Webb vs Plumbing Supply and More for Massive Inventory**Jul 31, 2026](https://thewallpeople.com/f-w-webb-vs-plumbing-supply-and-more-for-massive-inventory/) Temporary separation walls for apartments, loft space and business in the New York Area, known to many satisfied customers simply as “THE WALL”. [Read more about the company »](https://thewallpeople.com/aboutus.html) ## A room divider system built for New York apartments The company started in 1995 with an idea to design a room divider system that would lessen the heavy cost of New York City apartment living. This temporary wall system would allow roommates to share an apartment and each have their own room. Today the pressure walls still do that and so much more. A shared apartment can be quickly and efficiently transformed to provide privacy between friends and a much needed retreat after a fast paced city day. Comfort is indulged further with extra features such as sound insulation, many different window styles, air circulation fans and beautifully styled doors. Ceiling heights of up to thirteen feet can be accommodated, as well as almost any configuration desired, and all of it without any damage to surrounding property. Except for the new room, you wouldn’t even know we were there. Whatever the idea for extra space may be — a nursery, a computer room, a den, a dining room, or additional office space and a reception area for a growing business — The New York Wall Company makes that idea a reality. ## What a pressurized partition does for a space 01 ### Why Choose Wall Partitions General construction is costly and messy. It takes a lot of time and causes damage. The New York Wall Co. does not screw, nail or glue anything into the walls, ceiling or floor of your home or apartment. Seams and edges are covered with battens and moldings instead, which makes removal quick, clean and easy.

[See the configurations »](https://thewallpeople.com/gallery.html) 03 ### The Perfect Solution For Offices A row of offices can be built for less than the cost of general construction, cleanly and competently, and the partitions are removed at no charge. Space can be reconfigured as a business grows or rearranged for more efficiency as needs change.
