Marley Eternit offers Partitions For Schools guide

Marley Eternit has launched 'Partition Solutions for Schools', a comprehensive guide illustrating the benefits of Hydropanel high performance cement partition board.

The guide details all criteria for partition requirements found in schools, colleges and universities.

It offers a series of standardised specifications that allow designers on schools projects to comply with Approved Document B (Fire Safety Vol 2), Approved Document E (Resistance to the Passage of Sound) and Approved Document G (Hygiene).

At the same time it offers design examples to meet partition type A-E as laid out in the Partitions in schools 'Standard specifications, layouts and dimensions' guidance document.

The guide will be invaluable to all parties looking to comply with standards of performance necessary for internal partitions in the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme and National Framework for Academies Hydropanel.

These benefits provide a suitable partitioning solution for demanding environments such as those found in educational establishments.
