How can acoustic partition screens benefit the space?
A space without any soft furnishings has excess echo and makes everything louder. As an office is pieced together, the echo reduces, yet the noise can remain.
In a working space that revolves around phone calls and high customer interaction, noise levels tend to be quite high. High noise levels have been ruled one of the biggest office distractions, thus having a negative impact on the way we work.
By incorporating acoustic materials, the noise can be absorbed. Sound absorption works by removing some of the sound waves and reducing the rebound back into the open space. Whilst mobile screens can’t be used as a fully sound proofing option, noise can be reduced in an attractive and functional way.
Reducing noise has the potential to increase productivity, create a happier space and maximise concentration levels.
Optimising the portable aspect
Once the castor feet have been added, the portable partitions have a brand-new use. More flexibility and as much movement as needed. The portability is an asset to make use of in ever changing work areas. The castor wheels fit into the base of the screen, and when fitted can be lightly pushed to move and redirect into the open plan areas. Move single panels or a cluster of screens to create a temporary office wall to form working nooks, break zones and individual work stations.
Use both the acoustics and mobility to creatively use space on a temporary and permanent basis.

What are portable acoustic screens?
We've combined two sought after requirements when looking to divide work space, and we've created a versatile solution that can be repositioned as and when the need changes.
Our wide range of acoustic screens are normally provided with stability feet for a stationary stance. However, by switching to a castor wheel the acoustic properties can be moved around the space with ease, ensuring the foam and fabrics are in the most effect space.
Acoustic screens are used as a noise control system, working to absorb sound in the areas that need it most. Noise is one of the biggest work place distractions, and with the right height, visual distractions can be decreased too.
Will portable solutiona reduce noise?
Yes - this is the main benefits of the panels. Manufactured with 12mm and 24mm acoustic foam, the panels offer varying levels of support. The portable screens help to reduce echo, reflections and improve acoustic comfort. The effectiveness of the screens also depends on the environment, other soft furnishings, the number of panels and placement.
How stable are the screens once assembled?
Firstly, minimal assembly is required. Simply slot the feet into the base and the panel is instantly portable and fully secure. There are arms spanning from both sides of the base, each arm finished with a castor wheel and includes a locking function. Once in position, activate the lock for no movement in high traffic areas.
Which height is right for my space?
The choice of height will determine the visibility throughout the divided space. Available options start from 1200mm high, with some options reaching 2000mm. Choose between the low level and full height cover to appropriately partition open plan working environments.
