These screens are available in a two foot size for use on top of desks or larger sizes up to six feet or taller for rooms and offices. There are even dividers that reach to the ceiling.

Schools have sectioned off classrooms to teach children. These decorative and functional screens are also becoming quite popular for use in the home.

Divide a large room such as the bedroom, living room, or dining room so one side can be used as an effective home office. Even dividing one bedroom to make it into two living quarters for visiting guests is a very practical use.
