Here are some of the most important elements - Published: 2025-05-28 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/blog/key-features-of-office-ceilings/ - Categories: Blog As an office ceiling installer with years of experience, we’ve come to appreciate how crucial the correct ceiling system is to the overall function and comfort of a workplace. Ceilings may not always grab attention, but when chosen and installed correctly, they significantly impact acoustics, lighting, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. At Tapper Interiors, we are an office construction and fit-out partner, we specialise in office ceilings and partitions, if you’re looking to upgrade your office and maximise your space then contact us today. Types of Office Ceilings There are several types of ceilings commonly installed in office environments, each serving different practical and design needs: Suspended ceilings These are by far the most popular and you will have come across them in the past. They consist of a grid framework with tiles, typically made from mineral fibre, metal, or plasterboard. They allow easy access to services like air conditioning, lighting, and wiring hidden above the ceiling void. Suspended ceilings are one of the most common types that we install. Exposed ceilings Often seen in more modern or industrial-style offices, where the ductwork and structure are left visible. These require specialist acoustic treatment to manage noise levels. Acoustic ceilings These are another popular choice and are specifically designed to improve sound absorption and reduce reverberation within a busy space such as an office. These are especially useful in open-plan offices or meeting areas where noise could be a problem. MF (metal frame) plasterboard ceilings A solid ceiling option that can... --- ### Utilising Interior Fit-Out Elements to Increase Efficiency in Your Office > At Tapper Interiors, here’s how we utilise interior fit-out elements to increase efficiency in offices across the UK - Published: 2025-04-28 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/blog/utilising-interior-fit-out-elements-to-increase-efficiency-in-your-office/ - Categories: Blog At Tapper Interiors we understand that a well-designed office isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about efficiency, productivity, and creating an environment where your team can thrive. As specialists in partition walls and suspended ceilings, we’ve seen first-hand how utilising interior fit-out solutions can transform a space and lead to increased efficiency. From creating additional room with mezzanine floors to improving acoustics and lighting, here’s how we utilise interior fit-out elements to increase efficiency in offices across the UK. How Interior Fit-Out Elements Can Increase Efficiency in Your Office Here are some of our favourite ways to utilise space and increase efficiency. Maximise Space with Mezzanine Floors Space is at a premium in most modern offices, especially as teams expand and operations grow. A mezzanine floor offers an innovative and cost-effective way to increase usable space without the need for relocation or extensive construction work. Whether used for additional desks, meeting rooms, storage, or even breakout areas, mezzanine floors make the most of your existing vertical space while maintaining a seamless flow throughout the office. Mezzanine floors also make a great addition to warehouses as they can utilise the high ceilings. They are perfect for creating office space or storage areas.

Amongst our services offerings, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality suspended ceiling solutions for schools and colleges. We have years of expertise in supplying and installing suspended ceilings that meet the unique needs of educational institutions. We understand what it takes to create functional, aesthetically pleasing, and durable spaces. You will probably be aware that many educational facilities use similar looking ceilings, these are suspended ceilings which are very typical for this sector. Let’s explore why suspended ceilings are the go-to for schools and colleges. Why Suspended Ceilings Are Used in Schools and Colleges Suspended ceilings, also known as dropped ceilings, are a common sight in educational buildings. But what makes them so essential in these environments? Acoustic Control - Classrooms, lecture halls, and assembly areas often require effective soundproofing to minimise distractions and create a quiet learning environment. Our suspended ceilings incorporate acoustic tiles that absorb noise, which is especially critical in open-plan spaces, music rooms, or areas prone to echo and sound reverberation that are found in schools and colleges. Energy Efficiency - Suspended ceilings reduce the height of a room, thereby minimising the space that needs heating or cooling. This translates into lower energy bills and a more sustainable building. They also provide good insulation to heat the room. Aesthetic Appeal - Beyond practicality, suspended ceilings enhance the visual appeal of any room as they neatly conceal unsightly elements such as the services above. Improved Lighting – Our suspended... --- ### Top Office Design Trends for 2025 > There are several office design trends that we believe will be big in 2025.

