Temporary walls for faster commissioning and reconfigurations
In a live data center, downtime isn’t an option. STARC’s modular wall systems move at the speed of data, designed for rapid installation and airtight connections, making them ideal for temporary hot aisle containment testing environments during commissioning or reconfigurations of leased and co-location server spaces. These systems protect equipment, maintain clean zones, and keep crews productive all while safeguarding uptime and your bottom line.
What Undisrupted Uptime Looks Like
Data center construction demands precision and speed. STARC’s modular walls for data centers create airtight containment for fit-outs, reconfigurations, and system testing — without slowing operations. Our reusable data center wall panels and temporary partitions install fast, adapt to any layout, and protect uptime, profitability, and the planet.
Speed Up HAC & System Testing
Install, test, and re-install modular walls as needed during multi-phase commissioning. Airtight seals and quick reconfiguration make testing cleaner and more efficient.
Adapt to Any Spec
From slab-to-ceiling to permanent HAC, adjustable panels and extensions meet your containment requirements without custom fabrication or downtime.
Reconfigure Without Risk
Add tenants or modify layouts while keeping existing operations protected. Lockable, code-compliant containment maintains security and separation between zones.
Reduce Waste, Save Costs
Reusable walls replace single-use drywall, cutting landfill waste, labor hours, and material costs. Most projects break even after just a few uses — every reuse beyond that is pure savings.
Real Results: Data Center Deployments
From tenant buildouts to full-scale upgrades, STARC’s data center construction barriers and renovation temporary walls have been trusted across mission-critical environments. Each data center wall system provides clean, quiet containment that keeps networks live and projects on schedule. Explore real-world examples of how STARC data center barrier walls deliver performance, protection, and ROI — without ever taking systems offline.
LiteBarrier: One Wall. Every Data Hall.
Whether it’s a hot aisle containment fit-out, a phased hall turnover, or a co-location reconfiguration, LiteBarrier installs fast, seals tight, and looks the part. It's wall you need to protect critical equipment and uptime during every changeout, expansion, or upgrade.
Airtight by Design
Top and bottom gaskets create dust-free, pressurized containment that keeps clean zones truly clean.
Fast to Deploy
Install 100 feet in an hour with a single tool — faster turnovers, less downtime.
Ceiling Height Adaptable
Telescoping panels extend from 6’10” to 10’3”, or up to 14’6” with extensions.
Built to Last
Anodized aluminum frames and reinforced polymer panels handle repeated reconfigurations with ease.
Reusable by Nature
Move panels from project to project — reducing material waste and improving ROI with every reuse.
ROI That Never Goes Offline
STARC walls don’t just protect uptime — they pay for themselves. Faster installs, repeat reuses, and airtight containment add up to measurable savings across every buildout and reconfiguration.

FAQs
Temporary construction walls for HAC buildouts are part of a build strategy. Builders and owners alike benefit from test-as-you-go heating and cooling integrated systems testing for greenlighting the revenue-generating data halls in phases. STARC’s LiteBarrier is an alternative to wasteful traditional stick-built partitions that require weeks of labor and significant coordination with subcontractors. Using STARC’s reusable data center containment walls ensures protection from dust, debris, and temperature fluctuations—keeping uptime and compliance intact throughout renovation or expansion.
LiteBarrier and StackBarrier are practical alternatives for temporary hot-aisle containment sections within a phased data hall buildout. Assemble and disassemble with ease. Unlike temporary drywall or plastic sheeting, STARC modular walls for data centers create airtight barriers that install quickly and cleanly. These data center construction barriers minimize downtime, reduce risk to sensitive equipment, and reduce waste—all while maintaining strict facility access control.
Durable by design, STARC’s award-winning temporary construction walls stand the test of time. Long-time customers report dozens, sometimes hundreds of re-uses. Every 100 feet of STARC temporary walls used saves an estimated 5 tons of landfill waste. Each panel can be reconfigured and redeployed, lowering lifecycle costs and reducing material waste compared to single-use drywall barriers. That’s a great sustainable construction win!
STARC’s data center temporary partitions seal tightly around ceilings, floors, and raised flooring systems to prevent dust and airflow disruption. This enables critical systems to stay operational during construction, ensuring zero downtime and full environmental compliance throughout renovation phases.
The modular design of STARC data center barrier walls allows for flexible configurations—straight runs, corners, offsets, and even negative air setups. Panels integrate with doors, pressure monitoring ports, and containment accessories to match each data hall or equipment layout precisely.
STARC’s data center wall systems are engineered for performance: reusable aluminum-frame panels with airtight seals, cleanable surfaces, and sound attenuation up to 40 dB. They install fast, meet fire and life-safety codes, and eliminate the mess and waste of traditional drywall—making them the most durable, sustainable choice for mission-critical environments.
