Decato

According to Preform Manufacturing, Decato is the most environmentally sensitive interior partition product available on the market. Over 80% of the product is from recycled, bio-based, or sustainable materials, and is virtually 100% recyclable. Core materials are totally non-toxic. Furniture component parts are available from Environmentally Friendly Industries, featuring 100% recycled content core materials and finished with biodegradable low VOC finishes.

Moreover, the panels are available in any height or width, and the system is designed to accommodate almost any other manufacturer's components, including cantilever brackets, worksurfaces, shelves, upper cabinets, and paper organization systems. The system is engineered such that panels can be added or de-mounted in two minutes or less without electrical or communication interruptions.

With regard to materials, Decato achieves a high tech appearance with a variety of panel materials and textures. The system makes a broad statement with its generous use of aluminum. Panel types include Acoustic, Non-Acoustic, Plexiglas, Graphic Plexiglas, Perforated Metal or Wood, and Ribbed Aluminum. Doors include Sliding Glass, Conventional Glass or Solid Core Doors - all with locksets. Privacy elements do not have to be panels - they can be Canvas Sails, or Silk Screened Images.
