Desk Dividers Screens

We sell office screens made from a range of materials. Our fabric-covered office screens and partitions are made with an internal wooden core in chipboard, MFC or MDF (wood formed from wood chips, bonded into a particleboard, impregnated with paper and sometimes a resin). This wood is easy to cut and shape and is how most office furniture is constructed. This internal core is then upholstered in a fire-retardant fabric and finished with a PVC or aluminium frame. 

For our standard fabric-covered office partitions, the wooden screen core is cut to a specific size of height and width, depending on your requirements, on a wall-mounted panel saw. Any CNC work is then done, for edging, grooves or recesses needed for the particular style of partition. Once the screen is manufactured the core is upholstered in a durable, fire retardant furniture fabric. Some screen fabric requires gluing, especially if it is curved, or it is stapled to the wooden core. Stapling fabric to a core, or ‘carcass’ is the same construction method used in chair and sofa upholstery. At this point of construction, wipeable laminates, anti-microbial surface preparations or pinnable material can be applied.

Once cutting and fabric upholstery have been completed, partitions are then edged or framed with either a PVC or aluminium edging strips or framework to aid aesthetical appearance, rigidity or for linking capabilities. 

Linking sections and desk clamps are made from pressed steel that is powder coated for durability. At this stage these are added to your screen order which is then all carefully packed in protective polythene and protective cardboard. Foam corners are added to the corners of the screen to protect it during transit.
Our Perspex®, acrylic or toughened safety glass screens have a solid, clear central screen panel surrounded by a durable and aluminium frame for strength and stability. Frameless versions for desk dividers are also available.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the critical need for safety and hygiene screens for desks and in offices, the bestselling screen in our range is our Framed Clear Perspex Desk Dividers.

These modern, stylish and functional desk screens are available with either genuine Perspex or Tempered Safety Glass with an aluminium frame. They are available in 4 heights and 6 widths, complete with desk clamps to fit almost any table or desk.

To ensure you receive the correct size of desktop partition, please measure the width and depth of the top of your desk prior to ordering. The width will be the longest side and will be where your desktop attaches to along the back of the office desk. This will be the total width of the desk, normally 1400mm, 1600mm or 1800mm. The depth is how deep the desk is from the wall to where you sit. Depending on the construction of your desk, please also measure the thickness of the desktop as this will determine which clamp you will need to secure the screen to the desktop. 

Please check for obstructions such as legs and supporting structures that may require a deeper clamp than just the thickness of the wood used for the desk. We supply screen clamps in a variety of sizes to fit almost any office desk. Please get in touch with us to discuss the different options if our standard size clamps are not suitable for you.

Office Desk Dividers have long been seen as an economical way to partition a bank of desks into separate sections. Screens were chosen based on function, aesthetics, colour and budget; but COVID-19 has made us aware of the need for screens that are easy to keep clean and sanitised to help prevent the spread of any illness within the workplace. The choice of surface materials is important; glass or acrylic transparent desk divider screens are suitable as they can be wiped clean but they also allow light in, so not as claustrophobic as fabric-covered panels. Our partitions are manufactured with aluminium frameless edgings making them non-porous and easier to maintain.

Combining these newer, modern partitioning alternatives with a sensible office layout plan that ensures social distancing may help your business or organisation better control the virus and bacteria and facilitate a safer and more productive workplace.

Sound-absorbing acoustic partitions do work; their effectiveness depends on the size of the office, the number of people talking or on the phone at one time versus the amount, height and thickness of the acoustic screens as well as the number of panels used.

How and where you use your acoustic dividers is crucial; sound-absorbing screens and panelling should be placed where sound waves will bounce back. The panels and screening will absorb a percentage of the sound waves and sound reverberation will be reduced.

A combination of desk partitions, freestanding acoustic screens, panelling and ceiling mounted baffles will have the greatest effect. For advice and solutions on reducing your workplace noise, please get in touch with our team.

Our Office Screens and partitions are supplied with either a 1, 2 or 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. 

All our partitions are manufactured in the UK. We are proud of our products, quality and service; if you need any information regarding our range, please get in touch.
