Plasterboard & Glazed Wall Interfaces

V-Cut provides an economic method of creating a flush and seamless interface between drywall and glass partitions without resorting to extruded or moulded profiles. The design offers limitless variations.

Most modern open floor commercial office areas include some sort of cellular division for meeting rooms or managers’ offices. It’s not uncommon that the internal walls for these offices are solid drywall construction and the fronts demountable glass partitions. That introduces an interface detail that is often resolved by using moulded GRG or plaster pilasters.

Architectural mouldings obviously have the benefit that features can be introduced into the mould surface but office pilasters or abutments invariably have simple plain surfaces. GRG, or moulded gypsum with fibre reinforcement, provides a strong solution and has excellent strength to weight ratios but plasterboard also now comes with special additives that can provide high impact strength without a weakness to chip at the corners. With such a V-Cut profile, there’s uniformity in materials between the pilaster and the abutting plasterboard wall so there are no issues with finish or colour differences.

Vee cutting boards to create these drywall abutments opens endless possibilities in terms of partition abutment design. A recessed skirting can be built into the profile and the whole abutment can be supplied completely pre-assembled for quick installation on site. In addition the lead in time is faster than its alternatives. V Cut profiles – simpler, cheaper and better.
