Partitions

Knotwood aluminum room dividers and partition screens create semi-open separations between spaces in residential and commercial interiors. Unlike a solid wall, an aluminum room divider partially separates spaces while allowing some light, air and visual connection to pass through, and unlike a curtain or furniture arrangement, it is fixed and architectural.

Homeowners use aluminum room dividers to separate an open plan living and dining area, screen a home office from a living space or define a semi-enclosed entry zone. Architects and designers specify them for office build-outs, hospitality and retail interiors, dividing open plan space or defining a waiting area without full wall construction.

A wood room divider can look good when new, but knocks, humidity variation and daily wear cause it to mark, swell and need refinishing sooner than a commercial interior can afford. Knotwood’s aluminum profiles deliver the same natural, architectural appearance without those trade-offs. They are durable, low maintenance, and they hold their finish through years of daily use without site painting or sealing.

Because aluminum room dividers are made to order, the height, width and batten spacing are set to suit the opening rather than the other way around. A divider can run floor to ceiling as a full-height screen, stop short of the ceiling so the room still reads as one volume or sit on a low base to define a zone without closing it off. That decision is usually made on the floor plan, not on site.
