ArchiPro speaks with Versare about the latest temporary wall options, including modular partition systems, acoustic panels, and hygienic privacy screens for hospitals.
“Partitioning provides privacy and organisation, enabling a more fluid use of the space,” says Pete Fullerton, Sales Manager at Versare. “Versare’s portable panel range allows people to use the spaces they have rather than complete costly and time-consuming renovations.”
Rising business costs have led to an increased demand for temporary walls and privacy screens in New Zealand. "We're seeing people not wanting to spend money on costly renovations because they don't know what their business will look like in six months," says Pete.
Here are five portable partition solutions available in a variety of designer fabrics that can either blend into the background or make a statement with shades of latte, sea green, or papaya.
1. Versatile, flexible and functional spaces
Looking for a sophisticated solution that maximises layout versatility? The Versare RoomDivider 360 (RD360) fits the bill with its clever 360 hinge design. The RD360 is one of Versare’s most versatile and popular partition systems, used across a wide range of sectors to create flexible, functional spaces.
Optional sound-absorbing panels (SoundSorb) ensure sound control, making it ideal for environments requiring noise control.
Prices start from NZ$1,755* (Room Divider 360, three-panel, 2-metre x 2.5-metre upholstered fabric).
2. Movable wall systems for flexible office layouts
If your goal is to create an elegant straight-line division that’s fast to assemble and compact for storage, the Versare StraightWall is your go-to. Ideal for open-plan offices, coworking spaces, and hospitality venues, it allows for clean separations that manage customer flow and conceal back-of-house areas while providing acoustic options to keep noise levels in check.
Prices start from NZ$1,898 (StraightWall, three-panel, 2-metre x 2.1-metre)
Tool-less assembly and a reconfigurable setup are ideal for building acoustic pods or desk dividers that help reduce noise and improve concentration.
3. Best partitions for open-plan office noise reduction in NZ
For semi-permanent solutions, the Versare Hush System stands out as a modular partitioning solution ideal for creating private workspaces, enclosed meeting rooms or break areas in corporate settings.
This system provides enhanced sound absorption by absorbing up to 60 per cent of the surrounding audio noise. Its tool-less assembly and fully reconfigurable setup are ideal for building acoustic pods or desk dividers that help reduce noise and improve concentration in call centres or customer support teams.
Built for modular setups, panels are ordered individually. Basic example 1.2m x 1.2m space 1.8m high $2,240
4. Easy-to-clean privacy partition screens for healthcare
Versare’s QuickWall, as its name suggests, is ideal for those seeking lightweight yet practical partitions. With folding and sliding options available in both upholstered fabric and polycarbonate, it’s suitable for hospitals, clinics and retail stores. “The QuickWall not only offers privacy but also helps manage foot traffic and stockroom separations efficiently,” says Pete.
Prices start from NZ$952 (QuickWall, three-panel, 1.8 metres)
folding or sliding in upholstered fabric or polycarbonate.)
5. Low cost flexible crowd control
Pete recommends the Versare MP10 when requiring a simple barrier or room divider: “If you need a straightforward and budget-conscious option for high-traffic areas, the MP10 is an excellent choice.”
Starting from NZ$710 (MP10 Canvas, five-panel, 2-metre x 3-metre), the MP10 room divider is designed for easy setup and mobility. It effectively serves in crowded spaces like airports or shopping malls, providing essential crowd control.
With the right solutions, specifiers and organisations can create functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces without breaking the bank. Whether looking to adapt an office layout, manage foot traffic in a retail space, or create private treatment areas, temporary walls offer the versatility and practicality needed in today’s hard-working environments.
