Cubicle walls and doors can create office environments that assist you to define the work space and promote working areas that minimise distractions, noise and promote productivity. They can also increase privacy and define work teams.
Consideration must be given to the strength, durability and stability of the materials used as well as circulation, space, air flow, acoustic control and visual or contrast requirements.
The Australian/New Zealand Standard 4443, Office panel systems—Workstations, should be taken into consideration when selecting and installing partitioning.
