Movable Partition Wall Quality Thick Track Material Accessories Load-bearing Capacity


The thickness of movable partition walls varies widely depending on their function, material, structural requirements, and performance needs (e.g., acoustic insulation, fire resistance, load-bearing capacity). Below is a detailed introduction to common thickness ranges and their applications:


1. Key Factors Influencing Thickness


A. Material CompositionAluminum/Glass PartitionsLightweight, suitable for modern offices; thickness typically 60–150 mm.
Gypsum Board/Plaster PartitionsCommon in interior spaces; thickness ranges from 80–150 mm.
Solid Wood/Composite PanelsThicker for durability and aesthetics; 100–200 mm or more.
Metal-Framed PartitionsHeavy-duty systems (e.g., for commercial use) may be 150–300 mm thick.
B. Performance RequirementsAcoustic InsulationThicker walls with sound-absorbing cores (e.g., mineral wool) achieve higher Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings. For example:
STC 35–45: Thickness of 100–150 mm (suitable for offices).
STC 50+: Thickness of 180–300 mm (required for conference rooms or auditoriums).
Fire ResistanceFire-rated partitions need thicker layers of non-combustible materials (e.g., gypsum, steel). Thickness often ranges from 100–200 mm for 1–2 hour fire ratings.
Load-Bearing CapacityStructural partitions (e.g., in commercial buildings) may require thicker profiles (200–400 mm) to support upper floors or equipment.
C. Application ScenarioResidential/Office UseThin partitions (60–150 mm) for flexibility and space efficiency.
Commercial/Industrial UseThicker partitions (150–300 mm+) for robustness and safety (e.g., hotels, convention centers, hospitals).



2. Common Thickness Ranges and Applications
The table below summarizes typical thicknesses for different movable partition types:


Partition TypeThickness RangeKey FeaturesIdeal Use Cases
Lightweight Aluminum/Glass60–120 mmSlim design, modern aesthetics, poor sound insulation.Office cubicles, meeting rooms, retail spaces.
Gypsum Board/Plaster80–150 mmModerate sound insulation, fire-resistant (with mineral wool cores).Interior walls in homes, schools, hospitals.
Wood/Composite Panels100–200 mmHigh durability, natural aesthetics, better sound absorption.Luxury offices, hotels, conference rooms.
Acoustic-Enhanced Partitions150–300 mmMulti-layered cores (foam, wool, density boards) for STC 50+ ratings.Recording studios, theaters, courtrooms.
Fire-Rated Partitions100–200 mmNon-combustible materials (e.g., calcium silicate, steel) for 1–4 hour ratings.Commercial buildings, stairwells, basements.
Heavy-Duty Metal/Concrete200–400 mm+Load-bearing, impact-resistant, suitable for extra-high spaces (>4 meters).

Industrial facilities, convention centers.



3. Special Considerations for Thickness


A. Height vs. ThicknessExtra-high partitions (e.g., >4 meters) often require thicker profiles (150–300 mm+) for stability. Thinner walls may flex or sag at greater heights, risking misalignment or structural failure.Example: A 6-meter-tall partition in a convention center might use 200 mm-thick steel-framed panels with internal bracing.
B. Customization OptionsManufacturers can tailor thickness for unique needs:Double-Wall Systems: Two separate partitions with an air gap (e.g., 100 mm + 100 mm) for superior sound insulation (STC 60+).
Modular Thickness: Panels with removable layers (e.g., add/remove acoustic foam) to adjust on-site.
C. Aesthetic and Space ImplicationsThinner walls save floor space in tight environments (e.g., urban apartments).Thicker walls may require recessed tracks or ceiling/floor mounts to avoid protruding into the room.



4. How to Choose the Right Thickness

Define Your Goals:Prioritize soundproofing? Choose thicker acoustic cores.
Need fire resistance? Opt for fire-rated materials (e.g., 125 mm gypsum with mineral wool).
Consult Manufacturers:Most suppliers provide technical data sheets (TDS) with thickness-to-performance charts (e.g., STC, fire rating, load capacity).
Test with Samples:

Request physical samples to assess weight, stability, and aesthetics before full installation.



5. Example Thickness Scenarios
Home Office Partition: A sliding glass partition with aluminum frames might be 80 mm thick, balancing light transmission and privacy.
Hotel Ballroom Divider: A motorized, fire-rated partition for a 5-meter-high space could be 180 mm thick, with STC 55 and a 2-hour fire rating.
Industrial Warehouse Separation: A heavy-duty, movable concrete partition might reach 300 mm thick to withstand machinery vibrations and impact.


Summary
Movable partition wall thickness is a critical design factor that balances functionality, safety, and aesthetics. Lightweight systems (60–150 mm) suit residential and office needs, while commercial/industrial applications demand thicker, more robust solutions (150–400 mm+). Always align thickness with local building codes, manufacturer recommendations, and the specific demands of your space.
