Modular In-Plant offices provides a long list of advantages over standard construction offices. These in-plant offices not only are easier to construct, they’re also very cost-effective. Here is a basic look at what makes up a standard in-plant office:
The Basics
1. 3070 20 Ga. Steel Door – 1-3/4″ thick, comes pre-hung in frame; optional glazing.
2. Cornice Mold – Sturdy aluminum construction, either anodized or painted; provides handsome finished appearance.

4. Corrugated Steel Dust Cover – 22 ga. ribbed steel is 1 1/2″ deep; painted and cut to length.

6. Acoustical Lay-in Ceiling – consists of prepainted metal grid and lay-in acoustical, noncombustible white fissured mineral board.
7. Exhaust Fan – powerful exhaust fan located in ceiling.
8. Air Conditioning Unit – wall-mounted units provide cool environment for any size office (available in several BTU capacities); optional heat available too.
9. Fire & Sound Panels
10. Hardboard w/ Honeycomb panel – includes 1/8″ vinyl hardboard laminated to both sides of kraft honeycomb core.
