THE BENEFITS OF DEMOUNTABLE WALLS

There are a myriad of benefits that are provided by demountable partitions. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find these same advantages in many conventional construction designs. Some of the conveniences for demountable partitions include:

  • Versatility: Demountable walls offer an almost effortless installation process. Moreover, it’s also easy to reconfigure the arrangement, if need be, as your business grows and evolves over time.
  • Affordable Upkeep Costs: The panels can be easily cleaned and regular sanitization is simple and undemanding.
  • Pristine Appearance: Your demountable partition system will never require painting. Additionally, it also offers a finished surfacing on either side of every panel, with no fasteners exposed to obstruct its pristine appearance.
  • Durable: The material used to produce demountable walls is rodent-proof, insect-proof, and won’t wane or corrode from the exposure to UV rays. In addition, it’s also a good option for high humidity, rust, salt, and corrosion applications.
  • Effortless Installation: Makes for an easy installation process without the inconveniences produced by conventional construction approaches like drywall smut or the potent stench of paint. This enables the office space to remain functional during the installation of process.

Advantages of Movable/Demountable Wall-Tek vs. Drywall

Tax Saving

  • Movable: Check with your accountant as tax savings can be obtained due to movable walls being classed under the furniture category as they are not permanently attached to building.
  • Drywall: Can be taxed under a different category as it is classed as permanent walls and may be depreciated over a longer length of time.

What is considered a fixture in accounting?

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment (or FF&E) is an accounting term used in valuing, selling, or
liquidating a company or a building. FF&E are movable furniture, fixtures, or other equipment
that have no permanent connection to the structure of a building or utilities.

Class 8 (20%)

Class 8 with a CCA rate of 20% includes certain property that is not included in another class.
Examples are furniture, appliances, and tools costing $500 or more per tool, some fixtures,
machinery, outdoor advertising signs, refrigeration equipment, and other equipment you use in
the business.

  • Photocopiers and electronic communications equipment, such as fax machines and
    electronic telephone equipment are also included in Class 8.

If this equipment costs $1,000 or more, you can elect to have it included in a separate class. The
CCA rate will not change but a separate CCA deduction can now be calculated for a five-year
period. When all the property in the class is disposed of, the UCC is fully deductible as a
terminal loss. Any undepreciated capital cost (UCC) balance remaining in the separate class at
the end of the fifth year must be transferred back to the general class in which it would
otherwise belong. To make an election, attach a letter to your income tax return for the tax
year in which you acquired the property.

Flexible

  • Movable: Easily changed to meet requirements of changing environments.
  • Drywall: Fixed – cannot relocate.

Time Saving

  • Movable: The time from start to finish is considerably faster.
  • Drywall: Loss of time is enormous due to taping, mudding, sanding, painting.

Relocatable

  • Movable: Changes made extremely easy, panels relocated with no mess or carpet repair. Depending on layout, 75% to 100% of the product is reused.
  • Drywall: Changes require demolition and disposal of product at a landfill. Carpeted areas need replacing

Down Time

  • Movable: Results in a reduced loss of productivity.
  • Drywall: More down time and loss of productivity.

Construction

  • Movable: 1 trade for the install – results in better project management.
  • Drywall: Several trades – steel stud, drywall install, taping and mudding, painting, trims – baseboard, door frame and door install.

Longevity

  • Movable: The longevity of movable partitions can be up to 20 years or more with very little maintenance.
  • Drywall: Drywall needs to be re-painted or re-coated approximately every 5 years.

Mobility

  • Movable: The wall systems can be moved from building to building, thus keeping the capital asset in your possession.
  • Drywall: No movement – landfill.

THE APPLICATION OF DEMOUNTABLE WALLS

Demountable walls are utilized in many different applications. However, they are most commonly used in commercial settings such as hospitals, medical centres, offices, etc. But they can also be used in almost any facility or space where a demand for a versatile dividing solution is needed. Additionally, demountable partitions systems may be constructed differently based on the application for which they are designed.

For example, office partitions use materials that improve the aesthetics of the workroom. Whereas partitions produced for the demands of more rigorous enviroments (factory floors, industrial facilities, etc), are manufactured for functionality rather than visual appeal.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE DEMOUNTABLE WALLS

With a few of the advantages of demountable walls now firmly planted in your mind, it’s helpful to understand why you – as a business owner – should choose these partitions for your office space. Here are a few reasons why you should choose demountable walls for your business:

  • Locally Sourced Materials: Most business owners are aware of how localizing the supply chain can help the environment. When a reduction in shipping and storage occurs, by default, a reduction in both emissions and energy use simultaneously takes place as well. At Alberta Office Furniture, our demountable partitions are made from locally sourced materials that help the environment and build consumer confidence.
  • Can Be Leased or Financed: Not too sure about demountable walls quite yet? Hard-pressed financially? No worries. Demountable walls can be leased or financed. No commitments are necessary. Also, no permits are required for their installation either, which further makes these partitions a valuable and convenient option.
  • More Affordable Than Larger Brands for a Similar Product: At Alberta Office Furniture, our demountable walls are a much more cost-effective alternative to similar products being offered by larger brand names. You get the value without the hefty price tag.
  • Can Be Retained as an Asset: Demountable partitions are assets. Compare this to the typical construction wall consisting of drywall, which holds relatively little monetary value once it has been installed.
  • Can Be Sold to a New Tenant: Because demountable walls can be retained as an asset, you can sell them to new tenants who may need them for their workspace. A great way to bolster profitability while also providing a valuable product to your occupants.
