How to divide open plan space
The range consists of various panels widths and when using the linking strip can be connected to create custom widths. What’s more, the flexibility of the link strip allows for angles and different panel placements.
Supplied with a 2 way linking strip and the option to purchase a 3 or 4 way link strip to adjust the arrangement.
Attach different panel widths together to create a barrier, acoustic pod or meeting pod.
All panels are provided with trip and wheel chair friendly stabilizing feet that slot into the base. The provided feet have a raised profile, acting as a safety feature when used in open spaces. Other feet options include round bases (when used in a configuration) and castor wheels. The castor wheel turn a static screen into a portable solution for movability and flexibility.
Creating a custom layout means getting creative with the panels and placement. As the Concept range has more design options than most, it's important to note all Concept panels are compatible. Combine the 2 & 3 part panels to bring a whole host of colour and sizes together. Resulting in a tailor made dividing system.
Connecting straight and curve partitions elevates design possibilities and brings more options to the table. The curve panel creates a smooth corner panel, ensuring full and half office cubicles are easy to create.
Adding print to the Concept partition screens
Adding a Perspex section to the 3 part Concept partitions can present a new branding opportunity. On either the clear or frosted acrylic, it’s possible to add a printed logo, text or image.
Use this section to add an interesting feature into the workplace. When paired with the chosen fabric colours the printed acrylic becomes a focal point of the divider configuration.
Incorporating acoustics into the workplace
Firstly, acoustic screens can be added to any space that suffers from excess noise. When noise volumes have taken over the space and have become more of a distraction it’s time to take action.
Acoustic panels are designed specifically to reduce noise. This is done with the 12mm acoustic foam and high quality fabrics that have the texture to absorb sound waves. Soft fabrics thrive in loud spaces by lessening the sound and reducing echoes.
Rap Office Screens are a UK Manufacturer and strive to make office partitions with high quality materials, for long term use. Sound absorbing panels have the potential to change the atmosphere, creating a comfortable working space.
The Concept screens feature a powder coated aluminium frame that is as customisable as the fabric. Available in black, white and silver, the frame is a big part of the design and accentuates the overall appearance. Because of the frame, we've been able to add the linking feature which is needed to connect the various panels together.

How to assemble the Concept Acoustic Screens?
We've made the assembly easier than ever, requiring only two steps and one is optional. Each panel is supplied with its own set of trip and wheelchair friendly feet. These feet have a pole section that fits into the predrilled holes at the base of the screen. Once fitted the screen is ready to use and position.
If a larger area is being covered and you have multiple screens, it’s possible the 2-way link strips are needed. Again, these are supplied with each screen and slot into the aluminium frame for a secure hold.
What are the benefits of using acoustic screens?
- Reduced noise levels
- Improved concentration
- Modern designs to add to office design
- Wide range of fabric colours
- Helps to minimise sound and visual distractions
How do the panels affect noise?
As with any soft furnishing, the fabric absorbs sound and removes the echo from the space. The combination of high quality and acoustic foam creates the ideal barrier for open plan areas where noise is distractions and makes it harder to perform day to day jobs.
12mm foam is used on both sides of the solid core, of which has been tested to show the effectiveness against varying noise levels.
