Richaire Monobloc Partition Systems

 

Richaire Monobloc Partitions are usually chosen from the Invotek range of factory pre-assembled units or from the Avanti Designer range depending on the application. Both systems are non-loadbearing, relocatable systems and offer a full range of single and double glazed panels and solid panels that may be installed with compression joints, or in the case of solid panels may installed with either V joints or ‘tape and fill’ joints.

 

The systems offer a choice of wood, glass hinged doors mounted in wood or metal frames which can be standard height or full height.

 

These partitions are for internal, non-load bearing applications and runs can be straight, or with faceted curves. Panes of glass are supported between floor and ceiling tracks and by similar wall tracks or vertical tracks at the ends of the runs.
