Aluminium Partition Guide for Offices and Shops in Chennai: Materials and Cost Factors
By Supreme Aluminium & Hardwares, Selaiyur · Updated
Quick answer: An aluminium partition is a frame of 2 × 1 inch aluminium channels filled with Novopan board, glass or a mix of both. Its cost per square foot depends on the section thickness and finish, the infill (board is cheaper than glass), the number of doors, and the height. Board partitions are the most economical; full-glass partitions cost the most.
What an aluminium partition is made of
- Frame: 2 × 1 inch aluminium channels, single or double.
- Infill: Novopan or particle board, plain or frosted glass, or a combination (board below, glass above).
- Doors: 2.5 × 1.5 inch door section with lock, handle and closer.
- Finishing: sealants, rubbers, corner pieces and screws.
What decides the cost
- Infill material — board is the most economical; glass costs more; toughened glass costs the most.
- Section thickness and finish — thicker sections and special colours cost more.
- Height — full-height partitions use more material than half-height ones.
- Number of doors — each door adds section, lock, handle and closer.
- Quantity — larger jobs get better wholesale rates on material.
