Sometimes the need for a provisional enclosure is inevitable at home, school or public place that you do not have the luxury of time to build a wall. It is also impractical to spend so much for a wall that you will be using in one day or a few hours but the need to have some privacy calls for it. This is where portable room dividers come in handy. Portable room dividers are made of light weight materials it can be a three panel shoji screen, fabric screen or a single piece of board or fabric framed in wood standing on wheels that you can easily move and fit together to form an enclosure.
Portable room dividers are also very useful in classrooms. A teacher can easily section the room for reading and art activities by simply putting up one or two portable dividers. With the folding panels and wheels you can easily move it around when needed and store it when you are done. It doesn’t take up much space so very it is very ideal for rooms where storage is limited. Free standing shoji screens are best for dividing large function halls for simultaneous events. It provides minimal privacy but enough to section one group from the other. The advantage of shoji screens is it can diffuse light and not block it so you will be able to conserve energy by using the same lighting for both sectioned rooms.
Building a wall to partition a room is very limited especially in rented and temporary housing facilities. Not every landlord would allow this and considering the cost of building is not practical to everyone. However, for those who own a house and would like to partition a living for example, sliding room dividers would be an elegant addition.
