The longer a construction project takes, the higher its cost. While large-scale jobs require time, there are effective ways to cut downtime and boost profitability. One simple yet impactful solution? Temporary construction walls.
8 Ways Temporary Wall Systems Minimize Downtime on Jobsites
1. Temporary Walls Install Faster
Remodeling work often can’t start until construction areas are properly contained. Drywall installation, however, can take days. With high-quality temporary wall systems like RealWall™, LiteBarrier™, FireblockWall™, and StackBarrier™, you can install a 100-foot wall in just about an hour.
Features such as expandable panels, locking doors, and ceiling grid guides simplify installation, eliminating the need for custom workarounds.
2. Panels Eliminate Construction Mess
Traditional drywall generates dust and debris that can spread throughout a site. In contrast, temporary wall systems like STARC’s prefabricated panels arrive ready to install and are highly effective at containing dust and dangerous pathogens—keeping your site cleaner and safer.
3. Quiet Installation
Certain environments, such as hospitals or offices, demand minimal disruption. Installing temporary construction walls is a fast and quiet process—no hammering or sawing required. Unlike drywall, this work can often be performed during regular business hours, saving both time and labor costs.
STARC’s sound-attenuating panels also reduce construction noise by up to 50%, ensuring a quieter jobsite.
4. Airtight Seals for Containment
STARC’s temporary wall systems are engineered to create airtight seals, making them ideal for containment areas, including those requiring negative air pressure. Unlike drywall, which can suffer from gaps or damage that halt progress, damaged panels can be quickly swapped out for new ones—keeping your project on track.
5. Faster Tear Down with Zero Waste
Dismantling drywall leaves behind significant waste and cleanup. Temporary construction walls, however, are designed for easy disassembly without debris. There’s no waste to dispose of, no extended cleanup, and no additional disposal costs, helping you save both time and money.
6. Built for Reuse
Durability is a hallmark of STARC’s temporary wall systems. These panels are built for heavy reuse across numerous projects. Their modular design means they can be reconfigured to suit nearly any construction need, offering unmatched versatility for future use.
7. Enhanced ROI
STARC’s temporary wall systems typically pay for themselves within three to four phases of reuse. Contractors can continue charging for containment while eliminating recurring material and labor costs, turning temporary walls into a profit center.
8. Avoid Supply Chain Issues
The construction industry has faced supply chain disruptions, price volatility, and labor shortages in recent years. By relying on temporary wall systems, you gain stability and predictability—ensuring you have the materials you need, when you need them, at consistent costs.
