01
Freestanding visual screens
Furniture screens for zoning seating groups or visitor areas. Define height, width, base footprint and whether repositioning is required; review stability and cleaning access for the chosen construction.

Hospital Privacy Screens & Public-Area Furniture in Dubai
Project-specified privacy screens, reception returns, public-area tables and storage for hospitals and clinics, coordinated with layouts, finishes and access.
Privacy elements and public-area furniture help organise reception, waiting and shared spaces. BSA develops the furniture scope from the approved layout: freestanding screens, furniture-integrated returns, visitor tables and coordinated storage can be reviewed as part of the reception and waiting package.
Define what each element needs to do. A visual divider, a reception return and a public-area storage unit have different requirements for height, stability, fixing and access. Keep those requirements in the furniture schedule so materials and construction can be quoted against the intended location.
Configurations
Choose the arrangement for your project
02
Reception privacy returns
Returns or side panels integrated with the reception counter. Coordinate visitor sightlines, staff equipment, service access and connection details with the approved counter drawings.
03
Public-area tables & ledges
Side tables, visitor writing ledges and shared surfaces placed with the waiting furniture. Specify heights, edges, supports and finishes while keeping the approved circulation routes clear.
04
Coordinated public-area storage
Cabinets, shelving and reception-adjacent storage defined by the room schedule. State whether access is public or staff-only, and record locks, compartments and fixing requirements.
Layout & furniture schedule
Build the package around the room
Reception privacy arrangement
Coordinate counter returns and freestanding panels with monitor orientation and visitor approach. Review sightlines from the actual positions shown on the plan.
- Dimension panel heights and support footprints
- Show attachments and any floor fixing
- Keep staff entry and service access clear
Shared waiting & visitor zone
Combine opaque furniture screens, writing surfaces and storage to organise the public area. Choose each piece against the layout instead of treating a screen as a complete room divider.
- Plot panels, tables and door swings together
- Check clear movement routes with the project team
- Separate furniture screening from acoustic requirements
Reference build for development
Freestanding public-area screen
Proposed dimensions and materials for development, not final production specifications. Manufacturing requires fabricator review, approved drawings and samples. Access requirements are reviewed for the project.
- Starting dimensions
- One module W 900 × H 1550 mm with an indicative D 500 mm support footprint. Check the complete footprint and sightline in the room layout.
- Construction direction
- A 12 mm compact-laminate panel is a starting proposal within a mechanically connected aluminium perimeter frame. Select the final panel and frame sections with the fabricator.
- Support & finish
- Two steel T-feet with floor-protection glides and a powder-coated finish. Base size, connections and stability need review for the chosen panel weight and intended use.
- Before production
- Approve a prototype, stability, floor contact, exposed edges and cleaning access. This is a visual zoning concept; any acoustic target requires separate assembly-specific evidence.
Specifications
Details to approve before production
- Purpose & location
- Identify each element on the floor plan and state its purpose: visual zoning, reception screening, visitor use or storage. Define the direction and height of the sightline to be addressed.
- Dimensions & clearances
- Set screen heights, widths, base depth and table or cabinet dimensions. Coordinate door swings, circulation routes, accessible spaces and cleaning access with the project team.
- Stability & fixing
- Confirm freestanding, furniture-mounted or fixed construction. Review base design, supports, mounting surfaces and any fixing requirements before fabrication.
- Surfaces & edges
- Select surface finishes and edge details using current supplier information. Review joints, exposed hardware and the facility’s cleaning products for the exact construction.
- Storage & equipment access
- Define shelf and compartment sizes, locks and permitted users. Maintain access to equipment and service panels where a privacy return connects to a reception counter.
- Site coordination
- Agree which elements are loose furniture and which need installation. Coordinate furniture with the project’s building, access and privacy requirements, and confirm installation responsibility.
Design & construction details
Distinguish visual privacy from acoustic performance
A screen can interrupt a sightline without isolating speech. If acoustic performance is required, define the target and request evidence for the proposed assembly. No acoustic rating, confidentiality outcome or healthcare certification is implied by the reference concept.
Coordinate zoning with movement
Review screens and tables in the complete plan, including door openings, queue direction and visitor circulation. A furniture divider should be dimensioned with its base and supports, not only its visible panel, so the layout reflects its actual footprint.
Define the furniture and building interfaces
Counter returns and fixed storage need connection details and access to adjoining services. Record who measures the site, who prepares mounting surfaces and who installs each element. This scope covers furniture and public-area zoning; clinical bed screens, treatment-room systems and building partitions require a separate brief.
Material references Acrylic solid-surface material reference
Handover & maintenance
Specify replacement parts and maintenance before production
Feet, brackets & fixing checks
Record the support and bracket details for each panel. Request the manufacturer’s inspection guidance and agree who checks and maintains any site fixings.
Panel replacement
Identify panel dimensions, edge finish and attachment positions. Keep the approved sample and component reference for replacement ordering.
Cleaning & relocation
Confirm cleaning instructions for the panel, frame and junctions. For movable screens, agree the handling method and route; do not assume a freestanding panel is designed to be rolled.

Frequently asked questions
Can privacy screens be supplied with waiting-room furniture?
Furniture screens can be reviewed alongside seating, tables and reception furniture. The dimensions, location, stability, finish and fixing requirements are defined for the project before quotation.
Do furniture privacy screens provide sound isolation?
Visual screening does not establish sound isolation. Any required acoustic performance needs a defined specification and supporting evidence for the selected assembly.
Can screens and storage be fixed to reception furniture?
Integrated returns and adjoining storage can be developed from the approved furniture drawings. Connection details, equipment access, mounting conditions and installation responsibility must be agreed before production.
Does this range include clinical bed screens and medical equipment?
This range covers non-medical reception, waiting and public-area furniture. Clinical bed screens, treatment equipment and building partition systems need a separate specialist brief.
