Space-R™

Having a space to work (together) and hold meetings is crucial for employees' well-being, health and productivity. But difficult building knots and the various interveners in projects often cause a lot of problems and frustrations. It takes a lot of time, energy and money to (re)install walls. With Space-R, those problems are a thing of the past. The plug-and-play wall profiles are easy to place and move, without damaging the ceiling or floor. And without compromising on design, because you can mix and match different materials. Space-R is also a top solution in terms of acoustics.
