Versare is a firm believer that all schools and educational institutions should be safe learning centers for all children and young adults that represent our nation’s future. All parents, educators and administrators should feel confident knowing their children and students are safe while at school and will return home at the end of the day. Unfortunately today, the potential threat of gun violence has invaded even these “safe spaces”. The sense of security and safety is no longer the standard in today’s reality. It is for all these reasons that we believe that a defensive solution is required within our educational system.Versare has decided to address this potential threat of gun violence and active shooters launching a new line of products that will provide a ballistic shield integrating our innovative designs with state of the art ballistic protection materials. This new line of products is designated as Versare Portable Shield Partition. The ARMAT ballistic material that we have integrated into our partitions have been tested and certified under the National Institute of Justice Standard NIJ0108.01 by independent Ballistic Laboratories. Our initial product is rated at the IIIA level under this standard. This designation indicates that our solution can withstand multiple impacts by .44 magnum and 9mm ammunition.The Versare Portable Shield Partition is available in 24 colors and is designed to resemble portable room dividers already found in classrooms. This bullet resistant partition can be easily stored with a collapsed width of 33” and just as easily setup to its max width of 19’ 9” in just seconds providing an instant protective shield with minimum deployment time. We look forward to initiating this venture to keep our future generation safe. We are now accepting pre-orders online at versare.com and over the phone at (888) 482-5852 for shipment and delivery beginning September.

Home Partition — Clear Polycarbonate StraightWall If you work from home, you understand the importance of setting up the ideal work environment. Home can bring comforts that an office wouldn’t, but it can also bring with it many distractions. Versare offers a multitude of portable office partitions to create the perfect home office setup. For example, one of our customers had just closed on the urban loft of their dreams. As an independent contractor, they loved the freedom of working at home, and their previous home had a separate office perfect for it. But the new loft had completely open floorplan with no designated area for an office. To compound the dilemma, the loft only had two large windows that were in the living room area, giving a great view of the city but making lighting a big consideration in setting up an office.Our client chose a small space in the loft, opposite the living room, that was perfect for a home office. But building a wall there would close off the area, blocking it from natural light and ruining the large, open feel of the loft. While building a clear wall would allow the flow of light, it would still make the loft feel smaller. But with a little creative planning and design work—plus the reliable Straightwall Wall-Mounted Sliding Partition in clear polycarbonate—a little corner of our client’s loft became the perfect home office. This version of the sliding straightwall featuring a lightweight, waterproof, shock resistant and translucent polycarbonate core with a durable aluminum frame. Each Polycarbonate plastic panel features a lightweight but durable construction. Sliding telescoping hinges create a smooth, straight line. Because of the translucence of the polycarbonate Straightwall, light could properly flow through the loft without sacrificing privacy. Our customer had now created the perfect home office, a secluded place to work that was professional enough not to feel like the working at home.

California Closets — Cubicle Hush Panels Here at Versare, we take pride in our customer service as much as we do our superb portable partitions and room dividers. So, we jumped at the opportunity to help California Closets, another company known for fine products and equally fine customer service, fulfill their dream for a newly organized office.Located in Richmond, California, California Closets started building custom closets over three decades ago, and it was Versare’s turn to provide them with a custom experience to perfectly suit their office needs. Kerri Nahas, Client Liaison for California Closets, was tasked with finding some custom work stations and cubicles for her office. She looked at several office partition vendors before contacting Versare with her specific design idea for the office.Nahas chose the Hush Panel Configurable Cubicle Partition because it’s a fully customizable office partition system that can be added to and changed as a company grows and its needs change. We offer 22 colors of acoustical fabric (which gives our soundproof Hush Panels their name) and multiple panel sizes to choose. And don’t forget our optional polycarbonate windows. Add in the fact that our Hush Panels are completely tool-less and it’s easy to create the perfect office!Because Nahas is an integral part of a custom organization and storage company, she understands the value of an office system built for tailoring to specific needs and flexible enough for further customization. She was also impressed with how simple it was to construct the Hush Panels and knew they were the perfect addition to the California Closets home office.

