Partitions

SUPALUX® partitions provide periods of fire resistance from 30 minutes up to 240 minutes, depending on the specification. Our design capabilities allow us to offer a range of lightweight and slim line partition systems. Lighter weight partition systems reduce floor loading, whilst still maintaining performance. The use of slim line construction is particularly advantageous in commercial property development where developers are able to maximise revenue through increasing the net lettable area of the property.
