ALUMINUM FOR PARTITION WALLS

Why is aluminum the ideal material for transforming spaces?

In interior architecture, it is essential to reduce environmental impact and increase energy efficiency. Aluminum has become one of the most efficient materials for manufacturing profiles in partition walls, especially in office spaces. At FLATbyArtis, we choose this material as the foundation for our partition collection due to its unique qualities. Its combination of functional, aesthetic, and ecological properties makes it the ideal option for designing modern and sustainable spaces.

Sustainability: The manufacturing process of aluminum emits fewer harmful gases than other metals like steel, which reduces the carbon footprint from production to installation. Additionally, since aluminum is 100% recyclable without losing quality, it is perfect for maintaining a longer useful life cycle and minimizing environmental impact.

Lightweight and durable: The natural oxide coating on aluminum provides a solid barrier against corrosion, ensuring that the partitions maintain their integrity for years. Moreover, despite its light weight, aluminum is remarkably strong. Compared to steel, it is 65% lighter, but its structure, combined with copper and manganese alloys, grants it great durability.

Quick installation: Partition walls with aluminum profiles are known for their ease of installation. Their lightness and modularity make assembly processes much faster than those with heavier materials, reducing project timelines. Thanks to our technical system with built-in leveling components, installers can easily adjust the partitions to ensure precise assembly. Necessary components include glass fixation gaskets, which eliminate the need for silicone, simplifying the process and reducing maintenance. Furthermore, using a clipping system allows us to quickly configure partitions with single or double glass, or even solid panels, adapting to any space effortlessly.

Minimal maintenance: Aluminum is known for being a highly airtight material, capable of completely sealing any potential openings that could allow air to enter, as well as preventing the passage of water. The durability of aluminum reflects in its low maintenance. Cleaning is simple, ensuring that the partitions always look as good as new, even over time.

Design flexibility: The ability to shape aluminum into various forms and finishes ensures that the partitions offer unlimited design potential. In our case, we follow the extrusion industrial process to configure and adapt the material according to the desired thickness, size, and style. The treatments we apply include epoxy coating, wood-effect coating, and anodizing, allowing us to obtain profiles in a wide range of colors and textures.

Technology integration: In the offices of the future, integrating technology will be essential to improve productivity and the efficiency of workspaces. Aluminum, due to its versatility, also allows the discreet and aesthetic integration of technological solutions. Our partition system enables horizontal and vertical wiring to pass through the profile’s interior along its perimeter, making it possible to integrate LED lighting and other smart devices without interfering with the space’s design.

Employee wellbeing: Aluminum partitions, being modular, can create environments that promote privacy without sacrificing natural light or the feeling of spaciousness. At the same time, they enable the configuration of collaborative and open work areas that foster creativity and teamwork.

Aluminum profile partitions in offices not only reduce CO2 emissions and waste but also offer long-term benefits in terms of durability, sustainability, and efficiency. Their easy installation and low maintenance make them the most practical and cost-effective choice for modern offices. It’s a sustainable solution that benefits us all!
