Active partitions are widely used in commercial and office places due to their flexible space division capabilities. Accurately measuring the size of materials is the key to the perfect integration of movable partitions into space. The following introduces the key points and methods of measurement.
1. Key size measurement: precise control
Height measurement
Ground to ceiling: Use a tape measure or laser rangefinder to measure vertically from the ground to the ceiling. Select the four corners and the middle of the room for multiple measurements, and record the minimum value as a reference for the height of the partition to ensure smooth installation and stable sealing.
Special structure height: If there are beams, pipes, etc. in the installation area, measure the height from the bottom to the ground to determine whether the partition needs special treatment.
Width measurement
Overall width: Measure the distance from one wall to the other side of the installation area, measure at multiple locations and record the maximum and minimum values. Generally, it is designed according to the minimum width, considering the splicing gap (3-5 mm).
Segment width: When a long area needs to be installed in sections, it should be reasonably divided according to actual needs and the modular design of the partition, considering uniform force and beauty, and avoiding large width differences or inconsistent splicing.
Depth measurement
The depth of the partition itself: understand the thickness of the selected product from the front to the back (80-150 mm), which affects the installation space and coordination with the surrounding area.
Installation space depth: measure the depth of the available space in front and behind the installation area to ensure that there is enough space to accommodate the installation and operation of the partition. For sliding partitions, consider the space required for track installation and sliding.
2. Pay attention to detail dimensions: strive for excellence
Door and window position and size
If there are doors and windows in the installation area, accurately measure their position, width, height and distance from the surrounding walls to determine the special design of the partition at the door and window position, such as whether there are openable door leaves or reserved openings and their size and shape.
Ground and wall conditions
Ground flatness: check with a level or ruler, record the height difference, and level the ground if it is uneven, otherwise it will affect the installation and operation of the partition.
Wall verticality: measure to ensure that the deviation is within the allowable range. Large deviations may cause gaps between the partition and the wall, affecting the seal and appearance, and require special installation or customized design.
Track and accessories installation dimensions
Track installation: Determine the installation height (usually 100-150 mm from the ground) and width according to the partition type and design requirements, and match it with the pulley or guide device to ensure smooth operation.
Accessory installation: Measure the installation position and size of door locks, handles, sealing strips, etc., consider the convenience and beauty of use, and coordinate with the overall design.
3. Record review: Rigorous and realistic
Detailed records: Use tables or drawings to record each measurement data, including location, value and remarks, to facilitate subsequent design and installation personnel to understand.
Data review: Carefully check whether there are any missing or wrong measurement points, compare whether the data at different locations are reasonable, and re-measure and confirm abnormalities in time.
Communicate with designers: Provide data to designers in a timely manner, explain the special needs, usage functions and preferences of the space, and facilitate reasonable design and optimization.
Accurately measuring the size of movable partition materials is the basis for successful installation and good use effect. Good preparation before measurement, attention to key and detailed dimensions, and rigorous record review can provide accurate data for customized installation of partitions and create movable partitions that perfectly fit the space.
