Cubical Panels
These are thicker panels which can not stand by themselves. These are 2 to 3 inches
thick. There are many sizes and styles of cubicles and there panels. Call us for a
consultant to help you. Because cubicles are modeler there are many configurations you
can make them. They also have additional amenities such power race ways. This means
you can plug in and attach you phone lines in then as well. There is some additional
costs such as hiring an electrician to run wire and connecting the power. Also your phone
people will have to run there wires in the bottom of the race way. But if you want to
maximize the space may be your best option. Its still cheaper then hiring architects and
getting building permits.
