Top 4 types of plastic office partitions that are easy to construct and durable

Plastic office partitions are the optimal alternative to traditional brick walls with 4 main types: PVC, mica, uPVC steel core and Compact. Each type has its own advantages in terms of durability, aesthetics and applicability in office space.

PVC partitions are made from 40% PVC plastic combined with 60% stone powder, providing 100% moisture resistance and high durability according to ISO 24336:2005 standards. Mica uses Acrylic plastic with light transmission of 92 - 98%, weight is only 50% compared to glass. uPVC steel core partitions have a lifespan of 30-35 years thanks to galvanized steel core, while Compact HPL can withstand temperatures from -20°C to 80°C with a water absorption rate of nearly 0%.

Partition prices range from 119.000 - 1.300.000 VND depending on the type, with common PVC priced from 119.000 - 179.000 VND/meter, mica from 1.462.000 - 7.786.000 VND/sheet depending on thickness and Compact HPL from 500.000 - 700.000 VND/m². When choosing, users need to consider 6 factors: Material quality, suitable thickness (12 - 18mm), harmonious color, moisture resistance, supplier reputation and investment budget.

PVC plastic office partitions

PVC plastic office partitions are a modern alternative to rough and expensive brick walls. The product is made from SPC core (virgin PVC combined with stone powder) and specialized additives. Thanks to this combination, the partition has high hardness and 100% superior moisture resistance. Not only durable, the material also offers a variety of colors and patterns.

In terms of classification, PVC plastic partitions combined with stone powder are divided into 2 main groups, suitable for each usage need:

1. Mobile PVC partition: Compact design, can be opened and closed flexibly, suitable for small offices or spaces that need to change frequently.
2. Fixed PVC partition: Installed with partition frame, providing stability, creating a luxurious and sophisticated appearance for large office spaces.
   

PVC plastic office partitions are popular with businesses because they have 6 advantages including:

1. Diverse wood grain and fabric grain surfaces: Brings luxury and modern beauty to the space, meeting many interior design styles.
2. Employee health and safety: Virgin PVC plastic combined with stone powder and safe additives, does not emit toxic substances, ensuring a clean and healthy working environment.
3. Fast and clean construction: Due to its light weight and simple structure, construction hardly creates much dust and noise. The installation process of plastic walls does not require a skeleton system. The product is pre-designed in a set including wall panels and wall feet, helping to quickly construct.
4. High durability, lifespan 15 - 20 years: The product meets ISO 24336:2005 standards with a thickness expansion of only 0,05%. Therefore, the partition is less likely to warp or deform due to changes in temperature or humidity.
   

Office partition panels made of mica plastic

Office partition panels made of acrylic plastic are produced from acrylic plastic. (PMMA – Poly Methyl Methacrylate), a high-tech plastic that can replace glass. Thanks to its density of 1,19 g/cm³ and light transmittance of 92 – 98%, mica gives a transparent feeling while still ensuring mechanical strength. The common size of mica sheet is 1m22 x 2m44 or 1m22 x 1m83, thickness ranges from 1,8mm to 10mm.

Mica plastic office partitions are the preferred choice of many units and companies thanks to the following 6 outstanding features:

1. Various colors: Over 100 options from transparent, opaque white to bold tones, suitable for many design styles.
2. Light-weight: Only 50% of glass, easy to transport, construct and reduce the load on the project.
3. High transparency: Light transmission from 92-98%, providing natural light effect, equivalent to glass.
4. UV resistance: Protects interior spaces and objects from harmful UV rays (280–400 nm).
5. Safe insulation: Non-conductive, often used in high voltage equipment.
6. Bearing good: 10 times stronger than normal glass, safer and more durable in use.
   

Office partitions made of steel core plastic (uPVC)

Office partitions made of steel core plastic are one of the modern solutions, produced from hard, non-plasticized uPVC profile bars, with reinforced steel cores inside. The galvanized steel core is often designed in U, C or G cross-section and placed in the hollow cavity of the plastic bar. This combination provides superior load-bearing capacity, minimizing warping of the wall panels.

Standard sizes of conventional steel core plastic partitions are produced as follows:

1. Height: 2,4m – 3,2m
2. Width: 1,2m – 2,4m
3. Thickness: 10mm - 12mm.

Compared with traditional materials such as brick walls, making room partitions with uPVC plastic brings 6 advantages:

1. Firmly fixed frame: The structure consists of a uPVC plastic frame combined with an internal steel core, providing high stability and ensuring long-term durability.
2. Good soundproofing and heat insulation: High sound insulation, helps keep the working space quiet even when located near major traffic routes.
3. Durable: uPVC contains many anti-oxidant and anti-aging additives in Vietnam's hot and humid climate; average lifespan can reach 30 - 35 years.
4. Firewall: uPVC material does not sustain flames, minimizing the risk of fire spreading.
5. Waterproof, termite resistant: Not warped or rotted like natural wood.
6. Economic efficiency: Reasonable investment cost, cost/sustainability ratio is evaluated to be 20-25% more optimal than other materials in the same segment.
   

Compact plastic room divider panels

Compact plastic room dividers are made from Compact HPL (High Pressure Laminate) material. This material is formed through the process of compressing many layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin under high pressure (about 1430 psi) combined with a layer of decorative paper. The final surface is covered with a layer of scratch-resistant Melamine resin, thereby creating a Compact panel with a solid core and high hardness.

Based on quality, thickness and color, Compact plastic partitions can be divided into 3 aspects:

1. By quality:
   • Type 1: Solid, heavy core, 100% waterproof, smooth surface and high durability.
   • Type 2: Lighter weight, foam core, limited moisture resistance, less smooth surface.
2. By thickness: 12mm, 18mm or thinner versions.
3. By color and pattern: Modern monochrome, metallic or wood grain effects, luxurious natural fabric grain.
   

Thanks to its technical specifications and strict production process, Compact plastic partitions bring 6 outstanding benefits:

1. High mechanical strength: Withstands strong impacts and heavy loads, average life span over 20 years in dry environment.
2. Absolutely waterproof: Water absorption rate is nearly 0%, no mold, no warping.
3. Outstanding heat and fire resistance: Maintains stability in the temperature range from -20°C to 80°C, meeting B1 fire resistance standards.
4. Bearing good: Does not deform when subjected to strong force.
5. Diverse aesthetics: Over 50 color and pattern options.
6. Simple construction and maintenance: Smooth surface, easy to clean, saving 30% cleaning time.