As interior fit-out specialists, we complete many office interiors throughout the course of a year. During our time in the industry, we have seen trends come in and out of fashion. So, what does 2025 hold for us? Top Office Design Trends for 2025 There are several office design trends that we believe will be big in 2025. Most of these have been popular in 2024, but they should continue to grow through the new year. Embracing Natural Light – Making the most of the natural light in your office space can be important for so many reasons. It is important for the mental health and well-being of your employees to be exposed to it whilst also making the office a more pleasant place to be. If you’re working in an open-plan office space, then glass partitions can be a great way to maximise the natural light available whilst creating smaller meeting rooms and lowering noise levels. Adaptable Working Spaces – since the pandemic, many workplaces have kept their hybrid working model. This means that their office space is used in a very different way. Offices can now be smaller as they don’t need to house all employees at the same time. One of the office design trends for 2025 is to embrace this by creating adaptable workspaces. Hot desking and video conferencing are becoming more popular, so... --- ### JCT 600 Brooklands Car Show Room Fit-Out > Works consisted of an extension and refurbishment of an existing car dealership to convert into a three, Bentley, Rolls Royce & Aston Martin. - Published: 2024-11-28 - Modified: 2024-11-28 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/case-studies/jct-600-brooklands-car-show-room-fit-out/ - Categories: Case Studies, Showroom Fit-Out The works consisted of the extension and refurbishment of an existing dealership to convert into a three car dealership, Bentley, Rolls Royce and Aston Martin. The works were undertaken over a 6 month period and included many brand specific details, with the added complexity that the Aston Martin details were not finalised until two months before the end of the project. Works began with dry lining and partitions to separate the three dealerships and create a new larger workshop. Ceilings were mainly MF throughout with various recesses and bulkheads to define each brand. Within the MF ceilings were bespoke metal pan and barrisol style ceilings. The glass partitions varied from dealership to dealership with differing manifestations, framework and styles of doors. Joinery consisted of doors of varying sizes and fire ratings with some bespoke frames to hide hinges. The skirting ranged from painted plant on MDF to recessed stainless steel finish. Various tea points/breakout areas and IPS completed the joinery. Hygienic cladding was fitted to various areas. --- ### Car Showroom Fit-Out | Ideas and Elements > When it comes to car showroom fit-outs, we understand that every element must contribute to a visually impactful and highly functional space - Published: 2024-11-26 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/blog/car-showroom-fit-out-ideas-and-elements/ - Categories: Blog When designing a car showroom, the goal is to create an environment that not only exhibits the vehicles and shows them in their best light but also enhances the customer experience.

