How to Make a Partition Wall Made of Plasterboard

Partition walls can transform a large space into smaller, individual rooms. This is helpful when you need to divide an area for meeting, events or to create smaller work spaces. Although you can buy partition walls from an office supply store, you can save money by making a wall partition yourself using a few basic hardware supplies and tools, such as plasterboard. Using plasterboard also allows you to paint the partition wall more readily than other types of material.
