Previously I wrote about the benefits of using movable walls instead of drywall when moving into a new office facility. The misconception that green building practices cost more than conventional building ways has been disproved. Green building practices can save you money up front, and will continue to repay you throughout the life of the product.
When it comes time to reconfigure your interior walls to accommodate for a change in staff or just to give yourself a bigger office, movable walls really begin to shine in terms of cost saving and ease of move. In a recent study based on a 15,000 sq. foot office space it cost 94% less to reconfigure the movable walls than it did to demolish and rebuild the drywall. Not to mention the disturbance to your staff caused by demolishing the drywall only to rebuild it within the same area. Movable walls can be reconfigured after business hours with little to no disruption of work flow and in half the time it would take to rebuild with drywall.
Whether you are looking to save money, have greater design options, or looking to help reduce your impact on the environment; movable walls are a great solution to your interior wall needs. Employee efficiency and productivity can be increased based on the environment they are provided, and a dusty dingy drywall office is not a way to improve your environment. Whether you call them demountable walls, glass walls, modular walls, partition walls, or just walls; Environmental Wall Systems movable walls can help you improve your triple bottom line of People, Planet, and Profit.

At a time when interior walls are closely monitored when considering building costs, movable walls can actually benefit you now, and in the years to come. There’s a misconception that green building tactics cost more than conventional ways and won’t reflect an ROI that pays you back in a few years. This is wrong.
Through the American Recovery & Re-investment Act (ARRA) some movable walls purchased in 2009 can qualify for up to 50% depreciation in the first tax year. That’s in addition to one of the biggest benefits in using movable walls instead of drywall, which is that they are classified as furniture so:
- Movable walls depreciate over 7 years vs. drywall depreciating over 39 years, (i.e. that’s more cash in your pocket each year to spend on other costs).
- Environmental Wall Systems movable walls are 100% reusable offering a truly sustainable product to help with future reconfigurations in terms of cost and waste
- Movable walls are cleaner than drywall providing better Indoor Air Quality for your workers, increasing worker efficiency
- Also more aesthetically pleasing and help with day lighting your space,both increasing worker efficiency
- EWS walls are completely unitized, manufactured to your request eliminating the need for multiple vendors and multiple purchase orders.

Environmental Wall Systems builds high quality sustainable green walls that offer an environmentally and affordable alternative to standard drywall construction. Environmental Wall Systems (EWS) has been building green movable walls for more than ten years. EWS started as a wall installation company installing every movable wall system on the market. After learning a variety of office wall solutions, we developed our own wall system, IrisWall.
15 years later EWS movable wall systems have serviced clients in every sector of the movable office wall market from government offices to small businesses. They have also found success delivering walls to many corporations as well as clients in the education sector.
While many movable office wall providers have adopted a green story for their wall systems, EWS can competently say that their walls are 100% reusable; that’s pretty darn sustainable. Not to mention the walls are comprised of 80% post-consumer recycled aluminum, 95% recycled gypsum, and the IrisFiber insulation used in the wall panels is so clean is doesn’t need a health warning label like traditional rotary-spun fiberglass insulation found in most walls. On top of all of that EWS manufactures their wall systems in the USA and sources all of their wall materials from local distributors. All in all EWS movable walls can help your green building project qualify for up to 15 LEED credits.
Stay tuned as EWS integrates more green ideas into their wall products with corn-based materials and the introduction of a new bio-wall; a wall that is actually alive!? Until then, take care and live green.
