Demountable partitions
The flexibility to switch up a space can really transform it; suddenly, it can serve your changing needs and fulfil new purposes. Traditionally, this has always been something of an ordeal; design and construction can be time consuming, disruptive, and expensive, not to mention permanent and therefore restrictive. That’s where demountable partitions can be the perfect solution – and their popularity is growing.
Here at Komfort, we’ve embraced these flexible room partitions, designing and manufacturing them to change spaces within a number of industries. It’s our pleasure to be demountable partition manufacturers that architects can rely on and businesses can benefit from for years to come.
What is demountable partitioning?
Demountable partition walls separate an internal space in a non-permanent way; these modular panels are non-load bearing, and can be relocated without damaging the building’s structure.
Demountable office partitioning systems allow a much greater degree of flexibility than traditional partitioning, as they can simply be unscrewed and moved to make a space perfect for purpose. There is no need for expensive or disruptive construction work, such as you would endure if you needed to change traditional partitioning around.
One of the benefits of internal demountable partitioning is its versatility, and you’ll find that it’s commonly used within buildings such as offices, retail spaces, universities, schools, and libraries.
What are the advantages of demountable partition wall systems?
Flexibility and adaptability
The very nature of a demountable partition makes it a game changer for spaces that need to adapt and change, just as the organisations that use them do. In a world of flexible working, the amount of people using a space will fluctuate. So, whether it’s to accommodate increased breakout areas, or dividing the office to make way for a new or restructured team, moveable partitions make it possible.
Cost effectiveness
When a space no longer serves its purpose, the alternatives can be expensive; moving things around, or moving altogether. Demountable partitions are an affordable way to change a space without finding new premises or going through costly construction. The partitions are easy to detach and reattach, so no need to pay for deliveries of new product , or hunt around for a new lease.
Reusability and sustainability
Repurposing what you already have isn’t a trend; it’s a way of life we all need to adopt. This can extend to your partitioning, which allows you to continue working in the best environment, without wasting materials and energy on constructing a whole new layout. Repurposing and reusing systems hugely help to reduce the carbon footprint of a project and help to contribute to a closed-loop system.
Custom designs
Demountable partitions are designed to be arranged exactly how you want them, so no longer are you bound by the limitations of traditional dividers. With a range of materials, finishes, and colours available, your space can not only work for you, but look exactly how you want it to, too.
Acoustic performance
Demountable acoustic partitions can absorb sounds, making for a quieter, calmer environment. The flexibility of the partitions themselves mean that you can easily make a certain area within your space more soundproof, making peace and quiet all the easier to obtain.
Convenience of installation
Having your space rearranged has traditionally put your business or organisation out of action in a physical sense for days or even weeks; this simply isn’t the case with demountable partitions. Due to their easy installation, things can be switched up in a matter of hours, without the mess and disruption you might have previously expected.

What settings can benefit from demountable partitions?
Open-plan offices and coworking spaces
Whether you’re a small team of 10, a large corporation, or you run a coworking space, demountable office partitions can introduce some much-needed structure. Desk banks, breakout spaces, meeting rooms, single offices, and even kitchen areas can be separated and customised using demountable partitions, with the beauty of easy reconfiguration as the business grows and changes.
Commercial buildings and retail stores
Large spaces designed to stand up to the footfall of the public can benefit hugely from demountable partitions, particularly as the needs of the space change. Shops and showrooms can easily switch up their displays, hotels can create cosy nooks in communal areas, and manufacturing premises can divide the main production floor from office areas.
Educational buildings
A pleasant, well-thought out environment is important to a person’s education. Whether they’re getting their head down in the library, taking an exam, or taking part in group activities, demountable partitions can separate a space, and make it the ideal one in which to learn. From playgroups to universities and adult learning institutions, we see moveable wall partitions play a huge role in making a space fit for purpose.
Healthcare and medical facilities
Dividing treatment spaces, wards, waiting rooms, and consultation booths can provide much-needed flexibility and privacy within a space. With pressures on health providers to keep things affordable, a relocatable partition system can help keep costs down, and patient needs met.
Key considerations when exploring demountable partitions
Future flexibility
What’s required of a space now may not always be the case; changes in staffing levels and the use of the building may be on the cards. It’s important to consider this when you’re deciding whether moveable office partitions are right for your project; they could prove very useful later down the line.
Examples of application
Getting a good idea of how the products you’re exploring can work for you is crucial in making a decision that will pay off long into the future. For example, our Polar Kreate moveable partition screens, which feature panel modules that can be interchanged from glass, laminate, timber, steel, or fabric, is perfect in a range of settings. Seeing it in situ, such as its use in Domestic and General’s premises, can give architects a real feel for what relocatable partitions can achieve.
Optional extras
It’s not just different materials that can make a moveable partition wall system transform a space; optional extras can customise it too. For example, living walls can add striking depth and improve air quality, pinnable fabric can create noticeboards, and melamine faced chipboard (MFC) panels open the door to a range of dynamic looks.
