Using interior wall systems to create new/additional workspaces in your office or business has become an increasingly popular choice over the last ten years. Traditional interior wall construction tends to favor 2x4s and dry wall. From there, masonry (stone, brick, etc.) or various types of veneers are usually added to create an appropriate motif for the room. The problem is traditional wall construction is permanent, expensive, time consuming, and you’re stuck with what you get once it’s done. Now you have options. Ones which don’t require architects, carpenters, inspectors, painters, masons, and a bevy of other trades. Demountable, modular, interior wall systems have grown exponentially in popularity and in this article we’ll show you why.
Why Choose Demountable & Modular Interior Wall Systems
Wood and dry wall have their place in nearly every building. After all, it’s how walls have been built for decades. However, once those walls are built and in place, they stay that way until they must be torn down and replaced. Wood and dry wall is expensive in both cost of materials, as well as construction and upkeep. Many are turning to more affordable and sustainable materials. Those which require less time to design, manufacture, install than lumber walls for their interior rooms and offices.
The biggest advantages and increasing popularity of metal and glass interior wall systems is that they’re “demountable” and “modular”:
- Demountable in that they’re not permanently fixed to the existing floor or ceilings. They can be put up when needed or taken down and stored/repurposed when not in use. There’s no demolition, no dust, or debris, just some nuts and bolts which can be used over and over again.
- Modular is just a fancy way of saying walls which are made of smaller, interlocking panels which make up the whole. Think of it like using single bricks, cemented to one another, which create a wall system designed to your specs.
Using demountable and modular panels opens up a slew of possibilities in both layout, functionality, and motif.
The Design, Practicality, and Customization of Interior Wall Systems
With modular wall systems, you have nearly unlimited options when it comes to the look and feel of your work environment. Do you want to add a few windows to your office wall? No problem. Need to add built-in whiteboard/dry erase panels to a wall? Easy enough. If there’s too much noise? Just add Polyurethane (PET felt) panels to your wall to keep your space peaceful and productive.

Glass Wall Panels, Data & Electrical, and Locking Doors
The most popular features of modern interior wall systems are glass panels, locking doors, and data/electrical capabilities.
Glass panels allow for both artificial and natural light to permeate throughout a workspace while still maintaining the advantages of reduced noise and increased privacy. Additionally, glass panels should be thick and shatter resistant.
Locking doors are very popular for the obvious reasons. Privacy remains a huge priority in the workplace, especially for younger generations joining the office. However, demountable rooms with locking doors are being used in a variety of new ways, including lactation rooms, self-wellness rooms, and pet-friendly rooms to name a few.
Finally, anywhere you put up demountable and modular walls, it’s important to make sure both power and data lines run through that wall. Many higher-end wall systems incorporate hidden “raceway” tracks that allow for network, phone, and electrical cord access and maintenance.
