interior space planning and design, demountable partitions, storage wall, carpets, creation of canteen area, flooring, decoration and minor electrical work. We also supplied all of the office furniture which was in keeping with the design of the building.

Design and drawing work

We came up with a few different ideas, the customer in the end went for a more traditional layout.

The office design and fit out project also required us to submit plans to Building Control for approval which we obtained on behalf of the client. The major aspects of this office refurbishment project is in using materials which were complimentary to the design of the building. We chose Komfort Klassic timber demountable system which matched the finish of the barn styled windows. The storage wall was chosen to take the place of a partition wall and a cupboard, saving on cost, and fitting with the finishes of the partitions, outside of building and the furniture, which we also supplied and installed. We also had to alter the plumbing and move a radiator in order to install the partitioning. We provided a complete package and all the customer had to do was to move in.

We also put the customer in touch with an IT company and telephone systems company to handle the requirements which we work closely with in projects.

Storage Wall

We designed into this project a product called storage wall. Storage wall combines the function of a cupboard with a partition wall. So we build it up to the ceiling and as the width is around 400mm the thickness of the wall with the contents gives really good sound insulation. It is still demountable, so can be taken down and rebuilt.

Why Demountable Partitioning?

Another key element of this work was that the partitions had to be demountable. There are several reasons why this type of partition should be used in office projects:

  1. Demountable partitions are tax efficient in that they are seen as movable items and so can be treated differently in writing down allowances in the accounts, we can also lease elements of office refurbishments. Anything that can be moved.
  2. We mainly lease Demountable Partitions as they are movable, this spreads the costs of having the work done as Demountable Partitions always cost more than customers think.
  3. Leasing of movable items is very tax efficient and Cre8tive can provide illustrations, please contact us for further information.
  4. Most landlords insist on demountable partitions in an office as it is much easier to take them out should the tenant renting the space leave for any reason. The benefit is that is saves making a huge amount of mess and destruction that would be need with a conventional stud and plasterboard constructed wall.

Cre8tive have carried out many office refurbishments over the years and all need to have some design and drawing work done initially and is the most important aspect of a project that needs to be  carried out in order to carry out a project properly. The existing office space had small narrow corridors, a dated partitions system and dark green colours making the space very dark.

We redesigned the office space and used beam system furniture to get computer cables off the floor. We also created a tea point in a cupboard and added some features in the carpet for some added interest in the design. All of the walls had to be redecorated. The refurbishment project consisted of Komfort Kameo 75mm demountable partition system, Gaskell carpet tiles, Armstrong suspended ceiling and Sebastien Indulgence furniture.

Included:

  • Design and drawing work
  • Stripping out of existing
  • Demountable Partitioning
  • Electrical work
  • Air conditioning
  • Flooring
  • Kitchen / tea point
  • Office Furniture

Drawing and Design Work

Working out what the customer wanted meant we had to drawer what they had and come up with several layouts to explore how the office would work for them.

Suspended Ceiling

The difficulty with this suspended ceiling project was that all of the work had to be carried out off two mobile towers as the ceiling was for a squash court. The tiles had to be plasterboard tiles for robustness, and the tiles had to be clipped into the grid so that they did not move. The grid was also suspended from rigid hangers rather than wire to make the ceiling as rigid as possible. Many people think that anyone can put up a suspended ceiling but there are only a few that can do it properly, we see many suspended ceiling projects which have sagged and you can see dips in the ceiling.

We fit all our suspended ceilings in with a laser, so the surface is completely flat. We also give advice on certain types of tiles as you can fit a cheap ceiling but the actual tile may not be correct application. In this case a standard mineral fiber tile would not have lasted, and as the squash court was in an outbuilding, there was a chance of moisture getting into the tiles. As soon as moisture gets into the fibers the tile will sag and you will see shadows on the corners of the tiles.

The other problem was that it was a bit dark initially as we were waiting for some temporary lights to be delivered.

Suspended Ceiling Projects

There are many different types of suspended ceilings and the range of tiles now can be quite baffling. The current trend is to focus on sound performance within the office and this can be dealt with by using a special tile.

Suspended ceilings are used for a number of reasons, they are quick to install and mean that all the services required for offices such as pipework for plumbing and air conditioning, as well as power and data can be hidden out of sight. Access to the services is also much easier than using a traditional plasterboard or MF type ceiling as the ceiling tiles just need to be lifted from the grid.

There are many offices with old fissured tiles, with sagging tiles and a mottled grey look they make the office look very dated. We like to fit nice white clean tiles to give a fresh look.

If you want to improve sound performance for a space, or want to hide some services, or have any questions about suspended ceiling types please give us a call on 01380 73 88 44

Take Down and Rebuild Partitions in Bracknell

Take Down and Rebuild Partitions in Bracknell

Client: EB Mind Bracknell
Value: £1.8k

Take down and rebuild is a common activity with demountable partitioning. The existing office space was very small and as well as re-positioning a door, we had to build a new office in the opposite corner to match the existing design and colour scheme. The first task was to draw what they had, so measure everything, take lots of photographs, look at what the wanted to do, and then work out how many bits we create by talking the walls down, and then work out how many new parts we need in order to create the new. The system used in this project is a 50mm wide demountable partition system, offering a good value product which visually can still look good. In this case the partitions had to match the existing, but all of the frames and solid panels can be made from a wide range of colours and finishes.

This project is exactly a take down and rebuild project, but with a bit more added. Although this sounds complicated, it is exactly what demountable partitioning is designed to be, you do need not destroy the partition when you take it down, as you can re-use most of the parts. The only provision is that the re-built demountable partition needs to be in the same area with the same ceiling height.

50mm wide Glazed Partitioning in Swindon

Client: Scots of Stow
Value: £3.9k

50mm wide Demountable Partitioning

50mm wide glazed office partitioning was the obvious solution to the customers requirements. The customer wanted some demountable partitioning to turn and unused office space into an open plan office space and a directors office. The system we recommended  was a 50mm wide glazed demountable system from Komfort that included a lot of glazed walls to allow light through and keep the area open and bright.

Privacy was a factor; the customer wanted each office and the meeting rooms to be private as possible. we used a wider 75mm system on the adjoining walls, and integral blinds in the glazed partitions so each office and meeting room could be enclosed when they needed. The walls were finished in a pale gray vinyl and the doors in a nice beech veneer to add some colour.

Drawing and planning work

Always important to measure what we have, by laying out where the partitions were needed, straight away we could see that the lights needed to be moved.

Storage wall with demountable partitions

Cole Easdon approached us with a couple of requirements for their new office in Swindon. The first was to construct a couple of office but they also had a major problem with storage. We realised that we could utilise the full height of the ceiling and use a product called storage wall, which is a full height cupboard constructed and fitted to the underside of the suspended ceiling which acts like a partition. We then built some demountable partitions off the storage wall to solve the problem.
