Temporary Partition Walls
Rap Industries are a leading manufacturer in office screens and partitions, offering creative ways to divide an open space. Divisions in the workplace aren’t always needed permanently and we’ve seen an increase in temporary screens and the benefits to be gained.
Our range of Temporary Partition walls demonstrate how to cover an area of space for varying lengths of time. With expert designs, the office walls are set up for movement and storing. Each panel is pre-fitted with castor wheels, supplying the smooth movement required to relocate the partitions when no longer in use.
Available as a concertina or free standing screen, the temporary solutions are supplied as a full unit or as single panels. By opting for the free standing option, it’s possible to separate a space and introduce an acoustic feature. Acoustic panels are used as a noise absorption tool, reducing office noise and supporting a quiet workplace.
Partition walls aren't only designed as a straight wall. Use the connected panels to create different shapes and variations, comfortably splitting open work areas. Adding a temporary solution provides any open space with maximum flexibility and the possibility to recycle space.
How to build a temporary partition wall
We’ve done most of the work for you, so all you have to do is thoroughly measure the area. Our mobile screens are fitted together in the panel width you chose, so this leaves zero building and just the positioning to be taken care off.
Mobi Screens
The Mobi Screen is a light weight, cost effective solution. Use the slimline panels in an angled formation to create a self supporting stance. If a straight wall is needed, please attach the supplied end feet. When moving or repositioning the divider, it may require the removal of the stability feet.
Flexi-Screens
Our Flexi-Screen has a joining feature in the form of a linking strip. If you can’t find the required width, then you can link multiple sets together. The fitted castor wheels have a lock for more stability and use in busier work place areas.
Free Standing Partitions
Free standing office screens have been transformed in to a temporary and portable office partition. We’ve simply switched the stability feet for the lockable castor wheels, which make the heavier screens easy to move.
With the free standing option we've combined 2 important factors for the office. Noise control and portability. Acoustic foam and fabrics are a beneficial way to reduce office noise, creating a better work environment. What's more, the temporary partition walls can be moved to tackle the noise in different areas as and when required.
Room partition finishes
Style and finish are just as important as the size. Across the partition options we have hard surface finishes such as print and laminate through to acoustic panels. The wide selection will ensure that no matter the environment, the chosen finish will have a place.
Finishes include:
- Printed
- Laminate / white gloss
- Loop nylon
- Woven fabric
- Acoustic
Tip: The white gloss laminate is REACH compliant and can withstand anti-bacterial cleaners and sprays for a thorough clean. And even more impressively, can accept dry wipe pen as a whiteboard feature.
Concertina VS single panels
Concertina screens are panels which are joined together with a hinge. The hinge allows the panels to fold flush against one another, forming a compressed unit. All panels can then be moved at the same and into storage whilst not in use.
Single free standing panels use a linking strip to form the partition wall. When moving, the screens can’t be folded together and can’t be moved together due to the design. To correctly move the single divider, remove all linking strips and reposition.
Some other styles of free standing divider don’t use the linking facility so again, should be moved on a panel by panel basis.

FAQ’s
What makes the walls temporary?
The temporary build of the divider includes fitted castor wheels and a run of panels connected with hinges. Temporary screens require flexibility and smooth movement, which is just what our range offers.
How much floor space is needed?
Other than the main width of the partitions, little floor space is needed due to the slimline panels. The only thing to consider is the castor wheels and how far they protrude (Flexi-Screen).
How will the wheels handle uneven floors?
With any partitions, free standing or portable, the most secure placement is an even surface. Uneven floors can lead to instability and not being suitable in high traffic areas.
Are extra supports needed?
Mobi screens aren’t a self supporting unit unless used at an angle. Stability feet must be applied for straight layouts or in situations where more support is preferred.
