What is the Installation Process for Modular Walls?

Modular wall systems are the obvious choice if you’re looking for a containment system offering unmatched flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability.

What isn’t so obvious is choosing how to deploy modular walls. Today, we’re answering the question, “What is the installation process for modular walls?” with a step-by-step breakdown from the TWS team.

Modular wall installation process

Your modular wall installation process will vary depending on many factors, including:

  • Size of your project
  • Location of your project
  • Brand of the modular wall system
  • Panel configuration
  • Number of people assisting

If you’re determined to do it yourself, you should receive a manufacturer-specific modular wall system installation guide with your product. Or, you can skip several steps and let professionals handle it.

Steps to install modular walls with TWS

Purchasing and installing modular walls yourself can be a long, involved process. You have to figure out an accurate materials list, make the purchase, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter. All while aiming for the exact dimensions you need.

Along the way, you’ll need power tools and a fair bit of skill to modify and connect your walls. You’ll also have to dismantle and store them when not in use.

TWS streamlines this process. Here are the exact steps to install modular walls with us:

1. Contact us for a free estimate and project scoping

Contact us to discuss your project. We’ll generate an estimate based on your timeline, project details, and the amount of requisite inventory. In some instances, we’ll conduct a site visit to troubleshoot complex issues.

2. Modular wall delivery

Once you sign off, we’ll deliver the modular wall system to the site at an agreed-upon time. TWS is known for efficiency, so feel free to contact us on short notice.

Our delivery vans are also stocked with extra accessories in case of unforeseen challenges with the next step.

3. Installation

TWS professionals will complete the installation for you upon delivery. It typically takes two or three team members to set up and secure your modular walls.

Our goal with installation focuses on efficiency and mitigating disruption to surrounding activity. We can even schedule your installation outside of business hours.

4. Inspection

Our team will perform an inspection of the system directly after installation. If your application requires air pressure control or sound dampening, we’ll perform tests to ensure your expectations are met.

5. Schedule your removal

TWS handles projects of all sizes, including those that take a few weeks or a few years. Schedule removal, and we’ll dismantle and remove the walls from the site, taking care to leave no debris behind.

And that’s it. You save time by delegating containment to us as well as saving money on labor and storage.

How long does it take to install modular walls?

Installation time depends on the dimensions of your containment and prior experience with modular walls. If you’re building a larger containment area for the first time, it can take a few days to get it done right. It can take even longer if there’s finishing to do, such as painting.

Our technicians can complete a basic configuration in an hour or two. Larger or more complex configurations can take up to four hours.
