Modular Wall Systems For Construction
Prefabricated modular walls that limit the disruption of renovation
Used in commercial office settings, airports, universities and healthcare facilities – where keeping patients, caregivers and staff protected is always top of mind – our premium containment systems are engineered to limit the disruption of commercial renovation.
Whether your job requires a lightweight dust barrier, or a fully enclosed anteroom, our mechanical components and tongue-and-groove design guarantee airtight seals. This approach differs from alternative containment methods, which rely on knobs or zippers, and often create as many problems as they solve.
Choosing the right prefabricated modular wall begins with refining your selection criteria.
A number of factors should be considered when evaluating a modular wall system, including:
- Air quality & sensitivity
- Installation timeframe
- Ceiling heights
- Activities during renovation
- Visual & aesthetic needs
