How to Choose the Right Partition Size for Your Vehicle
When it comes to selecting the right partition for your vehicle, the process is simpler than many customers expect. Our partitions are designed to be highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of vehicle layouts. The key is understanding a few core factors that will guide you toward the best fit for your needs.
1. Measure Your Available Vehicle Width
The first step in choosing a partition is determining how much width you have available inside your vehicle. This measurement sets the maximum size of the partition you can install. While this gives you an upper limit, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to fill the entire space.
For example, your vehicle may offer 50 inches of available width—but that doesn’t mean a 50-inch partition is required.
2. Decide How Wide You Want the Opening
Next, consider how wide you want the visible opening to be. Many customers prefer to minimize the opening for privacy, security, or noise reduction reasons. In these cases, selecting a narrower partition is often the best solution.
Using the earlier example, even with 50 inches of available space, a customer might choose a 32-inch wide partition—the shortest width available—to keep the opening as small as possible while still fitting the vehicle.
3. Choose Your Divider Style: Glass or Solid
Once you’ve selected the partition width, the next decision is the divider style. Depending on the partition size, you can typically choose between glass or solid options. (Some sizes do not offer a dual option.)
- Glass Partition
A glass divider is ideal for customers who want a balance between privacy and visibility. When the window is raised, it provides privacy for the passenger while still allowing the driver to maintain visual awareness. This option is especially popular in applications where communication and visibility are important. - Solid Partition
For customers seeking maximum privacy, the solid option is the best choice. While it does not provide complete soundproofing, it significantly reduces noise between compartments. This option is ideal for those who prioritize discretion and separation. To achieve a finished, professional appearance, the solid board will need to be upholstered.
4. Final Thoughts
Choosing the right partition comes down to three simple considerations: your available vehicle width, how large you want the opening to be, and the level of privacy you prefer. With these factors in mind, you can confidently select a partition that fits both your vehicle and your expectations.
