Welcome to the
National Partitions discount store, featuring prefabricated
modular inplant office
kits designed for fast assembly and years of maintenance free use inside a
manufacturing facility.
IMPORTANT PRODUCT COMPARISONS:
1. Heavy Duty Steel Doors vs flimsy wood
Our prefabricated doors are pre-hung in the wall panel and are only heavy
duty industrial grade steel. We use a heavier gage steel jamb which
is important for support, and to prevent sagging, and our doors are gasketed to
minimize noise and air leaks.
The door is the most important component in a prefabricated building; a cheap door means a cheap office.
2. Galvanized Steel Components and Doors vs regular steel or aluminum
Our modular components are corrosion resistant and we design for durability.
We use steel because it is stronger than aluminum and has superior fire resistance.
3. 5/8" gypsum vs 1/2 regular gypsum or hardboard
Our in-plant offices have nearly three (3) times the fire resistance and much better sound
deadening than our rivals. Beware of building code violations with hardboard and foam walls - this
construction is illegal in most areas. This is a well known fact in the industry - yet many manufacturers
and online retailers continue to ignore the law, putting economic gain ahead of safety. We strongly suggest that you avoid
these CLASS C systems. If they offer hardboard and foam walls, you need to ask yourself, what other safety short cuts do they take? Also,
beware of our rival with wall panels that use only a foam stud core, and not a full supporting core for strength
and insulation.
4. 3" thick walls vs 1.75"
Thicker modular walls for superior insulation and strength. We don't offer flimsy
thin walls. And please don't be fooled by those claiming to use 4" thick walls, besides actually
being just over 3", these walls do not match our higher fire and sound performance values, they just
take up more space.
5. Universal Non-Progressive Modular Components vs special sized progressive components
Our prefabricated systems are designed for maximum flexibility by making components
interchangeable and not specialized. Our electrical posts are the same
size as our standard connecting posts and are interchangeable. Our solid wall panels, door panels and window
panels are interchangeable and individually accessible (non-progressive) to allow
fast and easy wall panel replacement or reconfigurations. These features are the essence of modular construction -
and many of our rivals don't have these designs. Being Prefabricated
doesn't always mean "Modular"; it's a term that is often misused.
6. Steel electrical conduit vs plastic or none at all
We don't use bare wires in our connecting electrical posts and we don't use cheap connectors
for our modular wiring - Our wiring components are heavy duty commercial quality and are industry standards
that have stood the test of time for safety. We also don't sell pig-tailed outlets and call that pre-wired; this
will not save you money with your electrician. Our modular wiring is fully wired up to the breaker panel and also
disconnects and reconnects easy when you need to make a change or move your office.
7. Color matched building components vs aluminum vertical posts
We believe looks matter, so we don't have the ugly aluminum zebra stripes on our modular walls.
8. All modular wall components on our in-plant office models are pre-sized and cut to length for easy assembly
No field cutting required, to make installations fast and easy.
9. 10 year Written Limited Warranty for all interior building systems vs 1 year
National Partitions has been in the prefabricated building systems business for
40+ years. We are so confident with our manufacturing and designs that our warranty is 10 times our rivals.
We offer all these features with our modular inplant offices, and our prices are
still the lowest in the industry!
LEED - Build Green
Whether you are building a LEED certified green facility or not,
you will still benefit from the accumulated savings our prefabricated
inplant office provides. 1. We
recycle and use recyclable materials. 2. Our walls are insulated, energy efficient, and maintenance
free. 3. Our systems are relocateable, reconfigurable, and reusable. All of these features increase LEED qualified points, and your savings.
Quick Ship Program
Many models ship in less than 5 business days days. Eligible products
include ValueWall 8' high without structural steel roof supports. Other models ship in 7-15 business
days. Vision tower options typically add 10-15 days.
Relocate and Reuse
The number one reason for buying our system is the ability to
easily take the inplant office down and relocate it. This feature benefits the small firm that leases because
the inplant office always remains their asset. When it is time to move, the
inplant office can go with them. For
larger companies, should their needs
change, and the inplant office would be better suited
elsewhere then it can be moved and they never lose their original investment.
Fast Occupancy
Our systems install up to 75% faster than stick-built. The standard small
inplant office is assembled
and ready to move in, in one day, with conventional construction that time can be weeks. Weeks of sub
contractors and inspections can put any company behind schedule and this can translate directly into
money lost. The faster you are back to normal the faster you get back to business.
Reduces Labor Costs by up to 50%
This could be a very conservative figure... considering the installation speed of
inplant office products
and the reduction in trades necessary to build, you could find this savings tremendous. It takes only
one crew to assemble an inplant office building, and several trades like glazers, painters, carpenters
etc. to build conventionally... the larger the project, the more the savings.
Up to 33% less than Conventional
Most of our customers find that they can save up to 33% on their construction costs by using our
inplant
office. The reason is high speed and automated manufacturing processes. This productivity can not be
matched by any construction crew. In fact, just one of our fabrication lines can produce over 15,000
square feet of finished wall panels in a single shift. And as any experienced builder can tell you,
site construction is labor intensive and expensive.
No Flimsy Thin Walls
Our 3 inch System has almost twice the thickness and twice the
strength of our competitor's 1-3/4 inch walls. This added thickness makes a substantially more stable
inplant office system. With National Partitions you get a solid, sturdy structure -- you will never have rattling
walls or glass from closing a door. And with twice the insulation, you will enjoy savings on heating
and cooling your structure.
No Ugly Zebra Stripes
Why settle for ugly zebra
stripes when a cleaner more
attractive wall is available and
costs less? Unfinished or mismatched
components are unacceptable. Our
inplant office products are designed to be more attractive
with a monolithic, more conventional look. Our components match the walls and do not have ugly zebra
stripes.
Non-Progressive Design
When buying an inplant office building system an important feature to look for is a non-progressive design.
A non-progressive system is the most flexible. This design allows you to access an individual panel
and replace it without disturbing adjacent panels. If you need to swap locations of doors, windows or
solid panels you can do that easily. If a panel is damaged, you can remove that panel and replace it.
Our systems have the advantage of being non-progressive. A progressive wall is installed in a
sequence. It has a one-piece connection system (like a sideways H) that will not allow the removal of
a single wall panel without removing adjacent panels. Changing the location or replacing a panel can
be very labor intensive and disruptive. Progressive systems defeat the advantages of buying a modular
design.
