Partition walls for office refurbishment: fire rating, acoustics, and layout flexibility
Published 10 Feb 2026
Office refurbishments live or die on how well the plan translates to built reality. Metal stud partition walls give you layout flexibility, but specification details — fire rating, acoustic performance, door sets, and glazing — need to be right from day one.
Single vs twin wall systems
Single stud partitions suit many cellular offices. Twin wall or staggered stud arrangements increase acoustic separation between meeting rooms and open plan areas.
Fire resistance
Corridors, stair enclosures, and tenant separations often require FD30 or FD60 performance. We install tested system build-ups and document fire stopping at penetrations — not as an afterthought.
Glazed partitions
Glass meeting rooms bring light deep into floorplates. Early coordination of track, glazing, and ceiling bulkheads avoids costly rework when M&E routes clash.
Whether you are reconfiguring one floor or repositioning an entire building, our team surveys, designs build-ups to spec, and delivers snagging-free handover packs.
