(54) Partition system


(57) The present disclosure describes a constructive solution for non-structural partition walls, tensioned between the elements of floor and ceiling. This solution comprises a structure in tensioned straps that supports the assembly by means of attachment of panels with a core in fibrous material and covering plates on both sides. The core will consist of modules that can be subtracted or added, allowing the incorporation of installations without damaging the panel, which may include a grid, which at the same time serves to reinforce and give rigidity to the panel.
The system exhibits a support structure in tensioned straps; a panel comprised of a core and covering plates on the outer faces. The core features vertical and horizontal grooves in its interior, allowing for the incorporation of networks of water, gas and electricity supply without the need of opening grooves in the site; and preferably includes a fibrous/porous material in order to work simultaneously as thermal and acoustic insulation of the installations.
