Partition Walls for Public & Common Areas
Partitions for stairwells, reception areas, coworking spaces and schools that guide foot traffic and separate zones acoustically.
In stairwells, reception areas, coworking spaces and schools, many people with different needs share a tight footprint. Partitions here often serve several purposes at once: guiding the route through the building, creating quieter zones for focused work or teaching, and frequently meeting fire safety requirements along escape routes.
Because these areas are usually publicly accessible, robust, durable materials and clear, legible wayfinding matter most. Stairwells and escape routes often call for fire-rated glazing to EI30 or EI60, while coworking spaces and schools also benefit from acoustic solutions against general noise levels.
What matters here
Fire protection in stairwells and escape routes
Glazing along stairwells and escape routes often has to meet a fire resistance class under VKF guidelines, typically EI30 or EI60. We clarify the exact requirement based on how the space is used and the building's fire safety concept.
Quiet work zones in coworking spaces
Coworking spaces bring open work areas and phone calls together in a tight footprint. Acoustic partitions and meeting pods create enclosed zones for calls and focused work without giving up the open layout.
Clear wayfinding at reception
Glass partitions at reception guide foot traffic without visually shrinking the space. Frame colour and signage can be designed so visitors can orient themselves immediately.
Robust build for schools
In schools and other high-traffic common areas, partitions face heavy daily use. Impact-resistant profiles and scratch-resistant surfaces cut maintenance effort over the life of the installation.

For public and common areas we usually combine glass partitions for wayfinding with acoustic partitions or a meeting pod for quieter zones. Where fire safety requirements apply, such as in stairwells, we match the glazing to the required class in advance.
Frequently asked questions
- What fire rating does a stairwell partition need?
- That depends on the building's fire safety concept; EI30 or EI60 under VKF guidelines are common requirements. We clarify the exact requirement together with you or the responsible specialist.
- How can quiet workspaces be created in a coworking area?
- Acoustic partitions with sound-absorbing surfaces and meeting pods for calls create enclosed retreats within the open floor without a full renovation.
- Do the partitions withstand foot traffic in schools?
- In high-traffic areas we use impact-resistant profiles and robust, scratch-resistant surfaces designed for heavy daily use.
- Can you install while a school or office stays in operation?
- Yes, we install with low dust and schedule work outside core hours where possible, so operations are barely affected.