Here are some of our top fit-out ideas tailored for car showrooms. 1. Partition Walls to Define Spaces Partition walls play a critical role in car showroom design. Glass partitions are an excellent choice for creating a seamless, open feel while providing clearly defined spaces. They allow natural light to flow, creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere that enhances the showroom's aesthetics. They also create a feeling of openness, they make great corner offices or customer lounges without compromising on natural light flow. Solid partition walls, on the other hand, can be used to create more private spaces. They are great for staff areas or storage rooms that you don't necessarily want your customers... --- ### Guthrie Douglas – Full Office Fit-Out and Mezzanine Installation > We recently worked on a mezzanine installation and interior fit-out for Guthrie Douglas, a specialist in blinds for architectural projects. - Published: 2024-10-25 - Modified: 2025-01-31 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/case-studies/guthrie-douglas-full-office-fit-out-and-mezzanine-installation/ - Categories: Case Studies, Showroom Fit-Out We recently worked on an interior fit-out for Guthrie Douglas, a specialist in blinds for architectural projects. This entire project took around five months to complete, with a total value of £365k. The Project Initially, we removed the existing ceilings and floor coverings within the office area to enable us to undertake the new work. Mezzanine Floor Installation The works consisted of a mezzanine floor with a production area above and a kitchen/breakout area below. As well as constructing the mezzanine floor itself, we also provided a fire rated MF ceiling to the underside of the mezzanine floor, intumescent paint to the steel work and fire rated glass partitions to the compartment wall between the breakout area and the shop floor. These were all additional safety features to ensure the staff remain safe in the event of a fire. Mezzanine floors are a very popular way to make the most of the vertical space available. Find out more about them here. Office Fit-Out Within the offices, we adapted the grid ceilings and supplied and fitted new acoustic plasterboard ceilings. We installed glass partitions; these were double-glazed with Komfort Sonik doors. Bespoke manifestations were added to the glass partitions and screens. Within kitchen breakout area we created a communal space for break times which is important for staff morale and employee well-being. WCs and Flooring We provided 3 different floor types within the project. These were; floor paint to the new breakout area, vinyl to the WC’s and carpet tiles to... --- ### Using Partition Walls to Transform Your Space > If you are considering investing in partition walls to transform your space and would like some more information, contact our team today. - Published: 2024-10-24 - Modified: 2024-10-24 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/blog/using-partition-walls-to-transform-your-space/ - Categories: Blog For many of our clients, using partition walls to transform a space is the top priority. Partition walls are extremely versatile and are one of the best ways to make the most use of your space. If you are considering investing in partition walls and would like more information, contact our team today. How Can Partition Walls Transform Your Space? There are several ways in which a partition wall can transform your space. Create privacy without losing light and space - One of the issues we find businesses face is the need to create privacy for employees while keeping the space's open-plan feel. Glass partitions can provide the best solution for this. Segregate different areas of your space - Having worked in many different office spaces, we know how important it can be to add partition walls to segregate different areas. For example, in an office, the kitchen may benefit from becoming a separate room rather than keeping the open plan feel where things may get noisy or distracted. Or, in a studio flat, you may consider using partitions to create some rooms for variety. Smaller breakout rooms can be created in schools and educational buildings for working on projects or quiet study areas. The possibilities are endless. Add a Decorative Element - Although the main reason for investing in a partition wall is for space and privacy, it can also become a statement wall and provide a decorative element to your home, office, or educational space.

Are break-out rooms required? How best can you use the space? Aesthetics and Branding - Can you choose materials that reflect your brand identity and create a visually appealing environment? Can your logo be incorporated? Or can you choose materials that are your band colour? Durability - We always advise opting for materials that can withstand daily wear and tear. This ensures longevity and reduces maintenance costs. Budget Considerations - Explore financing or leasing options for expensive materials or furniture. Safety and Compliance - Ensure all materials meet local building codes and regulations. This includes fire-resistant materials, non-slip flooring, and non-toxic finishes.

They can make a space more adaptable and improve storage efficiency. They provide additional usable space without requiring a significant structural overhaul. At Tapper Interiors, we can supply and fit mezzanine floors in a range of buildings. We have found they are particularly popular in warehouses but also used in showrooms and other large buildings. Key Aspects of Mezzanine Floors in Warehouses Here are some key aspects and benefits, that you may wish to think about if you’re considering adding a mezzanine floor to your warehouse. Construction - Mezzanine floors are commonly constructed of materials including steel, aluminium, and sometimes reinforced concrete. The choice depends on the load-bearing needs and the warehouse environment. Load Capacity - Different materials have different weight limits and capacities. Ensure your mezzanine is designed to support the weight of stored goods, machinery, and personnel. Staircases and Ladders - Mezzanine floors in warehouses will need to have a strong and sturdy access point. Consider the type of staircase or ladder you require and what it will be used for. Benefits of Mezzanine Floors in Warehouses There are several benefits of building a mezzanine floor in a warehouse. Some of the most common ones are: Increased Storage Capacity – A mezzanine floor allows you to maximise the use of vertical space, effectively doubling or even tripling the available storage area. Cost-Effective Expansion – Mezzanine floors are more affordable than constructing a new facility or extending the... --- ### Tapper Interiors signs the RICS Conflict of Avoidance Pledge > Tapper Interiors has joined other leading construction groups and partners in signing the RICS Conflict Avoidance Pledge. - Published: 2024-06-07 - Modified: 2024-08-30 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/news/tapper-interiors-signs-the-rics-conflict-of-avoidance-pledge/ - Categories: News Tapper Interiors has joined other leading construction groups and partners in signing the RICS Conflict Avoidance Pledge.

