The ELLERS partitions range has been designed with complementary elements to match. From an aesthetic point of view, the eye naturally focuses on the width, height and door frame dimensions. Therefore, it forms a coherent, harmonious and compatible set.

Assembling partitions together is a decisive factor when it comes to assessing the final quality. For this reason, the designers of ELLERS partitions have developed an innovative system that uses mechanized pressure when assembling partitions. This system, subsidized by OSEO-Innovation, is applied to the entire ELLERS range and ensures a fast and accurate fitting without equal.

Each partition installation has its own specification, that is why the ELLERS range has been designed to meet a variety of needs. Thus, the same profile can be varied according to the unique height, acoustic insulation, balustrade and removal expectations of your office space.

Selectingyour partitionsQuestions you should ask yourself

Should my partitions have good noise insulation capability?

The level of noise which can be heard through partitions largely depends on the type of partition used. The ELLERS range offers a large variety of acoustic qualities which meet your needs even in uncomfortable conditions.Acoustic insulation is a key criterion to consider when selecting your partitions, even perhaps more important than that of transparency.

All the acoustic capacities have been measured by a specialized independent body.

This removable characteristic received technical certification from the CEBTP.

In an ever changing world, office space must change with developments in the company.The ELLERS range has been designed to be removable and reusable according to company office space developments.

Howoftenwillmyofficespacebemodified?

Will partitions be higher than the standard heights?

The ELLERS range includes profiles which enable jobs to be undertaken at height. Modern architecture imposes rigidity, height and modulation restrictions, each of which the ELLERS range is able to fulfill.All partition installation set-ups can be undertaken.Reinforced profiles guarantee absolute solidity of the installation.

Reinforced profiles undergo exhaustive laboratory testing. Safety is certified by CEBTP testing.

The ELLERS range also integrates constraints linked to the installation of partitions situated above the open space (mezzanine, staircases, etc.). Resistance to shocks and horizontal pressure was integrated when designing the rangein order to guarantee complete safety to occupants of the partitioned spaces.

Do I need balustrade partitions?

Classicalrange

Far from simply being trendy or fashionable, the classical range represents the appropriate compromise between technical performance, ease of installation and cost.

Essentially composed of covered panels attached with aluminum cover-trims, this range can also accommodate glazed elements ensuring maximum light to penetrate.

The balance between glass, full panels and aluminum framing helps to obtain the best overall value for money.

Cover-trims

The foremost name in office partitions, the cover-trim range meets the requirements of the most frequently used partitioning product.

Traditional decorations such as mineral or glass wool for insulation and covered plaster panels for fillings create a technical combination largely tested with good value for money.

The foremost names in covered industrial plaster now have more and more sophisticated ranges. The use of these materials are no longer synonymous with monotony and second rate design.

The use of these standard filling products facilitates their reuse and the possible maintenance of these partitions.

The use of high density fillings helps to obtain high performance acoustic insulation values.

Possibility of controlling the height of the wall, and matching it with furnishings and workstations.

Breasted wall

From the example of full height partitions, breasted wall partitions represent another aspect of traditional partitions.

With identical design, they however enable light to penetrate between the partitioned spaces while reducing glass surfaces (cost reduction).

Used while adjusting the height of the walls, these partitions can be used as an off-beat means of decoration.

Possibility of improving acoustic quality by using double glazing.

Possibility of using integrated blinds in order to partially or totally obscure the open outlook effect.

Workshop cabins

Profiles can additionally be used on self supporting structures such as workstation desks, including suspended ceilings and/or technical floors. Within an industrial or laboratory environment, these cabins also meet all the required specifications.

Possibility of creating mezzanine type workshop cabins with balustrade profiles.

Transparent range

Today it is essential for professional interior designers to use transparent partitions. They represent a range in their own right thanks to the many variations in terms of frames surrounding the one key element: glass.

So as to meet cost, aesthetic or even acoustic insulation requirements, the ELLERS range has been enriched with a host of different profiles which help to meet any kind of requests.

Connections with other ELLERS ranges are possible, allowing you to create the boldest of combinations.

Edge to edge glazedDouble glazing

From the edge to edge partition simple glazing, this range corrects the main defect that can be found in the first product : a low acoustic value.

While maintaining its maximum transparent qualities, this double glazing partition additionally has very high acoustic qualities which help to facilitate its use in offices.

Edge to edge glazedSimple glazing

The simple edge to edge glazing partition uses aluminum profiles on the sides.

This has become a standard reference in the market today due to architect demands ; this range is ideal for those looking for complete transparency without acoustic performance constraints.

Possibility of using glass between 8 mm to 15 mm, meeting applicable glass safety standards.

Milimetric adjustment of glass positions with the use of wedges which enables a rapid and efficient installation (patented system).

Cover-trim glazed Double glazing

Due to its design, the cover trim with double glazing partition is the most acoustic.Just like the simple glazing partition, glass stops help to use glass from 5 mm to 44/2.

This double glazing partition also enables to integrate pocket doors, which facilitates the use of space and increases the aesthetic nature of the whole unit.

This partition enables to integrate blinds with blades on show.

Cover-trim glazed Simple glazing

The very first full height glazed partition wall is one of the simplest to install.Having very good acoustic values, it is often associated with completely full height modules in order to create light columns.

The use of completely interchangeable profiles helps to transform the partition into double glazing or full height partition in no time.

The ease of installation as well as the use of a single glass makes it economically interesting...

Glazed recessed joint Double glazing

The recessed joint double glazing partition is the most suitable so long as one has to associate acoustic and “light” aluminum.

Possibility of inserting blinds between glazing thus giving volume to the partition and providing it with dynamic qualities.

Glazed recessed joint Simple glazing

The recessed joint transparent range is a link between the complete edge to edge partition and that of the more traditional with aluminum cover-trims.

