Why supply aluminium room dividers?

Aluminium room dividers are known for their high-quality finish and sophisticated appearance. Though they are suitable for any interior style, they are especially ideal for modern interior surroundings, providing a luxurious addition to a property. Aluminium's durability and resistance to corrosion, warping, and UV exposure make it a long-lasting option compared to materials like wood. The powder coating on aluminium room dividers ensures they remain resilient against daily wear and tear. At Origin, we are able to offer a guarantee of up to 20 years for our OI-30 Internal Doors.

What are the different size and configuration options for aluminium internal room dividers?

Aluminium room dividers are highly customisable. Origin doors are bespoke, so offer a range of internal door sizes, suitable for various applications, ensuring a perfect fit for any space. Customers have the flexibility to choose from various configurations, such as single doors, French doors, fixed screens, or combinations to create corner designs. The sizes are also varied, with options for single doors ranging from minimum sash widths of 300mm to a maximum of 1000mm, and heights ranging from 1500mm to 2500mm. French doors and fixed frames also have similar flexibility in dimensions, allowing for customisation to fit specific spatial requirements. In both instances, fixed frames can be added to the top or side to really enhance a space. Alternatively, the frames can be used as screens to act as a room divider.

Helping a customer specify the right size option

Before buying an internal room divider, it is important for customers to consider the space they are working with and the width and height options that are the most suitable for their surroundings. For example, internal French doors are ideal if your customer has space for a French interior door and they are looking for large glass panels to create make the most of natural light. Popular locations for French internal doors include breaking up the living room and kitchen. Find out more about how customers can achieve different styles with internal room dividers here.

On the other hand, for customers utilising a room divider in a more compact area or working with limited space, a single room divider may be a more suitable choice than an internal French door. Single internal doors are particularly advantageous when dealing with narrower openings. For instance, they are frequently chosen for slender utility rooms, or as entrances to small home offices or kitchen spaces.

A corner internal door configuration is ideal for creating a completely separate room and can cover different sides of a room through the use of a corner post. They are commonly used for creating break out rooms or office rooms; however, corner configuration door sets can be used wherever your customer wants them – for example, to make a home office, snug or sanctuary, or even a private gym.

Customisation and style options for internal room dividers

The aesthetic appeal of Origin’s aluminium room dividers is enhanced by the wide range of available colours, with over 150 RAL colours to choose from. This allows for seamless integration into any interior design theme, whether it’s a modern loft style or a traditional heritage look. Additionally, other options include a range of handle styles, beading (chamfered or square), glazing bar configurations, and even the choice of having blackout panels or kickplates.

To ensure that customers select the right aluminium room divider, it’s important to consider the space where it will be installed, the interior design theme of their space, as well as the specific functional needs like privacy or light flow. You also need to consider aspects such as colours and accessories. For example – are they looking for a darker colour, such as black or grey, to complement their surroundings? Put some consideration into the style they are wishing to achieve. If your customer is looking for a more minimalistic style, you may want to recommend fewer glazing bars as well as classic colours and sleek accessories. Hardware options like kickplates and panels add to the customisation possibilities, ensuring a personalised touch for every customer. Read more about accessory options for internal doors here.
