Benefits of technology

[0006]According to an exemplary embodiment there is provided a method of installing a partition wall. The method comprises installing a plurality of modules, wherein each module is bounded by a frame. The frame may be formed from one or more profiles wherein the profiles are adapted to optionally secure a security element. Here, the security element is preferably arranged between the removable fastenings and the cladding panel facing an intruder side of the partition wall. The profiles are also adapted to allow a cladding panel to be installed on at least one face. The Profiles being further adapted to be interconnected to adjacent modules or a structure of a building via removable fixings. Advantageously, the method therefore includes removing the fastening connecting one module to adjacent modules or structure of the building and replacing the module with a module having a different configuration. The method may further comprise re-using the removed module in a second partition wall. Advantageously, there is therefore provided a adaptable and quick method of installing a partition wall.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore in some environments, such as banks, building societies and court houses, conventional partition walls are not strong enough to provide the required security.

Embodiment Construction

[0062]Referring to FIG. 1, a modular walling system 1 is provided. The modular walling system forms a partition wall 10 from two or more modules 12. According to an exemplary embodiment, there is provided a method of using the modular walling system to install a partition wall 10. The method comprises installing a first module 12a and then installing a second module 12b by connecting the first and second modules using releasable or detachable fixings such as bolts. Advantageously, the formed partition wall is therefore provided with interchangeable and reusable modules. The adaptability of the partition wall is therefore improved. For instance, in a particular exemplary application, the modular walling system is adapted to provide a partition wall within a bank or other financial institution such as a building society, post office or even other point of sale applications. To exemplify the adaptability, one example is used. The partition 10 may be formed with a number of cut out part...

Abstract

A system for the modular construction of partitions, the system comprising a plurality of modules, each module comprising a security panel and a frame, the security panel being attached to one or more surface of the frame, the frame comprising at least one box shaped profile, each profile being adapted for connection to an adjacent profile of an adjacent module or to a structural building member.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a system for the modular construction of partitions and a module for use therein.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]Modular partition walling is known. It enables partition walls to be constructed quickly and easily. However, it is an aim of the present invention to provide an improved system for erecting a partition wall.[0003]Furthermore in some environments, such as banks, building societies and court houses, conventional partition walls are not strong enough to provide the required security. Partition walls may need to be fire-resistant, bullet-resistant, blast-resistant or attack-resistant or a combination thereof. It is therefore a further aim of the invention to provide a system for the modular construction of partition walls that has improved strength.[0004]Accordingly it is an aim of the present invention to address at least one disadvantage associated with the prior art whether described herein or elsewhere.SUMMARY...
