Commercial Partition Walls Guide

When you own or rent space for your business, you want to make sure that you can get the most usage out of every square foot. As the saying goes, “time is money,” but space is money, too. If you have a larger space than you need, or may not be using the space you have as efficiently as possible, and this means you’re essentially throwing money down the drain. Fortunately, there are ways to partition interior spaces for commercial use and benefit from more distinct demarcations.

That said, if you’ve never considered commercial partition walls before, you probably have a lot of questions. For instance, how can partition wall systems make a commercial space better? How do commercial partition walls differ from residential partition walls? Is it better to use a folding wall or retractable wall for your business? Finally, where can you find high-quality commercial partition wall systems?

In today’s guide, we will answer all of these questions and more, so let’s get started!

How Commercial Partition Wall Systems Are Used

While you might think it’s a hassle to have partition wall systems installed in your commercial space, these walls can make your space much more flexible in a wide range of industries and scenarios. Partition wall systems can create incredibly functional spaces for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Here are just a few places where commercial partitions can be put to excellent use:

• Offices - Offices have notoriously complex spacing needs. You may need temporary conference rooms, individual offices, or separate work areas for different employees. In any case, partition walls can make it so that you can adapt to changing needs in the office.
• Warehouses - Warehouses are often giant empty spaces that need to be organized to fit the needs of your business. Partition wall systems can help you create distinct storage areas or workspaces, making every square foot of your building more efficient and dedicated to a specific function.
• Food Courts - Commercial wall systems are perfect for creating more space for new businesses. Rather than tearing down existing parts of your food court to change the space, you can add in one or more wall systems so that multiple restaurants or food stalls can be accommodated.
• Educational Spaces - Whether you’re running a school that needs more classrooms or an educational institute that could use a lecture hall for visiting speakers, a commercial system is one of the best options. You can quite literally customize the learning environment and fit it to the needs of different events and groups.
• Restaurants - Patrons increasingly turn to restaurants for special events like birthdays and anniversaries, as well as more informal things like trivia night or karaoke. Partition walls can allow for private dining rooms and separate spaces for people to enjoy unique events and gatherings, separate from the regular dining area.
• Hospitals - While hospitals typically have private spaces for patients to be treated, there’s always a chance that the space won’t be enough on its own. Partition walls can be used for a variety of purposes in hospitals, from temporary triage areas during an emergency to additional hospital rooms and overflow waiting areas.
• Retail Stores - Partition walls are perfect for retail shops, particularly clothing stores, as they can be used to make changing rooms or storage areas for extra inventory.
• Hotels - Hotels often have large conference rooms and banquet halls to host large-scale events. However, if you can’t adapt your space to the needs and budget of potential clients, you could end up losing out on profitable events. Partition wall systems make it easier to change your space or even create multiple spaces to host more than one event simultaneously.

How Commercial Partition Walls Are Different

At first glance, you might not see much of a difference between residential and commercial partition walls. In general, they function the same way. Both types of partition walls can be extended to create a smaller space or retracted to expand your space as needed. However, there are some important distinctions to consider:

• Durability - Commercial partition walls are generally made to be more durable than their residential counterparts. Since these walls may be put in warehouses or areas where they’re more susceptible to damage, commercial partition wall systems need to be stronger and able to continue providing value in the face of more (potential) wear and tear.
• Quality - Part of what makes commercial partition walls more durable is the enhanced quality. The materials are simply better and stronger. This is often a result of using thick, sturdy vinyl, as opposed to lower-quality materials that you might find in a more temporary folding partition.
• Functionality - Lastly, commercial retractable walls are designed specifically for the needs of businesses. For example, you might need a quiet space for certain customers, in which case you’ll require a thick, soundproof wall that is large enough to fill a commercial space from floor to ceiling.

Folding Partition Walls Vs Retractable Walls

As a business owner, you’re always looking for the easiest way to achieve a particular result without breaking the bank. For this reason, some commercial space owners opt for a quick and easy folding partition wall. These types of “walls” are far more temporary and can be set up and taken down without the need for professional installation. However, the accordion-style partition is often flimsy and not ideal for many different commercial spaces. The materials tend to be far weaker, and more likely to let through light and sound. So, while they will technically separate spaces, they may not offer the level of demarcation that you need. It’s also important to note that folding partitions have to be folded and unfolded by hand; very few models have automated expansion and retraction. This is why they tend to be cheaper than retractable walls, but also less able to withstand regular wear and tear.

Alternatively, commercial retractable wall systems often come at a higher cost, and for good reason. They are installed so that you get a modular design that automatically seals to keep out light and sound. Not every type or model is soundproof, but you can generally rest easy knowing that you’re getting a much stronger and higher-quality product that is designed to last for years to come. As an added bonus, retractable walls can be opened and closed with the click of a button.
