Screens on wheels: types and selection
For some apartments, a mobile screen is the best option to designate zones for different purposes, to allocate your own corner for work, play or rest. The screen, put on wheels, becomes even more mobile and allows you to change places of privacy if necessary.
Peculiarities
In a situation where housing needs zoning, but cannot afford blind partitions, a mobile screen becomes the best option. It is lightweight, portable, often has a folding function; if not needed, it can be rolled up and placed in a far corner.
The screen differs from other partitions in that it is not fixed permanently.
Many consider the screen to be an object created for miniature one-room apartments, and they are very mistaken. Delimiting a space that is too small will make it even smaller. And here large rooms with uncomfortably empty corners, a partition will add comfort and charm... For non-standard elongated rooms, it can become a corrective element that corrects their geometry.
They try to make modern screens beautiful, spectacular, stylized for different design directions. Such a product becomes not just a temporary wall, but a real decoration of the home.
The variety of partitions is achieved using many shapes and textures. The screen can be made from any material: fabric, wood, bamboo, glass or mirrors. Often, the structure is installed on rollers for greater mobility. The size of the wheels depends on the weight of the material, and their number depends on the size of the structure. A large pitch between the rollers can lead to sagging.
Functional
Most often, the screen looks like a frame covered with fabric and interconnected. But not all designs are so simple. For small apartments where there is not enough storage space, partitions with a functional load are very important. For example, a screen decorated with photo frames can contain an entire family archive of photographs. And the partition with hooks, pockets and shelves is convenient and useful, as it allows you to store various little things. Using examples, we will show what other functions can be performed by partitions.

Winged
Many consider accordion-shaped partitions to be the most optimal. If you need more space, they can be easily folded and removed. The screen can be two-section, three-section and multi-section. The leaves are installed as many as necessary for a particular situation. Any kind of material is fixed on the frame, the sections are fastened together with furniture hinges. The finished structure is installed on rollers.

One-section
The one-screen model is a one-piece canvas on a frame. To install the structure, the dimensions and location are determined in advance. The finished product can no longer be reduced by the sashes and moved to another place, since it must correspond to the size of the screen.
As an example, there are photographs of one-section office partitions. They have double pairs of rollers to provide reliable stability.
Flexible
The flexible screen is made of modern materials that allow it to maintain an upright position without any frame. It is stored as a roll. To install it, it is enough to unfold and set the required shape for the partition.
Selection Tips
First of all, you need to know where you plan to install the partition. If this is an office space, you should choose a solid and as simple structure as possible, without unnecessary decor that will distract from the work process.
A screen for a living space should be made of environmentally friendly material and correspond to the design of the room. For a room where small children live, a light partition can be dangerous: as soon as the baby leans on, he will fall with it.
With regard to adjusting the space, you should pay attention to the height of the ceiling. The vertical orientation of the partition will visually lift it, and the horizontal orientation will "push apart" the surrounding walls. For small rooms, openwork, glass, mirror options are suitable, allowing air and light to pass through, expanding the space.
When choosing a screen, attention is paid not only to the materials, but also to the quality of the fastening, as well as the size of the rollers. All the assembled components must provide the screen with good stability and reliability.
