What is a pressurized wall?
A pressurized wall is a wall that looks and functions the same way as a standard wall, but is installed with precision sizing and pressure instead of screws. Pressurized walls work well when a building’s codes don’t allow damage to the existing structure, since they can be removed at any point without leaving marks behind. A pressurized wall also works as a temporary divider for a showroom or exhibit space.
Does my building allow pressurized walls?
New York City has no single building-code rule for pressurized walls, so it depends on your building. If you’re not sure whether yours allows one, call us and we’ll help you check. If your building doesn’t allow a floor-to-ceiling install, we offer freestanding walls and bookcase walls, which meet stricter codes while still giving you a real divided space.
What happens to the wall if I move or no longer need it?
We’ll remove your temporary wall whenever you’re ready. Removal is quoted at the site measure, since the cost depends on the wall’s size and configuration. Your space is restored to its original dimensions, with no marks or damage from the wall.
How much notice do I need to give to remove the wall?
We require 30 days’ notice to remove your pressurized wall, and we only remove walls on a Monday. Removal is quoted at the site measure. If your 30-day period ends on any day but a Monday, we reserve the right to remove the wall up to and including the next available Monday. For best availability, reach out to our staff to schedule your removal date as early as possible.
