# How to Replace an Inner Panel of a Room Divider
Room dividers come in a range of types, including ones that fold. Folding room dividers consist of several panels that when positioned, allow it to stand up on its own. Some folding types are lightweight, such as the Japanese shoji screen, with panels made from paper. If these fragile panels puncture, you can replace it with ease.
