The evolution of partition walls

From simple separators to multifunctional solutions

According to Gensler’s recent ‘Global Workplace Survey Comparison 2023’ report, more than 70 per cent of companies have restructured their offices in the last five years to foster collaboration and flexibility. In this context, the evolution of partition walls is one element of this transformation.

From fixed walls to modular solutions

In the past, offices were characterised by fixed masonry or plasterboard walls that limited the flexibility of spaces. With the advent of modular walls, it became possible to reconfigure rooms according to operational needs, favouring adaptability and efficiency. The rapid change of space layout without structural intervention optimises the use of available space.

The main functions of partition walls include not only separation, but also:

• Sound insulation. Sound-absorbing materials reduce noise and improve concentration.
• Integrated technology. Screens, lighting systems and smart devices built into the walls.
• Improved employee well-being. For example, with the integration of natural elements or vertical greenery.
