Office Partitioning
What We Do
Gypsum board partitions — also called drywall partitions — are one of the most widely used office dividing systems across Nairobi's commercial buildings. Built from lightweight gypsum plasterboard fixed to a galvanised steel frame, they offer a clean, seamless finish that is easy to paint, wallpaper or tile. At Interiors by Violet, we design and install gypsum partitions for offices, conference rooms, executive suites, kitchenettes and reception areas throughout Nairobi — from Westlands towers to Karen business parks.
Our experienced partitioning teams work efficiently to create smooth, level walls that meet the highest standards of finish. Gypsum partitions can incorporate single or double layers of board for added acoustic performance, and we can integrate insulation, electrical conduits and data cabling within the cavity — keeping your office clean and cable-free.
Benefits
Gypsum partitioning offers the most competitive pricing of all permanent partition systems — ideal for large open-plan conversions on a tight budget.
A standard floor-to-ceiling gypsum partition wall can be erected, taped, filled and ready for painting within 24–48 hours, minimising office downtime.
Double-board or insulation-filled gypsum walls deliver STC ratings of 40–55, making them suitable for meeting rooms and private offices. See also our soundproof partition systems.
We use certified fire-resistant (Type F) gypsum boards where required — critical for fire-rated walls between offices and server rooms or stairwells.
Green-board and cement-board variants are available for washrooms, kitchenettes and any space with elevated humidity levels.
Gypsum partitions accept any surface finish — paint, wallpaper, tiles, cladding, media walls and feature panels — enabling limitless design creativity.
Types
Standard 12.5mm gypsum board on a steel stud frame. The go-to choice for general office subdivision, perimeter walls and corridor partitions. Quick to install and repaint.
Two layers of 12.5mm board on each face of the stud frame — doubled acoustic mass and fire resistance. Recommended for boardrooms and executive offices.
Mineral wool or glasswool insulation packed into the cavity improves acoustic and thermal performance significantly. Popular for Nairobi offices that need genuine privacy.
Combine the economy of gypsum walls with vision panels or half-height glass inserts. Keeps some natural light flowing through the office floor plan.
Curved, sculpted or multi-level gypsum feature walls for reception areas, boardrooms and CEO offices. We work with designers to deliver bespoke architectural finishes.
Certified fire-rated gypsum assemblies for building code compliance — protecting escape routes, server rooms and plant areas as required by the Nairobi Building Code.
