Portable partitions are rolling, mobile, folding room dividers which provide temporary walls in place of traditional non mobile products such as operable walls, accordion partitions, cubicles, pipe and drape, and shoji screens. They fold and are on wheels enabling mobility and ease of storage. The portable wall partition has two full panel end members which provide support, rigidity, privacy and noise reduction.
Portable partitions are used to divide space quickly where non-mobile permanent room dividers may be unavailable or impracticable. They may also be used as a convenient sight divider to conceal door openings to restrooms, commercial kitchens and other backroom areas.
Modern day partitions often use features like expanding mechanical floor and ceiling seals to achieve a higher level of acoustic separation.
Famous quotes containing the words portable and/or partitions:
“Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Walls have cracks and partitions ears.”
—Chinese proverb.
