Why Movable Walls?

If you make a thorough comparison, you’ll see that you can achieve significant savings by implementing movable walls instead of drywall. When you add up complete project costs including those for installation, demolition, paint or coverings, hardware and the time required to install and reconfigure and all related hardware, you’ll see you come out ahead with movable walls. And of course, you get built-in flexibility that’s simply not possible with drywall. Compare for yourself.

MOVABLE WALLS

DRYWALLS

Cost

Cost-competitive when you include all costs — doors, hardware, framing, trim, glazing and vinyl
Less expensive to install — only one trade required
No disposal costs on reconfiguration

May seem less expensive until you do a real "apples to apples” comparison
Higher installation costs — six or more trades plus supervision required
Reconfiguration requires disposal — adds to cost

Installation

Fast, clean installation
Pre-finished — no further painting or finishing needed
Less disruptive to employees — reduced absenteeism
Non-damaging to floors and ceilings

Slow, messy installation
Needs paint or other finishes — adds to time, costs, environmental considerations
Cannot be done with employees working nearby
Damages both floors and ceilings

Flexibility

Reconfiguration can be done in hours
Many choices of wall, glazing, and door types - specifying is easy

Reconfiguration takes weeks
Design choices will require planning, specifying and additional purchases

With Inscape movable walls, you can replace any panel without removing adjacent panels.