One area we are often contracted for is showroom interiors. We have worked in showroom interiors for many years and are well-known in the industry.   Elements of Showroom Interior Fit-outs  When it comes to showroom interiors, there are several elements that are often utilised. This is because they help break the space into smaller areas or help with the overall acoustics.   Glass Partitions - Glass partitions are often used in showrooms as they help with natural lighting and can make the space look big and bright. They also look very chic and professional, perfect for car showrooms. Glass partitions are perfect for break-out rooms with clients. It's encouraging for new clients to be able to see staff busy with existing clients, but the acoustics of the glass partitions still allow for privacy of the conversation.   Partition Walls - In addition to glass partitions, you may also want to invest in solid partition walls for your showrooms. These are perfect for staff areas or break-out offices where more privacy is required. Suspended Ceilings - We also specialise in suspended ceilings. These are an important part of a showroom or office as they can greatly affect the acoustics of the room. They can also help with insulation and aesthetics. Acoustic Elements - In wide open spaces such as showrooms, there can often be issues with sound levels and noise control.

At Tapper Interiors, we supply and fit office partitions to divide open-plan spaces and improve the working environment. Although an open-plan office can have several advantages, we believe it’s always a good idea to have at least some separate spaces for private meetings or a quieter workplace. Advantages of Open Plan Offices There are several advantages of open-plan offices, and depending on the size of your organisation or the structure of communication, you may find them helpful. Some of the main benefits of open-plan offices are: Easy Collaboration and Communication: Open-plan offices allow for easy communication and collaboration among employees, as there are no physical barriers between them. This can lead to increased idea-sharing and teamwork. Layout Flexibility: The open space means the office can be easily rearranged. Desks and workstations can be rearranged where required for better collaboration or as the size of the team changes. Share Natural Light: in an open-plan office, natural light is able to flow freely throughout the office. This creates a brighter and more spacious environment. Access to Managers and Management Involvement: Without physical barriers in an open-plan office, managers can easily oversee their teams and provide support when needed. Disadvantages of Open Plan Offices Now we have considered the advantages of open-plan offices, here are some of the disadvantages: No or Little Privacy: Open-plan offices offer little privacy. This has been known to be detrimental to tasks that require concentration... --- ### Office and Warehouse Fit-out in Oxfordshire > Find out more about the full office & warehouse fit-out we provided for our clients.

For this project, it was all about dividing the space to create smaller functional areas for privacy whilst allowing for light to flow through the building. Glass partitions were also used for segregating different office areas. Because of the building regulations and requirements, there was a combination of both fire and non-fire-rated glass partitions. The glass partitions came from Komfort and included their Sonik acoustic glass doors.   A mezzanine floor was built; these are great for expanding your available floor space in buildings with high ceilings. This was a complete office fit-out, so we also fitted a kitchen and various W. Cs, complete with flooring, ceramic wall tiling and kitchens from Howdens.   An automatic door from Axis Entrance Systems was fitted at the entrance to the office, along with various laminate timber doors throughout.   Overall, this was an excellent project for us, and the finished space is now a pleasant working environment. --- ### Schüco UK – Showroom Acoustic Solutions from Tapper Interiors > Find out more about the showroom acoustic solutions we provided for our clients.

The perimeter of each raft was elegantly framed with a black metal profile, enhancing the overall visual appeal.

These rafts are equipped with black acoustic fleece and class A acoustic pads for added sound absorption. We fitted these rafts around the existing lighting fixtures.

