Abstract
A partition system for dividing a building space, the building space having a floor, a ceiling and walls bounding the space between the ceiling and floor. The partition system includes self-supporting wire mesh paneling, which is attached to least one post that is mounted to the floor of the building space. Each post extends from the floor up to a predefined height that may be less than the height of the ceiling of the building.
Claims27
A partition system in a building space, the building space having a floor, a ceiling and side walls bounding the space between the floor and the ceiling, said partition system comprising:
- a) at least one post having a lower end and an upper end, the lower end mounted to the floor of the building space, the upper end being freestanding without attachment to the ceiling of the building space;
- b) self-supporting wire mesh paneling mounted to said at least one post, said paneling including at least one panel of unframed, substantially flat wire mesh;
- c) wherein said at least one post and said paneling are arranged to define at least one wall dividing the building space.
A method for installing a partition system in a building space, the building space having a floor, a ceiling and side walls bounding the space between the floor and the ceiling, the partition system including at least one post and self-supporting wire mesh paneling, the paneling including at least one panel of unframed, substantially flat wire mesh, said method comprising:
- a) mounting the at least one post to the floor of the building;
- b) mounting the paneling to the at least one post, whereby the at least one post and the paneling are arranged to define at least one wall dividing the building space;
- c) adapting the partition system to a condition of the building space by cutting at least one panel of the paneling at the time of installation without affecting an integrity of the installed paneling.
A partition system for a building space, the building space having a floor, a ceiling and side walls bounding the space between the floor and the ceiling, said partition system comprising:
- a) at least one post adapted to be mounted to the floor of the building space;
- b) at least one panel of unframed, substantially flat wire mesh made up of vertical and horizontal wires that are joined where they cross, the horizontal wires being characterized by a gauge that is heavier than that of the vertical wires;
- c) wherein said at least one panel is mountable to said at least one post for defining at least one wall within the building space.
