Desk partition for more privacy at the workplace
What is a desk partition used for? Open-plan and multi-person offices are always busy. Direct contact with colleagues is the order of the day, which can have a very positive effect on team cohesion and efficiency. However, the proximity of employees can also become a disruptive factor. The constant noise level can quickly reduce an individual’s concentration and even cause stress. The movement of colleagues in the office or at the screen of the neighboring table can also cause visual distraction.
Our wide range of desk partitions can quickly provide a remedy. The versatile absorbers offer efficient sound insulation and improved room acoustics. They also protect the privacy of individual employees and create visual privacy for better concentration. Individually adapted to your office furnishings, the acoustic partition wall at the desk creates a tidy workplace with a feel-good atmosphere.

Acoustic partition for sound insulation at the desk
Optimized room acoustics are extremely important in multi-person offices. PREFORM desk partitions minimize noise in a simple and sustainable way. The partition acts as an absorber, soaking up the sound generated by speech and other sources of noise before it can reach the other side.
The sound waves are converted into thermal energy in the absorber, which is also known as near-field screening. The earlier this conversion takes place, the less the sound can propagate in the room. Due to the acoustic partition wall at the desk, the high frequencies of human speech are perceived more attenuated, in some cases even completely blocked out.
The result: desk partitions from PREFORM create pleasant acoustics that enable concentrated work. This can significantly improve the acoustics and speech intelligibility in multi-person or open-plan offices. Particularly in open-plan offices or call centers, every employee can concentrate on their work undisturbed.
Work undisturbed with a privacy screen on the desk partition wall
A desk partition can serve as an optimal screen to protect against distractions at the workplace and give employees more privacy. However, the partitions are also available in transparent glass or Plexiglas to maintain an open feeling of space.
Maximum flexibility with our desk partitions
Our desk top screens are perfect for any desk, whether electrically or manually height-adjustable. If the height of the desk is adjusted, the acoustic partition wall on the desk simply moves with it. Mounted with standard adapters or with adaptations individually adapted to your furniture.
With the various table clamps, each element can be individually and easily attached to the different tables. In addition, the table elements can be connected with Velcro or clips as required. Easy assembly and individual visual requirements – PREFORM table top panels meet all requirements.
Desk partitions as an organizational talent
Simple, elegant and ingenious: our acoustic partitions for desks absorb disturbing noises and reduce noise levels. In addition to the excellent noise reduction provided by the right accessories, desk partitions also offer the perfect opportunity to organize the workplace in a simple and space-saving way.
The fabric desk dividers can also be used as a pinboard, for example. PREFORM offers a wide range of accessories for its partition walls to create order in the often chaotic office environment and increase the efficiency of your employees thanks to their sound-absorbing effect.
Why desk partitions for your office?
Acoustic partitions directly at the desk are extremely effective as they absorb sound waves where they are generated. This makes a significant contribution to reducing noise and promoting concentration. Our high-quality desk partitions are easy to install and offer an immediately noticeable effect.
Tips for the purchase of desk partitions
- Choose a desk partition with sound-absorbing materials to effectively reduce the noise level and improve the room acoustics in the office.
- Combine desk partitions with other sound absorbers such as wall absorbers to achieve optimum sound regulation throughout the room.
- A combination with a height-adjustable desk ensures that the sound-absorbing effect of the acoustic partition wall is maintained even when the desk is adjusted.
- Decide whether you prefer a fixed partition wall or a free-standing version that can be repositioned as required.