The MP10 Canvas Portable Partition Are you looking to save money on a portable partition without sacrificing quality or style? Versare’s MP10 Accordion Room Divider is a canvas version of our Room Divider 360 that proves “cheap” doesn’t have to mean “poorly made.” That’s why we prefer calling our cheap room dividers “economical.” While the MP10 won’t absorb sound like the premium Room Divider 360, it can still provide privacy, divide space, and be easily shaped into multiple configurations—like an “L” or a “C”—thanks to our patented 360° rotating hinges, which provide a full range of movement per panel. Also like its more expensive counterpart, the MP10 is available in two lengths—6’ or 10’—and heights of 4’, 6’, or 6’10”.Constructed of 16-gauge round steel tubing connected by rounded plastic corner joints for increased safety and sturdiness, the frame is lightweight but sturdy, making the MP10 highly portable. To add to the stability, each divider features Versare’s patented full-sized end panels, which feature Velcro fasteners for easily attaching units to each other. Folding down to less than 4 square feet of floor space, this room divider is also easy to store when not in use. The MP10 is also extremely simple to build, with only a few tools required.While the color range is small—with a choice between beige, blue, red, and black—it’s still a great fit for multiple settings. Brighter colors will fit perfectly in settings with children, while the more muted colors are great for auditoriums, offices, and museums. Whether you need a portable nursing station, daycare wall, maze, craft fair booth, temporary cubicle, or gallery wall, the MP10 is a perfect fit. It’s sturdy enough to hang artwork, signs, jewelry, or calendars. If you’re an office manager, pastor, teacher, rabbi, librarian, or parent on a budget, you’ll find a use for this versatile budget room divider. • View Canvas Color Options • View MP10 assembly instructions

Sky Zone Trampoline Park — The Room Divider 360 People who run amusement parks know how important it is to make the space simultaneously safe and interesting to look at. Here at Versare, our salespeople are experts at choosing products that combine every element required to meet our customers’ needs. They are well-versed at focusing on both safety and style, outfitting daycares, dance schools, play centers, and other fun places with the perfect room dividers, barricades, and partitions.Sky Zone Trampoline Park is a chain of trampoline parks with locations across the United States. The manager of the Springfield branch came to us because they needed dividers to replace the barricades that were blocking off an event space. The barricades kept the areas divided, but they needed portable walls that would block private parties from the view of customers in other parts of the park. They wanted a cost-effective privacy panel that would divide the space when needed but could easily fold away for storage when not in use.Ultimately, Sky Zone chose our number one seller, the Room Divider 360 in Navy, in size 6’ x 25”. The Room Divider 360 is a sound-absorbent partition that is lightweight, making it highly portable and easy to put into different configurations or stored when not needed. Because it provides a level of privacy not available with barricades—and it’s more aesthetically pleasing—the Room Divider 360 also adds a much more professional look to the park. Derek Shortway, General Manager of Sky Zone in Mount Olive, NJ, ordered a Room Divider 360 for his location after the owner of several locations saw the unit at the Springfield location and loved it. “Our owner saw the divider at Sky Zone Springfield and directed all other locations under their ownership to purchase one as well (Springfield, Mount Olive, Pine Brook and Allendale),” Shortway said. “We currently divide party areas with orange steel barriers but we feel the room divider 360 will give a much more welcoming look.”

D2M Dance Academy — Room Divider 360 Versare is no stranger to outfitting dance academies with portable partitions to enhance their spaces, and recently we had a chance to outfit an academy with partitions for their competitions. In dance competitions, the first impression is key. And as the saying goes, the problem with first impressions is that you only get one. Dance competition judges can be especially difficult to impress. Another tough aspect of dance competitions is the aspect of traveling and competing at multiple locations. Because a permanent stage arrangement isn’t possible, a mobile yet eye-catching setup is optimal for making that great first impression.D2M Dance Academy is a dance studio in Tracy, California, that teaches classes for infants through high schoolers and produces highly successful students. Their classes include both recreational and competitive curriculums, and their troupes perform in competitions at the local, state, and national levels.The academy needed stage backgrounds that would provide portability but would also blow away the competition. We helped them choose the Room Divider 360, our most popular partition. The Room Divider 360’s patented 360-degree hinges make it easy to fold and transport, and its aluminum frame makes it lightweight but sturdy enough to serve as a performance backdrop. D2M chose the black acoustical fabric with personalized decorations, which would be perfect to grab judge’s attention while simultaneously showcasing the talents of the dancers.As you can see in the photographs provided, D2M transformed the Room Divider 360 for a magical Transformers-themed routine. They incorporated elaborate costumes and purple lighting into their routine, making it incredibly eye-catching. With the help of Versare, the already inventive and talented teachers took their level of competition up a notch, making that crucial positive first impression that can make or break a dance team’s chances.(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.12'; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