They are a versatile construction solution which can be used for extensions or stand-alone buildings in various industries. At Tapper Interiors, we have completed many SFS projects, some of which are on our Case Studies page. If you are considering a steel framing system or have questions about the process, contact the team at Tapper today. What is a Steel Framing System?   A Steel Framing System is a robust, lightweight, highly sturdy steel structure that can be used as a load-bearing wall. This makes them perfect for extensions of commercial buildings and external structures. You may have seen an SFS in process. The distinct steel frames for the structure complete the system, which also includes external grade boards and insulation. The steel used in these systems is manufactured using a cold rolling process, which produces lightweight, C-formed studs to give them maximum strength and versatility. The lightweight steel studs can be used in a wide variety of load-bearing and non-load-bearing constructions. Types of Steel Framing Systems  There are three main types of steel framing systems available. Infill walls represent the most prevalent form of Steel Framing Systems (SFS). These walls consist of individual panels cut to size for onsite installation. Positioned between the steel frame floor and the ceiling or underside of the floor above, they effectively "fill in" the external wall areas. Continuous walls, another SFS variant, feature panels extending to the structure's ends, often termed... --- ### Office Acoustic Solutions from Tapper Interiors > When fitting office partitions, walls, or ceilings, we ensure our clients receive the right office acoustic solutions for their expectations - Published: 2024-02-26 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/blog/office-acoustic-solutions/ - Categories: Blog At Tapper Interiors, we specialise in partition walls and suspended ceilings for various building types, one of which is offices.

Their primary purpose is to absorb sound. They lower noise levels and reduce echoing, making the space more appropriate for office work and meetings.

This is particularly important in commercial settings, such as busy offices or loud classrooms, where noise control is essential. Different levels of sound absorption are available depending on your requirements, so contact us if you want to discuss your options. Aesthetics - Suspended ceilings are often used because they provide a polished and finished look. The tiles can conceal unsightly wires, pipes, and ductwork, creating a clean and professional appearance. Again, this is particularly useful in schools and offices. They are also often used in older buildings with higher ceilings to hide more modern features which have been added later—for example, electric installations and pipework.

What is a Partition Wall Constructed From?   Partition walls can be constructed of various materials depending on where they are used. Some of the options we offer at Tapper Interiors are; Metal Framed Partition Walls Metal framed partition walls consist of a metal frame with plasterboard and insulation. They are solid partition walls, meaning they provide privacy and are perfect for breakout rooms in offices, dividing classrooms in schools, or creating additional rooms in the home. Metal framed partition walls have different types of plasterboard options, and each one is suited to a different application or environment. Fire-resistant plasterboards are often selected for partition walls in laboratories, warehouses or other high-risk areas. Moisture-resistant plasterboards are perfect for bathrooms and the like. The sound block board adds an extra sound barrier. The type and thickness of the insulation in a metal framed partition wall depends on your requirements. Choose from 25mm or 50mm isowool insulation or the Rockwood batt for the highest level of insulation soundproofing.

At Tapper Interiors, we have been contracted to construct soundproof partition walls in many industries and buildings over the years. What are Soundproof Partition Walls?   Soundproof partition walls, also known as acoustic partition walls, are a great way to divide a large space into smaller rooms without the need for planning permission. They are designed to minimise sound transmission between different areas or rooms. Partition walls are commonly used in various settings, such as offices, conference rooms, residential spaces, and other commercial buildings, to create acoustically isolated areas. Soundproof Partition Wall Features and Options  When it comes to acoustic partition walls, there are different options available depending on your requirements. Material Options – depending on your requirements, Tapper Interiors can offer various materials and options for soundproof partition walls. Stud Walls: Acoustic walls often use materials with high mass, such as dense gypsum board or specialist acoustic panels. Mass helps to block the transmission of sound waves. We can then also add insulation materials, such as acoustic batts, within the wall structure to absorb sound and prevent it from passing through. The insulation is available in various thicknesses depending on the acoustic requirement. Glass Walls: as well as stud walls, we also offer glass partition walls. These can be constructed using acoustic glass and double-glazed to help with soundproofing. These are perfect in situations where privacy is required, but the flow of natural... --- ### What Is Drylining? > What is drylining?

