Sound and privacy
Screens and jali give visual separation but little sound control, glass gives sight but some sound separation and gypsum walls with insulation give the best privacy. Choose by what you need to hide or block.
Light and airflow
Glass and jali let light and air pass, and solid walls block them. In small flats, choose partitions that keep daylight flowing, and keep AC and fan flow in mind.
Fire and structure
Partitions should be stable, fixed to floor and ceiling, and use fire-safe materials in kitchens and commercial spaces. Do not block exits. Check the floor can carry heavy partitions.
Installation
Fix frames to floor and ceiling with proper anchors, keep walls plumb and plan sockets and lights before closing. For glass, use toughened or laminated panels. Fixing and assembly should be done carefully, with wall fixings suited to the wall type and the load checked against the maker's rating.
Choosing
Decide the main goal: privacy, light, sound or style, then choose the type and measure carefully. Mock up with tape on the floor before ordering.
Before you decide
Decide privacy, light and sound needs first, keep exits clear and fix partitions securely. Measure the space and the largest item you need to fit, check the material, finish and load rating, compare at least two quotes or products on the same specification and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for photographs of the actual item or a sample, confirm delivery and assembly in writing and inspect the delivered piece for damage before the delivery person leaves. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide thin materials or poor finishing.