It allows glass to be fitted flush while ensuring the glass does not move from its position.

Brushed stainless steel finishing labels help to create regular intervals between glasses and create a better finishing level of the unit.

Labels can be replaced with accessories such as shelf doors which provide shelves on glazed partitions with neither glue nor drilling.

Decoration panels

Fitted wooden panels provide partitions a high level of aesthetics. Thanks to this technique, the aluminum is practically invisible, in favour of wood which brings out all the nobility of this material.

This finishing can be made on a surface or on both sides using the same frame as in all the other ranges, thus bringing all the necessary modular functions to the fittings.

Very high acoustic qualities, easy to fix (decorate). Possibility of performing custom-made decoration according to the choice of colours and graining of the wood.

These labels can be replaced by other accessories such as shelf doors. In this layout, the shelf installation is performed immediately and provides value to partition finishing (no drilling).

Thanks to a very high level of acoustic performance, decoration panels perfectly suit to management offices or meeting rooms.

Using stainless steel labels on a base of 3 for 2.50 m of height gives a refined and linear appearance.

Recessed joint partitions

Recessed joint partitions help to hide the cover-trim, consequently the eye focuses on the brushed stainless steel label finishings.Only the top and bottom portions (smooth) allow the aluminum to appear.

Contrary to wooden decorated panels, edge to edge clipped panels allow for smoothness on the top and the base which shows that aluminum elements can constitute a coherent element of design in office units.They are in perfect line with the sobriety and minimalist objective: absence of cover-trims and finishing labels.

Doors

Very often considered as a standard product, doors help to increase the level of the desired finishing.

Many of the ranges on offer are suitable for the classical, transparent or elegant ranges, and these help to propose custom-made products.

The performance of door frames as well as the mechanical parts both determine the quality of doors and also the level of finishing of the unit.

All mechanical systems installed by the ELLERS’ team were tested over approximately 60.000 opening/closing cycles.

An adjustable patented system helps to ensure the complete closing of the doors which is a proof of quality.

Clarit doors meet the highest requirements in terms of transparency, with however slightly reduced acoustic qualities.

The use of locks without advancement of the sliding bolt thus guarantees a perfect plating of the door against the door frame.

These doors are totally invisible and reinforce the transparent effect.

Accessories

ELLERS development teams have established simple accessories which help to complete or customize partitions.

In line with traditional assembly and creativity, accessories have many advantages which enable office development and a favourable office environment.

On the high wall rails, we can see a hook which enables pictures to be hung easily.These hooks can be fixed or removed by the user, moved at will and used for pictures or any other uses (coat hangers, etc.).This accessory can additionally be installed on decoration panels (Elegant range).In all instances, no drilling or screws are required.

Technical plinths are essentially decorative plastic plinths, which help to reduce the aesthetic beauty of offices. In other cases, these plinths are integrated in partitions but they reduce the acoustic qualities of the whole unit.The ELLERS team has designed a double housing technical plinth which enables electric conductivity of 220 v, as well as Internet and telephone connections. The center of this plinth is made of a high performance acoustic insulation, guaranteeing the non-transmission of sounds from one room to the other.Totally integrated in the partition framework, these plinths can also be used vertically or horizontally.

Picture hooks

When the standard flat cover-trim is replaced by a recessed cover-trim, it is possible to add a finishing touch to the unit thanks to a band which can be supplied in any desired colours. This accessory is frequently used in the case of balustrades and requires screwing cover-trim joints and easily hides the screw.

It is possible to install a shelf by using a bracket system integrated into the frame. The two installed angle brackets help to support a loaded shelf, as the weight is thus supported by the frame of the partition.These angle brackets are fitted without boring and can easily be removed or moved.

Aluminum spinners of the ELLERS range were given to extruders located in the Euro zone and mainly in Portugal and Switzerland. These choices meet quality requirements but also aims at reducing transportation when supplying the main stocks of Lyon.

Referenced extruders integrate a re-melting aluminum chain that helps to optimize waste on site.

The Lyon-based factory has installed an aluminum chipping recovery system when cutting profiles before sending them to the construction site.During the supply of uncut bars, the “factory departure” supply procedure is favoured thereby reducing transport to the barest minimum.Supplying in 6m, 3m or custom-made bars is also possible. It avoids unnecessary transportation and excessive use of tools during refurbishment of office work.

Logistics

Aluminum is a recyclable product. Designers of the ELLERS range have optimized the recyclability of profiles all along the production chain.

Overall environmental impact also concerns material transportation. Logistics networks have thus been adapted in order to reduce energy balance and their consequences to the barest minimum.

Aluminum has an excellent level of recyclability thanks to a re-melting process. The process is ecological because it avoids the electrolysis process which is very polluting.Compared to extraction from the bauxite mineral, recycling requires 95 % less energy and a ton of recycled aluminum helps to save four tons of bauxite.

Some characteristics of aluminum :• Aluminum is continuously recyclable. • Close to 35 % of the world aluminum demand is satisfied

by recycled aluminum from second fusion.• The production of aluminum from the second fusion requires

only 5% of the electricity needed for the first fusion. • The aluminum industry has reduced the intensity of its

emissions of GES by more than 50% since 1990.

Reminder: Acoustic insulation is aimed at diminishing sound energy. It is rated with RW.

*Rw (C;Ctr)This index is not often used because it is considered as irrelevant. C and Ctr indexes were implemented when the new European norm was created. This measure is expressed with DB and rates the ability to soundproof a product or a material. The higher RW is., the more insulating the material is. We make a difference between white noise (road traffic, trains) rated with Ctr and pink noise (conversation, music, TV) rated with C.

**Ra= Rw+CDB, which used to be Rrose (dB(A)), is the new European standard to rate acoustic insulation.