At Tapper Interiors, drylining is one of the many services we offer. We use drylining in conjunction with our partition wall installation. If you are considering partition walls for your office, warehouse, or home, then contact our friendly team to discuss your options. What is Drylining?   Drylining is a process to line internal walls. It involves fixing ready-made plasterboard sheets to an internal wall or partition. Because the plasterboard sheets are ready-made, the process is much quicker and cleaner than using wet plaster. Drylining provides a smooth finish to a wall, making it suitable for painting or wallpapering, depending on your preference. It is mainly used on both walls and ceilings. Drylining can provide both heat and sound insulation, making it the perfect choice for many types of buildings. Where is Drylining Used? Drylining is used in various types of buildings and industries. Depending on the industry, different types of plasterboard may be required. If your wall is in an area where water is present, then a moisture-resistant plasterboard is required. These will withstand the damp conditions without showing signs of damage. For areas where there is a high risk of fire, then fire-resistant plasterboard may be required. These burn slower than standard plasterboards, which slows down the spread of a fire should one start. There are also different thicknesses of plasterboard available if soundproofing or insulation is a priority. The standard thicknesses are 12. 5mm or 15mm. Drylining is used anywhere... --- ### Industrial Interior Fit-Outs > Industrial interior fit-outs: The process of designing and altering the industrial or commercial buildings without making structural changes. - Published: 2023-10-19 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/blog/industrial-interior-fit-outs/ - Categories: Blog Industrial interior fit-outs refer to the process of designing and altering the interior spaces of industrial or commercial buildings without making structural changes.

Glass partitions provide a sleek-looking modern finish which gives your office a sense of professionalism. Drinks Stations and Kitchenettes  Having refreshments accessible for your employees is great for employee morale. But what’s the best way to provide this in a minimal space and in a way that looks professional? We’ve worked on various projects where we have fitted a drinks station in an open office. It often includes work surfaces for food preparation, coffee and hot drinks machines and a fridge for cold drinks. Crittall Style Partitions  Crittall-style partitions are constructed of glass with banding applied to create various styles. They are becoming more popular due to their modern look. They also provide plenty of natural light, and the steel frames strengthen the partition. We’ve recently installed Crittall-style partitions in office fit-outs and homes.

A fit-out in construction is the internal overhauling, redesigning and construction of an internal space. This could be an office, a home, an educational building, or any other indoor space. At Tapper Interiors, we specialise in fit-outs in all industries on various different types of buildings. Some of our more popular areas for fit-out include car showrooms, offices and schools. Fit-outs can vary in size, they can be large or small depending on the requirements and the space available. What is a Fit-Out in Construction? In a construction fit-out, the inside space is transformed into an area to be habitable and useable for people. Often, the purpose of the space is completely changed along with the layout. In offices and business buildings, the use of different types of partitions and ceilings means that large spaces can be converted to create a more suitable or desirable layout. Spaces such as breakout rooms, boardrooms, offices, or storage areas can all be created during a construction fit-out. Mezzanine floors can be added to warehouse spaces to use space more efficiently. There are also specific types of partitions suitable for warehouses and industrial areas as well as cleanroom environments. In schools or educational buildings, we can create corridors, alter classrooms, add new ceilings. All these elements work together to transform the space making it a beautiful area for students to learn in. All our partitions and ceilings have varying degrees of acoustic and fire rated properties. These can... --- ### Tapper Interiors: FIS Contractors Awards Finalists > At Tapper Interiors we are thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted as finalists for this years’ FIS Contractors Awards. - Published: 2023-05-12 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/news/fis-award-finalists/ - Categories: News At Tapper Interiors we are thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted as finalists for this years’ FIS Contractor Awards.

The system itself is able to withstand extreme weather including high winds, heavy snow and harsh rain. Fast Construction – SFS can be constructed very quickly. Some of our projects take a little as sixteen weeks from start to finish. The steel is pre-fabricated off site which allows for easy and quick assembly when on-site this reduces the time of construction when compared to other methods for extending buildings.

They can withstand heavy use which makes them a perfect choice for classrooms and offices where there will be many people walking on them wearing shoes. They are also great for sound absorption – another great reason to select them for schools and office. Carpet tiles are easy to keep clean and replace if required.

