Desk Divider Screen Measuring Checklist
Thickness of the Desk
When measuring your desk you need to make sure that not only is the thickness of the desk is considered but also take into account the leg frame of the desk.
Obstructions of Clamp Positions

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to measure before ordering a desk divider screen?
You need to measure the thickness of your desk surface and also account for the leg frame underneath. Both affect how the clamps will sit and whether they will fit securely.
Where will the clamp holes be drilled on my desk screen?
For screens up to 1000mm wide, holes are drilled 150mm in from each end. For screens wider than 1000mm, the holes are drilled 250mm in from each end. Before ordering, check that no desk legs or brackets sit in those positions.
What if I have monitor arms attached to my desk?
Measure where your monitor arms are fixed to the desk and check that the clamp positions will not clash with them. It is worth doing this before you order to avoid any fitting issues when the screen arrives.
Which clamp do I need for my desk screen?
It depends on the thickness of your desk. For example, the DT1 clamp fits desks between 30mm and 85mm thick, while the DT2 and DTC2 fit between 18mm and 49mm. Check the full clamp range against your desk measurements before placing your order.
What clamps come with the budget acrylic desktop screens?
The SA range of clamps are included in the price of the budget acrylic desktop screens. The SA1 fits desks between 30mm and 35mm, the SA2 fits between 18mm and 49mm, and the SA5 simply rests on top of the desk.
Can I get a clamp in a specific colour?
Yes. Clamps are available in Light Grey, Dark Grey, Brown, Black and Silver. Special clamps can also be made to order if your desk requires something outside the standard range, though these do carry an additional cost.
What if none of the standard clamps fit my desk?
If your desk has unusual dimensions or a non-standard frame, special clamps can be made to order. These are supplied in place of the standard clamps and come at an extra cost. Get in touch with the customer service team and they will help you find the right solution.
