Project and Facilities Managers need efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and minimal disruption for successful renovation projects. While many still use traditional drywall, its hidden costs and inefficiencies are becoming clear. As a result, more professionals now turn to temporary wall systems.
Our recent webinar, Rejecting Drywall’s Hidden Costs: Advancing Temporary Containment, showed how STARC’s temporary construction walls excel in four key areas: Budgets & Timelines, Customer Experience, Jobsite Safety & Security, and Sustainability.
Temporary Construction Walls Cut Costs and Save Time
Installing traditional drywall demands intensive labor and time, often requiring crews working for days. For example, setting up 400 linear feet of 10-foot-tall drywall takes about 224 hours and needs many materials and tools. However, STARC’s high-quality reusable temporary wall systems slash this time to just 16 hours with fewer materials and simpler tools.
Moreover, these reusable temporary walls lower bid costs because teams can use them repeatedly. Instead of throwing away materials after each phase, crews can move and reuse the walls. Therefore, project managers and contractors who choose STARC walls typically see major savings over time.
Better Customer Experience
Construction greatly affects building occupants, especially in sensitive spaces like healthcare facilities and data centers. While traditional drywall work creates disruptive noise, reusable temporary wall systems cut noise levels by half, creating a calmer environment.
Furthermore, these temporary walls look professional and blend smoothly with existing spaces. Unlike drywall’s often unpolished appearance, STARC walls maintain the area’s visual appeal. Additionally, these high-quality temporary walls support graphics, which helps guide foot traffic during renovations.
Temporary Walls Systems Boost Safety and Security
During renovations, safety comes first. Traditional drywall often releases dust and debris, which compromise air quality and infection control in healthcare settings. In contrast, STARC’s solutions meet and exceed ICRA Class IV/V requirements, ensuring better infection prevention.
These reusable temporary walls offer easy-to-clean surfaces and create minimal dust. Additionally, all STARC temporary wall systems meet strict fire safety rules like ASTM E84, E119, and NFPA 241. This compliance protects both building occupants and workers while reducing accident risks.
Clear Environmental Benefits
Traditional drywall creates significant environmental problems, with millions of tons of gypsum waste filling landfills yearly. On the other hand, STARC’s reusable wall systems help the environment by cutting construction waste and carbon emissions. While 100 feet of regular drywall creates up to one ton of landfill waste, STARC’s solutions offer years of reuse.
Built using 100% renewable energy, STARC’s products are 95% recyclable by weight. So, these reusable containment walls help organizations meet their environmental goals while maintaining high performance.