As they have recently expanded and moved. - Published: 2022-12-12 - Modified: 2025-01-31 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/case-studies/botsandus/ - Categories: Case Studies, Commercial, Office fit-out The Brief BotsAndUs is a client we have worked for in the past at their previous office. As they have recently expanded and moved to a office they needed a new layout to suit their requirements. What We Did To help them get the most out of their space, We used glass partitions to create new offices, breakout area/kitchen area and meeting room. Glass Partitions are a great way to divide the space in big office areas. Depending on the glass chosen, they can be soundproof, providing privacy. They are also great for allowing natural light to flow. This means new rooms can be created whilst still having a spacious and light feel. How We Made a Difference Due to the high level services we had to construct bulkheads first to build our glass partitions up to. For added privacy to the meeting room we added a full manifestation band. Again, this keeps the natural light but ensures the meeting room remains private. We also added DDA 50mm dot manifestations to other glass partitions for safety – this is a requirement for glass partitions. For the glass partitions, we used both 12mm toughened glass and 12. 8mm acoustic glass. The total project value came to £33,000. 00 and was delivered on time and within budget. --- ### Bloxham Mill Oxfordshire > We worked with Woolridge and Simpson to refurb and rearrange Bloxham Mill office space and breakout area in Oxfordshire. - Published: 2022-11-28 - Modified: 2025-01-31 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/case-studies/bloxham-mill-oxfordshire/ - Categories: Case Studies, Commercial, Office fit-out We worked with Woolridge and Simpson to refurb and rearrange Bloxham Mill office space and breakout area in Oxfordshire.

This project included various works with an external and internal phase. The Scope To start with, the existing outside walls of the building were removed by a demolition company. We then started to build SFS – steel framing systems to provide an external structure extension. The SFS we built went from the ground, 1st and 2nd floors with a parapet to the flat roof. Weather defence boards were fitted to the external of the structure. We fitted these also. The internal fit-out included us drylining the SFS from the inside. We also constructed various internal partitions with various fire ratings and acoustics. The ceilings we constructed consisted of MF plasterboard ceilings which were painted black to give a better aesthetic, and acoustic baffles fitted to the underside to help with sound absorption. We also constructed a shaft wall around a number of service shafts. A shaft wall is different to an ordinary partition wall as it must be constructed with access to one side only.

See the new look of the space here. - Published: 2022-11-14 - Modified: 2025-05-28 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/case-studies/gerhardt-brackley/ - Categories: Case Studies, Commercial, Industrial, Office fit-out Scope Our client Gerhardt based in Brackley required a mezzanine floor and office fit-out. They required more space and an external extension was not a viable way to increase their space. Instead they decided to utilise the height of their warehouse and use a mezzanine floor. Mezzanines are a great way to utilise space in warehouses or buildings with higher ceilings. What We Did For the mezzanine floor, one of the main requirements during construction is to ensure the structure is fire rated. We added a 1 hour fire rated ceiling to the underside of the of the mezzanine, as well as a 1 hour fire rating to the walls on the mezzanine. Other works we carried out; Drylined external walls Added a grid suspended ceiling Electrics, lighting and air conditioning were installed Carpet tiles fitted Constructed a bespoke stationary cupboard Repainted the existing concrete floor in the warehouse The overall cost of this project was £68,000 and once again we were able to complete the project on-time and in-budget for our client.

