Compare the options
Record three readings and photos
Measure across the opening at bottom, middle and top. Check heights at both ends and the centre. Include doors, skirting, services and furniture in your photos, and label readings with units.
A 3 m wall for comparing quotes
At 2.6 m high, a 3 m run equals 7.8 m² of gross face area, about 84 sq ft. Keep any doorway separate and ask whether the price uses gross area, net area or an itemised layout. Compare quotes on the same basis.
Quote checklist
- Property type, location, preferred completion date and any building access rules.
- A measured sketch with photos of the opening, floor, ceiling and both sides.
- Finish, door style, privacy requirements and items to include in the quote.
Common questions
What can I do before the installer visits?
Sketch the proposed line, measure width and height at several points and photograph existing finishes, fixtures and access. Share notes on the intended use and let the installer verify how the wall or track can be supported.
