Four systems. Infinite solutions.
Before we show you why STARC leads the category, let’s get a little jargon out of the way. You might be wondering what a temporary construction wall actually is. Temporary construction walls — also called temporary construction wall systems, temporary partitions for construction, temporary construction partitions, or modular temporary walls — are reusable, free-standing wall panels that control dust, noise, debris, and visibility during renovation. STARC’s systems outperform drywall and plastic sheeting hand over fist, delivering cleaner job sites, faster installs, reliable containment, and the best-looking temporary walls for construction you’ll ever work with.

Built for Speed
One tool. One click. One less headache.
When walls are slow to set up, everything else slows down — your schedule, your operations, your bottom line. That goes for both drywall and “the other guys.” STARC’s temporary construction wall system is built for speed: panels lift, latch, and lock with a single tool, creating airtight construction wall barriers without the mess.
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 for Versatility
We bend so you don’t break
Renovations never happen in perfect spaces — but our modular temporary walls act like they do. Tight corners, sloped floors, weird ceilings — bring it on. STARC has the broadest and most adaptable lineup of temporary walls for construction, helping you keep more space usable, no matter the challenge.
Adjustable, Telescoping or Stackable Panels
Any ceiling, any height. Simply push panels up and lock in place to standard ceilings. Panel extensions or stackable panels for tall ceiling construction zones.
Up to Three Door Options
Swing, Sliding and Double doors for egress and pass-through! Designed to connect simply to panel separation runs. Lockable, viewing windows as options for occupied spaces.
Patented Flex Corners Designs
Angled Layouts Shouldn't Slow Your Start. Flex corners designed as part of the solutions.
Built for Durability
Tough. Tested. Trusted.
Job sites are unpredictable and tough on equipment. That’s why STARC’s reusable construction walls are engineered to hold up under pressure — and then some. From carts and ladders to daily crew traffic, these panels shrug off impacts that shred plastic or dent drywall. These walls are proven to perform.
Built for Protection
Compliance without compromise
Safety and compliance isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about real protection, proven performance — and with STARC, you’re getting systems that are miles ahead of anything else on the market.
Fire-rated assemblies
FireblockWall™ is the first reusable one-hour fire-rated temporary wall, tested to ASTM E119 and ASTM E84 standards. Across the lineup, RealWall™, LiteBarrier™, and StackBarrier™ all meet ASTM E84 for flame and smoke resistance.
Airtight by design
Double gaskets and precision tongue-and-groove joints create a sealed barrier that stops dust, debris, and contaminants cold — exceeding ICRA Class IV and Class V negative air precautions and hygiene requirements.
Built to block noise
ASTM E90 certified, RealWall is perfect for sound attenuation — allowing for less noise in places that need it most, like healing environments.

Why STARC beats the usual suspects
Not all temporary walls are created equal. From drywall to plastic sheets to one-off builds, the “alternatives” leave you with dust, downtime, and waste. STARC sets the standard with fast installs, reusable engineering, and professional results that protect revenue and keep operations undisrupted.
Vs. drywall
No dust, no waste, reusable, pays for itself fast. Drywall? One-and-done, messy, costly over time.
Vs. plastic sheeting
Plastic may be cheap, but it cheapens your project. STARC walls deliver the security, airflow control, and polished look that build client confidence and win the next job.
Vs. polycarbonate systems
Panels scratch, crack, and cloud over after a few uses. STARC’s aluminum and steel frames with reinforced polymer panels stay solid and sharp, project after project.
FAQs
Everything you need to know to be in the know.
A temporary construction wall is a reusable, free-standing barrier designed to control dust, noise, debris, and visibility during renovation. These temporary construction wall systems can include modular panels, doors, and accessories that create clean, safe separation in occupied spaces. They outperform plastic sheeting and drywall because they install faster, look professional, and maintain reliable containment throughout every phase of construction.
In most renovation scenarios, modular temporary walls outperform drywall. They set up faster, create less waste, and provide cleaner, more consistent containment. Unlike drywall, these systems require no demolition, eliminate dust from teardown, and can be reused dozens of times. For teams working in sensitive environments like hospitals, airports, or data centers, modular systems deliver superior appearance, adaptability, and total cost of ownership.
Yes. High-quality temporary construction wall panels are engineered to deliver airtight dust control and effective sound attenuation. STARC systems use top-and-bottom gaskets, tongue-and-groove joints, and durable panel cores to block particulates and reduce noise transfer. This makes them ideal for infection control, negative-air containment, and renovation work in sensitive or occupied operational spaces where disruption must be minimized.
Absolutely. STARC’s temporary partitions for construction are designed for reusability, durability, and long-term value. Each panel can be reused more than 50 times across multiple projects, reducing material waste and lowering lifecycle costs compared to drywall. Their rugged construction withstands carts, equipment, and daily jobsite traffic, making them reliable reusable construction walls for any environment that demands repeat performance.
STARC offers a full lineup of temporary construction wall systems, including RealWall for noise reduction and stability, LiteBarrier for lightweight speed, FireblockWall for fire-rated protection, and StackBarrier for tall or complex spaces. Together, these systems provide a wide range of temporary partitions for construction designed for airtight containment, flexibility, and performance across healthcare, commercial, and industrial renovations.
Use temporary construction partitions whenever renovation occurs in an occupied or sensitive space that requires clean separation from dust, debris, noise, or visual disruption. These barriers are ideal for hospitals, labs, offices, airports, data centers, and any facility where operations must continue during construction. They provide fast installation, reliable containment, and a professional appearance that traditional construction wall barriers can’t match.
