What is a Demising Wall?
A demising wall is a large wall used for dividing space within a warehouse in an industrial setting in order to separate processes or to isolate a particular production operation. Demising walls vary depending on their mode of application and your goals. A demising wall can;
- Reach a height of 50 feet from the floor to ceiling totally covering an area to establish temperature and humidity controlled partitions.
- Reach lengths of over 500 feet to fully divide a manufacturing plant into separate areas.
However you need your facility to be separated, we provide extremely tall wall systems that are just right for providing a temporal or permanent soft wall for the enhancement of environmental control, work efficiency, stable temperature maintenance, or to increase quality control. The modular demising wall system adapts easily to existing roof structures like beams and joists for a complete seal.