A shaft wall is a specific type of partition wall where, during construction, access if only possible from one side. - Published: 2022-10-31 - Modified: 2025-05-28 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/blog/what-is-a-shaft-wall/ - Categories: Blog What is a shaft wall? Where is it used? And why? A shaft wall is a specific type of partition wall. During construction, access is only possible from one side. This makes the construction process very unique.   Shaft walls are a lightweight fire-resistant solution for protecting elements in spaces which may be confined and access restricted to one side. They are very strong structures and, if exposed to flames, are fire-resistant for up to four hours depending on the materials used. They are usually constructed using 70mm stud wall solutions and provide great acoustics depending on the insulation selected. Where are Shaft Walls Used? Due to the locations in which they are used, shaft walls are mainly required to be fire rated and to be extremely strong. The main use of a shaft wall is lift shafts – particularly in high-rise buildings. They are also used in stairwells or already installed corridors. Because shaft walls are constructed through accessing only one side, they can be, and often are, constructed and incorporated during the early stages of construction. No scaffolding is required making it convenient for various types of building. Shaft Walls from Tapper Interiors At Tapper Interiors we have years of experience in constructing shaft walls for lift system and other uses in various buildings. If you have a requirement for a shaft wall system or want to discuss your options or requirements please contact us. --- ### What is SFS in Construction > What is SFS in Construction?

What Was Required Omlet recently relocated to new office space. Their new office is beautiful and a much larger premises than their previous one. Having a big open space is great for business but there is a requirement for smaller breakout rooms. Omlet required eight rooms within their office space of various sizes. They wanted to keep the open feel to their office whilst ensuring everyone had their own space and the noise level was kept to a minimum. What We Did There are different options when it comes to partitioning a room. They could be full opaque wall, fully glass partitions or half and half – which is what Omlet selected. We provided glass screens with Crittall effect banding and coloured manifestation to the bottom panel. This allows for natural light to flow through the office, giving a natural and airy feel to the whole space whilst still achieving the separated offices required. The Crittall style uses steel framed windows to create multipaned partitions. It is becoming extremely popular in both offices and homes as it offers beautiful aesthetics whilst providing plenty of natural light along with supporting the interior design.

Scope of Works Dry lining MF ceilings Durlam metal plank ceilings Rockfon Pacific ceilings Critical Issues The two main features of this showroom are the curved and sloping wall and the bulkhead. Setting out of these walls and the Durlam ceilings had to be carried out by hand before the tiles were on site, due to the late decision on the choice of tiles and the long lead time involved. The tolerance of these tiles was ½ mm so setting out was critical. These tiles were not received on site until the dry lining had been finished. --- ### Top 100 Accountancy Firm > Tapper Interiors are the leading company from complete office refurbishments to Internal office partitions - Published: 2015-06-19 - Modified: 2023-08-04 - URL: https://tapperinteriors.co.uk/case-studies/top-100-accountancy-firm/ - Categories: Case Studies, Office fit-out Background Local accountants moving from their existing premises due to expansion and the desire to create a new modern working environment.

A large, open plan building rarely makes efficient use of the space available. Using interior partitions to divide space, the number of available working areas are increased and the resulting space better managed. As well as creating more useful space, partitions can be used to secure storage or create an attractive appearance, while providing screening, noise reduction and fire-and-impact resistance. Tapper Interiors can provide and install a wide range of partitions to suit your needs, from industrial factories, warehouses and commercial offices, to recreational, institutional and residential buildings. Styles range from cost-effective and fast-assembly options to meticulous high-quality and precision partitions; single, double or partly glazed, solid; relocatable or fixed locations; and cover a variety of acoustic and fire performance options.

When used for car showrooms, their purpose is mainly to show the cars to their best advantage – but also to make the customer feel they have entered a building of class and luxury, and of the future. Think about it – would you buy a car from a dimly-lit showroom? When lighting is such a key feature in a building, attention must be paid to every detail to ensure the simplicity and clean lines of the showroom are consistent; unwanted shadows and colour variations in walls and ceilings must be reduced or eradicated. Usually, lighting is designed to fit an existing building, but showrooms are designed differently. Architects plan out how a building will react to light, where to place artificial lighting and where to incorporate natural lighting. Audi at Tamworth is an example of a showroom that utilises a large amount of natural light. Light enters the building through floor to ceiling external glazing, flooding the showroom. This is achieved through a curved and sloping wall, which we needed to take into account when considering the critical issues while working on the installation. Graduated arcs and great care to finishing is required, as well as bending dry lining to fit the curved wall. In 2010 AIS recognised our quality work with the critical natural of light and presented us with an award.
