Modern aluminum office partitions are mobile structures made of light-alloy materials. Their basis is a frame that performs a supporting function. Also, an aluminum profile divides the partition into blocks, which, in turn, can be made of different materials. For these purposes, double and single glass, PVC panels, chipboard, MDF and much more are used. Less commonly used are painted sheets of this metal about half a centimeter thick, between which a polymer sheet is pressed using a special technology. The total thickness of this panel can vary between 3-6 millimeters. Such an aluminum partition is installed in offices located in basements, where high humidity is constantly observed.

- Destination. This criterion is individual. Basically, everything here depends on the personal preferences of the owner of the office and the general stylistic design.
