Room divider screens, also called room splitter screens or room partition panels, are freestanding screens that divide one open space into smaller areas with no building work. Ours are made in the UK in fabric and acoustic finishes, in heights up to 2100mm, and link together into straight runs, L-shapes and bays. Planning a layout? Read our guide on how to divide a room without building a wall.
Office room dividers split one open space into team areas, quiet corners, meeting spots and walkways without any building work. Choose freestanding screens that link into runs, mobile dividers on lockable wheels, or folding concertina screens you can open out and pack away in seconds. Most are 1500 to 1800mm high, and you can order free fabric samples before you buy.
Which type of office room divider do you need?
How tall should an office room divider be?
1200mm screens give seated privacy while keeping the room open. 1500mm hides people sitting at desks and is the most popular height for team zones. 1800mm screens hide people standing and walking past, so they suit walkways, break-out areas and anywhere you want a stronger sense of separation. Our tallest room divider screens are 2100mm, for the most separation. At that height they stand on fixed feet. If you want screens on castors, we recommend a maximum height of 1800mm so they stay stable when moved.
Do room dividers reduce noise?
Acoustic room dividers have a sound-absorbing core that soaks up voices and phone calls, so noise carries less far across the office. They absorb sound rather than block it, so they will not soundproof a space. For the biggest difference, combine acoustic office screens with acoustic wall panels.

Room divider sizes and linking
Our office room dividers come in a range of widths and heights up to 2.1m, tall enough to screen off a seated area completely without building work. Most of our room dividers link together into longer runs, so you can create meeting areas, quiet zones or temporary rooms and change the layout later. Freestanding feet let each screen stand on its own, and our mobile room dividers sit on castors so you can move them for events or flexible spaces. Not sure how many you need? Send us a rough floor plan and we will suggest a layout.

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell screens and room dividers in the UK?
Yes. We make our screens and room dividers in the UK to order, usually in 5–15 working days, and deliver across the UK.
What is the best room divider for an office?
For permanent zones, freestanding screens that link together are the most stable and flexible. If the space changes during the day, choose mobile dividers on wheels or folding concertina screens.
Can office room dividers be moved?
Yes. Freestanding dividers stand on feet and can be repositioned without tools, mobile dividers roll on lockable castors, and concertina screens fold flat to move or store.
Are your room dividers freestanding?
Yes. None of our office room dividers need fixing to walls, floors or ceilings, so there is no building work and they can be reused if you move.
Can I order samples first?
Yes. Fabric samples are free, and we recommend ordering them before a larger order so you can check colours in your space.
How tall are your room divider screens?
Our room divider screens come in heights up to 2100mm. 1200mm gives seated privacy, 1500mm hides people at desks and 1800mm to 2100mm hides people standing. The 2100mm screens stand on fixed feet; for screens on castors we recommend no taller than 1800mm.
