Laying out panels on office partitions

Spacing, height and coverage for panels on demountable and glass office partitions.

2 minute read · Updated Nov 2026

On office partitions, panels work best spread out in groups rather than in one block. Start at reflection points, then fill evenly.

  • Center panels around head height: about 48 in seated, 57 in standing.
  • Leave consistent gaps (3–6 in) within a grouping so it reads as one composition.
  • Offset panels on facing walls so bare wall never faces bare wall.
  • Keep 4–6 in from corners and ceilings so panels look intentional.

Plan it in the layout builder, or start from an idea starter.
