Partition today,
reconfigure tomorrow
The demountable partition is a modular system made up of aluminium profiles and glazed or solid panels, dry-assembled between floor and ceiling. It is quick to install, with no structural work or dust, and can be dismantled and reinstalled elsewhere.
CBI has mastered more than 20 partition profiles (single or double glazing, edge-to-edge, slimline frame, exposed mullions) and selects for each project the system best suited to the acoustics, fire safety and architecture of the premises.
We work in Geneva and throughout French-speaking Switzerland for architects, property managers and general contractors, and directly for businesses fitting out their own premises.
Acoustics
From 35 to 38 dB (Rw) with single glazing, and from 40 to 48 dB with double glazing and acoustic seals, depending on the profile and door selected.
Fire-rated
EI30 and EI60 versions with certified glazing and panels, for corridors, escape routes and separations between units.
Reusable
Dismantled, transported and reassembled in a new configuration: the system can be reused across several leases or relocations.
Dry installation
Clean, fast installation with no drying time, suitable for occupied premises and out-of-hours working.
A profile for every use
Full-height glazed partitions
Single or double glazing, edge-to-edge or with slim mullions: transparency and natural light for offices, meeting rooms and reception areas. Flush or framed glazed doors, integrated blinds, frosted or screen-printed films.
Solid and mixed partitions
Solid panels (melamine, laminate, lacquered, timber) or a solid/glazed combination with a spandrel panel or fanlight. Ideal for private offices, archive rooms and plant rooms that call for privacy and storage.
Acoustic and fire-rated partitions
Reinforced profiles, laminated acoustic glazing and perimeter seals for boardrooms, medical practices and law firms. EI30 / EI60 variants compliant with Swiss AEAI/VKF fire safety regulations.
