Partitions ~ these can be defined as vertical internal space dividers
and are usually non-loadbearing. They can be permanent,
constructed of materials such as bricks or blocks or they can be
demountable constructed using lightweight materials and capable
of being taken down and moved to a new location incurring little
or no damage to the structure or finishes. There is a wide range of
demountable partitions available constructed from a variety of
materials giving a range that will be suitable for most situations.
Many of these partitions have a permanent finish which requires no
decoration and only periodic cleaning in the context of planned
maintenance.
