PARTITION SYSTEMS

Building for a Cleaner Tomorrow

Environmental Sustainability

This is a promise we put into every leading partition component we make.

Because we believe that being committed to improving your office environment also means being committed to improving the environment we all share.

Greenguard Air Quality Certificate

Partition Systems commitment to the environment is evident in the Moveable Wall and Furniture Systems we offer to the market place.

Reducing and Reusing are our key design criteria for all the products we manufacture and distribute. From GREENGAURD Indoor Air Quality certification to FSC certification products our Movable wall and Furniture systems help builders attain LEED certification.


Remember to request GREENGUARD Certified vinyl wall coverings on your next Movable Wall Systems project from Partition Systems.




Environmental Sustainability

Why Choose Corporate / Executive Series vs. Conventional Drywall




Choosing a movable wall system creates the opportunity for more efficient space and employee satisfaction.


100% factory fabricated panels result in shorter install times and fewer trades.


Eliminating drywall dust and painting fumes results in improved air quality.

Renovations are seamless as the panels are 100% reusable, resulting in no waste to landfill.


The flexibility of the system allows for growth and change. With interchangeable panels, and no mess renovations, you are able to make the changes needed to succeed.

Going Green

Over 40 years of innovation and responsible manufacturing!

Since our beginning forty years ago, office partitions have gone through  many changes, and we’ve been responsible for great advances. Technological innovations that we’ve developed have helped us take companies from cube farms to comfort zones, from two guys in a garage to 500 people on three corporate floors.  Four decades ago we revolutionized the industry with a demountable wall system.


From then to now, we have been delivering smart re-usable office solutions for growing companies on the move. Ultimately, PSL’s responsibility continues long after the wall system is up. Our company is founded on outstanding service, and the belief that a well thought out wall, made responsibly, can help us build strong businesses for our clients and a cleaner tomorrow for us all.

Partition Systems builds for a cleaner tomorrow!

This is a promise we put into every leading partition component we make.

Because we believe that being committed to improving your office environment also means being committed to improving the environment we all share. Partition Systems Ltd. makes every effort everyday to see that the leading wall systems we sell have the least negative impact on the planet.


We use mainly natural materials, and everything we manufacture is recyclable. Quality, efficiency, faster time to market, minimal environmental disruption and partnerships with environmentally responsible suppliers are all part of our business process. We’ve put systems in place to see that materials we produce can be easily recycled again and again.


PSL uses a system of recycle bins throughout our manufacturing plant to sort remnant waste at the source into standard recyclable groups, these include Cardboard, Aluminum, Steel, Plastics and Gypsum. Our plant is heated by energy efficient radiant heat, and lighted by energy efficient lamps. Our forklifts have been updated to maximize fuel efficiency and where possible have been replaced with electric units. All our office paper is recycled, and we ship all our products with minimum packaging, which is made from recycled cardboard and kraft paper.



Partition Systems and LEED Certification

Partition Systems is a proud supporter of the LEED Certification program. The program is a voluntary certification standard for measuring building sustainability and promoting a healthy place for people to live and work.



Partition Systems helps customers by developing products that can contribute to LEED certification from vinyl selections that are Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified and fabrics that are made from 100% recycled or bio-based materials. All aluminum products that are used are recyclable which means less energy and reduced greenhouse emissions, as aluminum can be recycled over and over again.


From then to now, we have been delivering smart re-usable office solutions for growing companies on the move. Ultimately, PSL’s responsibility continues long after the wall system is up. Our company is founded on outstanding service, and the belief that a well thought out wall, made responsibly, can help us build strong businesses for our clients and a cleaner tomorrow for us all.

Greenguard Air Quality Certificate

Remember to request GREENGUARD Certified vinyl wall coverings on your next Movable Wall Systems project from Partition Systems.


What is the Greenguard Certification Program?


The GREENGUARD Certification Program (formerly known as GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification) gives assurance that products designed for use in indoor spaces meet strict chemical emissions limits, which contribute to the creation of healthier interiors. Achieving GREENGUARD Certification gives credence to manufacturers’ sustainability claims, backing them with empirical scientific data from an unbiased, third-party organization.  




What is VOC?

Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from building materials and other sources. When VOC emissions are reduced, overall indoor air quality is improved.  One way to improve indoor air quality is to specify a wall system that uses low-VOC emission products such as GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified vinyl wall coverings.


Does Partitions Systems offer GREENGUARD?

Partition Systems manufactures movable and re-usable wall systems that includes a wide variety of vinyl wall coverings offered by Omnova Solutions Inc. Many of these vinyl wall coverings have the GREENGUARD Certification, and are available in a wide variety of colours.

 

GREENGUARD Certified products are part of the LEED-CI standards set used by the United States General Building Code. Therefore, specifying GREENGUARD vinyl wall coverings by Omnova on panels manufactured by Partition Systems is a “step in the right direction” towards LEED accreditation.

 

GREENGUARD Certified vinyl wall coverings from Omnova use specialized processes, vinyl formulations, and inks that have been re-engineered to reduce or neutralize materials that can be a source of VOC’s.

Omnova products are tested regularly by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute to ensure that their products continue to achieve low VOC-emission standards.  Further information is available at Omnova.com, and Greenguard.org.
